Seismic Discrimination

Abstract

The report contains research on source characteristics, propagation path effects and array processing. The long-period characteristics of explosions are examined and tested against theoretical models. Short period worldwide data are used for a network study of a set of Eastern Kazakh events. A new computer program is being used to trace rays through heterogeneous structures. A detailed study of a Chinese event is given with particular reference to the impact that subsurface structure has on different discriminant tests. The spectraforming process is described and its impact on discrimination discussed. New facilities and the daily Lincoln bulletin are described.
