Audun- You may be looking at ~M3.5+ at 2km which is rather Awesome....
See Prof John Louie's chart at UNR relating EQ Mag to seismic energy Yie=

It depends on the coupling and if it is a ripple shot rather than 1 big =
bang.

All,
I've just learned that during easter our harbour will be opened up with
explsives, 2km from where I live (Stavanger/Norway).
They will be using 120metric tonnes of explosives. =

Does anybody have an idea if this could be used as a benchmark for my
seismometer in regards to get a usable calibration? I'm thinking down
the road of Velocity/Accelleration/Displacement?

The guys involved in the blast must have some calculations ready as part=

of the pre job planning/safety. And I can contact them if you guys think=

It's worth pursuing.

regards
Audun
