Spectral Analysis of Seismic Signals Generated by CHASE VII and CHASE V Detonations

Abstract

The CHASE VII event consisted of the underwater explosion of 400 tons TNT equivalent at a nominal detonation depth of 3000 feet. The CHASE V event had a yield of 1000 tons and was detonated at a nominal depth of 4000 feet. Narrow band spectra of the seismic signals generated by these events as received at a number of LRSM stations and Vela observatories are presented. Source-receiver distances of selected stations range from approximately 700 to 5000 kilometers.
