STRAIN SEISMOGRAPH OPERATING PROCEDURES AND APPLICATIONS

Abstract

Procedures necessary to operate the multicomponent strain seismograph facility located at the Wichita Mountains Seismological Observatory (WMSO) and the applications of these seismographs to the enhancement and identification of seismic waves are discussed. The theory of strain seismometers and their response to seismic waves are examined to assist in the interpretation of strain seismograms. A description of the WMSO strain seismograph system is also included.
