Worldwide Detection Capability of a Prototype Network of Seismograph Stations

Abstract

An investigation into the detection capability of a prototype seismic network has been completed. This investigation was threefold in nature. The first investigation was a comparison of event lists; second, the effect of careful reading of seismograms was determined; and, finally, a simple statistical model was programmed to predict the probability of an N-station detection from an M-station network with a known average station probability.
