The relative size of 15 underground nuclear explosions at the Novaya Zemlya test site is determined by applying a relative waveform analysis called intercorrelation to 566 teleseismic short-period P -waves. The waveforms are corrected for the effects of pP interference and yield scaling of the explo...
