Multiple Seismic Events\

Abstract

Visual records from all available sources for eight nuclear shots of a multiple nature have been obtained and converted to digital form. Identification logic employing Cepstrum analysis has been established and the application of this logic to real data is presently under investigation. Preliminary results with Cepstrum analysis appear encouraging. Identification logic including the use of P-wave radiation patterns and/or cross correlation with signals of known origin are being considered. Preliminary results indicate that for distance ranges of 100 km to 1000 km the P-wave radiation pattern may provide a viable means of identification. M sub L and m sub b magnitude relationships were developed for shots and earthquakes. Triggering of microearthquakes by tidal forces were also investigated.
