Multiple Seismic Events

Abstract

The effects of station coverage on the detection threshold existing throughout an area were quantitatively investigated. The calculations were applied to the NTS area to demonstrate the changes in the detection thresholds occurring in five year intervals since 1933. The results demonstrate the need for quantitative consideration of station placement to ensure maximum detection capability.
