Abstract
- The data of Reed (1983) are analysed to produce the following empirical equations for the amplitude p0 (overall fluctuation) in Pascals of the air pressure wave associated with a volcanic eruption of volume V km3 or a nuclear explosion of strength M Mt: Here s is the distance from the source in km. $$\begin{gathered} \log _{10} p_0 = 4.44 + \log _{10} V - 0.84\log _{10} s \hfill \\ {\text{ }} = 3.44 + \log _{10} M - 0.84\log _{10} s. \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $$
