Abstract/Summary

Measurements of seismic local magnitude of explosions of stated charge weight on land and underwater in the UK region in the years 1987 to 2009, recorded at BGS seismological network stations, have been added to similar BGS data for earlier years. The results are presented and discussed as a guide to the estimation of the charge weight for explosions recorded in the UK.
