ABSTRACT DURING the recent series of Russian atomic weapon tests, microbarographs were operated at this Establishment. The instruments used were purely mechanical devices having limited
frequency response. Excellent records were obtained from several of the larger firings at Novaya Zemlya and particularly from the 50-megaton firing of October 30. Taking the origin time as
08.33 hr. from a study of the seismic signal, we saw the start of the first characteristic microbarograph record (Fig. 1_a_) 3 hr. 11 min. later at 11.44 hr. on October 30; subsequent to
this, we obtained clear signals at approximately 16.40 hr. on October 31 (Fig. 1_b_); 00.10 hr. on November 1 (Fig. 1_c_); and 12.40 hr. on November 2 (Fig. 1_e_). We looked for a signal at
around 05.10 hr. on November 2 but could not see one against the background (Fig. 1_d_). Access through your institution Buy or subscribe This is a preview of subscription content, access
