Abstract
Numerical evaluations of theoretical expressions for ground pressure waves due to explosions in the atmosphere are presented for a model atmosphere containing winds. Various wind conditions are studied and distinction is made between winds of the upper and lower atmosphere. It is found that wave speed and amplitude depend on wind conditions, so that any analysis of microbarograms must take into account prevailing wind conditions. Previously published records are studied in the light of the new results presented.
