| Abstract: | We have developed a new approach to modeling the acoustic-gravity wave (AGW) radiation from bolide sources. This first effort
involves entry modeling of bolide sources that have available satellite data through procedures developed in ReVelle (Earth
Moon Planets 95, 441–476, 2004a; in: A. Milani, G. Valsecchi, D. Vokrouhlicky (eds) NEO Fireball Diversity: Energetics-based Entry Modeling and Analysis Techniques, Near-earth Objects: Our Celestial Neighbors
(IAU S236), 2007b). Results from the entry modeling are directly coupled to AGW production through line source blast wave theory for the initial
wave amplitude and period at  (at 10 blast wave radii and perpendicular to the trajectory). The second effort involves the prediction of the formation
and or dominance of the propagation of the atmospheric Lamb, edge-wave composite mode in a viscous fluid (Pierce, J. Acoust.
Soc. Amer. 35, 1798–1807, 1963) as a function of the source energy, horizontal range and source altitude using the Lamb wave frequency that was deduced
directly during the entry modeling and that is used as a surrogate for the source energy. We have also determined that Lamb
wave production by bolides at close range decreases dramatically as either the source energy decreases or the source altitude
increases. Finally using procedures in Gill (Atmospheric-Ocean Dynamics, 1982) and in Tolstoy (Wave Propagation, 1973), we have analyzed two simple dispersion relationships and have calculated the expected dispersion for the Lamb edge-wave
mode and for the excited, propagating internal acoustic waves. Finally, we have used the above formalism to fully evaluate
these techniques for four large bolides, namely: the Tunguska bolide of June 30, 1908; the Revelstoke bolide of March 31,
1965; the Crete bolide of June 6, 2002 and the Antarctic bolide of September 3, 2004. Due to page limitations, we will only
present results in detail for the Revelstoke bolide. |
