Summary of Short-Period Explosion and Earthquake Coda Shapes with Implications for Regional Discrimination

Abstract

This report presents a collection of small and large earthquake short-period coda shapes as a function of distance. It is summarized from previous studies by Cohen, Sweetser, and others. New results include coda shapes for delta < 20 deg. The report is intended to serve as a reference for workers who investigate problems related to hiding an explosion in an earthquake. A detailed examination of earthquake and explosion coda also shows for delta < 20 deg that the amplitude ratio P(sub g)/L(sub g) serves as a discriminant in the Southwest United States.
