Compendium of blast wave properties : final report / J.M. Dewey and D.J. McMillin.: DR52-4/1-1987E-PDF

Five types of anomalies have been observed in the blast waves from explosions of solid chemical charges varying in size from less than one gram to 500 tons. [...] All of these anomalies are of sufficient magnitude to have a significant effect on measurements, and other studies, of blast waves. The properties of all the anomalies are illustrated by photographs, together with data from other measurements.
