SITE SELECTION FOR A SEISMIC ARRAY STATION AND CRUSTAL STUDIES IN NORWAY 1965

Abstract

A study of a possible relocation of the seismic array station LHN (Lillehammer) in south-central Norway is first reported in Part I. One new site is recommended. Part II reports results obtained from three widely separated seismic refraction profiles in Norway and a travel time study for seismic waves in Fennoscandia. The Pn velocities found are very close to 8.20 km/sec. Indications of a phase with velocity of 7.50 km/sec are observed. A phase with a velocity of about 6.60 km/sec is well defined in the seismograms. The amplitude for this phase varies strongly. The velocity for the first direct longitudinal wave varies mostly from 6.00 km/sec to 6.15 km/sec. A crustal thickness from 31 km to 38 km has been determined.
