Studies to Improve the Estimation of Seismological Hypocenters and Magnitudes

Abstract

The report gives the development of a useful, mathematical model for the teleseismic travel-times and discusses the statistical techniques involved in the estimation of model parameters. The problems which limit the accuracy of epicenter determinations are discussed in detail.
