Methods of measuring underwater shock waves by crusher gauges, diaphragm gauges piezoelectric gauges are thoroughly described by Cole (Ref 3) in Chapter 7. Cook (Ref 7) describes the use of a 16- to 64-frame/sec camera to measure the free surface vel produced by a shock wave at the surface, and the determination of the underwater pressure-distance curve for TNT
