A re-analysis of the atmospheric and ionospheric effects of the Flixborough explosion.

Original language description

The ionospheric record of the 1974 cyclohexane vapur cloudexplosion (VCE) accident near Flixborough is re-examined. The reconstructed oblique Doppler sounding records from six radio traces agree remarkably well with experimental results when a ground source explosion yield of 283.+-.38 tons of TNT is utilized. This result suggests that only 14.+-.2 tons of cyclohexane was involved in the explosion. The time of the explosion determined from the model agrees with that determined seismically. This validates the model used to describe the propagation of acoustic waves in the atmosphere and ionosphere.
