T-PHASE SOURCES AND EARTHQUAKE EPICENTERS IN THE PACIFIC BASIN

Abstract

Two years of T-phase source locations are compiled together with U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey earthquake epicenters in the Pacific Basin for the same time period. It is shown that the T-phase sources have a higher density in regions which insonify the hydrophone array and an accuracy equivalent to or better than C+GS epicenters in regions where geometry is favorable, or where abyssal T phases are generated.
