HEIGHT-OF-BURST CURVES OVER SNOW

Experimental HE airblast programs over snow undertaken by the Denver Research Institute (working under contract and direct supervision of the U.S. Naval Ordnance Laboratory) and the U.S. Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station are compared. A set of height-of-burst (HOB) curves for a snow-covered...

Description
Summary:Experimental HE airblast programs over snow undertaken by the Denver Research Institute (working under contract and direct supervision of the U.S. Naval Ordnance Laboratory) and the U.S. Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station are compared. A set of height-of-burst (HOB) curves for a snow-covered surface based on these two independent studies is presented. (Author)
