Extended Array Evaluation Program. Special Report No. 11. Evaluation of the Norwegian Short-Period Array

Abstract

The report describes the final phase of the evaluation of the Norwegian short-period Seismic Array (NORSAR) which has been conducted by Texas Instruments Incorporated at the Seismic Data Analysis Center. The report also summarizes results achieved during the complete evaluation study over the period 1 April 1971 to 30 September 1973. The major areas of study covered by this report are: Array processing performance; partial array performance; maximum likelihood estimation of the NORSAR event detection capability; and evaluation of short-period discriminants. The accumulated data base for this study has been 547 events, including 39 presumed explosions, 33 of which are from the Eurasian continent.
