Progress Report NORSAR Phase 3.

Abstract

The report covers the period 1 January - 31 March 1973 which is characterized by improving, estimating and simulating the array detection capability. The task of connecting NORSAR (Norwegian Seismic Array) to the socalled ARPANET is in progress. The event reporting capability was significantly better in this reporting period than in the corresponding period in 1972. The potential of using amplitude weights in the array beamforming has been investigated and a gain in SNR amounting to 4-6 dB for 8 randomly selected very weak events in Central Asia was achieved. Event magnitudes as reported by NORSAR are similar to those of NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) for small events (m sub b approximately 4.0) but below NOAA for relatively large events.
