The Detection Association Processor

Abstract

This report concerns the design of a seismic event detection association processor. This processor consists of algorithms which automatically convert seismic signal detections from a network of stations stored centrally as a list of station detection bulletins into a corresponding event list, while discarding spurious detection, or false alarms. These algorithms process single site short-period detections as well as array detections. An automatic depth estimate is also performed. Testing via simulation indicates that the resulting event list is accurate enough so that relevant waveform data may be retrieved automatically. It is recommended that the detection association processor be further evaluated on both simulated and real networks.
