EVALUATION OF SEISMIC INSTRUMENTS AND BASIC RESEARCH ON SEISMIC WAVE PROPAGATION

Abstract

Seismometer test procedures are presented. Results of the tests performed on the seismometers used in the portable seismic detection system are detailed. The results of frequency response tests performed on the portable seismic detection system are presented. Changes and modifications of the portable seismic detection system are described. Equipment additions to the Data Analysis Laboratory are described. A brief discussion of a program used to process data taken with the portable seismic detection system is given. A description of a quartz fiber tiltmeter and gravimeter developed during this contract is presented.
