EARTHQUAKES LOCATED BY T PHASES DURING THE VELA UNIFORM ALEUTIAN ISLANDS EXPERIMENT, 1964

Abstract

This report tabulates sources and strengths of earthquake T phases recorded by hydrophone net during the VELA UNIFORM Aleutian Islands Experiment (August-September, 1964). In a thirty-seven day period, 654 earthquake locations were found for the entire Pacific, of which 184 were in the Aleutians. Comparison of T-phase strengths with earthquake magnitudes suggests a threshold about magnitude three for location by hydrophone net.
