Sonic booms originating from aircraft flying at speeds comparable to the speed of sound at ground level were recorded on the ground and on the 460-m BREN tower on the Nevada Test Site. The propagation velocity of sound was determined by measuring the temperature wind speed, and direction from the surface (3 m) to the aircraft flight altitude (10.3 km). Estimation of the rate of kinetic energy dissipation were computed and atmospheric stability was calculated. (Author)
