VELA Network Evaluation and Automatic Processing Research

Abstract

Work performed on Contract F08606-74-C-0033 has been reported in detail in a series of fourteen technical reports. This final report summarizes the material covered in each of the technical reports and discusses the conclusions obtained. The five tasks in the program included a final evaluation of the Very Long Period Experiment (VLPE) stations and an evaluation of the detection and discrimination capabilities of a seismic network composed of VLPE stations and the VELA period arrays in Alaska (ALPA) and Norway (NORSAR). The other tasks were studies concerning techniques for signal detection and signal estimation, discrimination methods for first-zone events, and various analyses of a future world-wide seismic surveillance system.
