There are two huge pools at Aberdeen Proving Ground in Aberdeen, MD. They are used to study the concussive effects of underwater explosions. They then go out and do the real thing at sea. The Naval sea Systems Command often funds these efforts. A lot of the data gathered is applicable to marine studies, e.g. temperature, wave/pulse lengths, range, etc. The point of contact is Bob McHugh (sp.?) at 410-278-9237. If he doesn't have the information, he knows who does. Good luck! Connie ______________________________ Reply Separator _________________________________ Subject: underwater explosions - effects?

A 20 ton TNT explosion will take place about 60 miles offshore and I'm seeking information on the subject. Thanks. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Paulo Santos | Tel :351-2-310290 Instituto de Zoologia | Fax :351-2-2004777 Faculdade de Ciencias do Porto | e-mail: [log in to unmask] Praca Gomes Teixeira 4050 Porto PORTUGAL | I love fish! =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
