LOCATING AN UNDERWATER SITE OF A NUCLEAR EXPLOSION DETECTED BY A HYDROACOUSTIC NETWORK

There is a need for this country to be able to assure itself that an international ban on nuclear testing can be made effective. This thesis studies one small portion of that problem - to wit, the procedure for classifying an underwater detonation which has vented and which has been detected by a hydroacoustic network.
