Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

To determine the optimum conditions of radio sounding of the ionosphere for the remote monitoring of an explosion it is necessary to work out the "adequate for experiment" model of acoustic wave propagation from Earth's surface to ionosphere heights, then, the interaction of the acoustic waves with the ionosphere, and to determine the variations of the Doppler shift of the radio wave. Such a model has been worked out at the Institute of Ionosphere. The model has been tested using acoustic and Doppler shift measurements during the Mill Race experiment (surface chemical explosion, power about 500 tons TNT, U.S.A., 1981).
