PRELIMINARY DESIGN OF A LONG-PERIOD SEISMIC ARRAY FOR NORWAY

Abstract

A preliminary design study for a long-period seismic array in Norway has been completed. It has been shown that if the array contains more or less uniformly distributed seismometers over a disc then the spacings between adjacent elements should be between 20 and 25 km. Larger spacings would result in spacial aliasing of organized noise and signals. Smaller spacings would decrease the array resolving power. Properties of specific array configurations are given. A brief discussion of some engineering considerations is also included.
