Observations of ionospheric disturbances following a 5-kt chemical explosion. I - Persistent oscillation in the lower thermosphere after shock passage
Abstract
A 6-min-period oscillation persisting for an hour has been observed in the ionospheric E region following a 5-kt chemical explosion on the ground 250 km south of the measurement site. The oscillations' phase velocity in the upper atmosphere is 0.15 km/s at an azimuth 60 W.
