Close-in Regional Source Studies for Seismic Discrimination

Abstract

The report is divided into two parts. The first part describes contract work that is now being written up in publishable manuscripts. Topics covered include: (1) analysis of wideband digital data for elucidation of the seismic source (two manuscripts in preparation); (2) analysis of eastern Kazakh explosions for the effects of anomalous tectonic excitation (1 in preparation); and (3) an evaluation of the seismic moment tensor method for analysis of close- in accelerometer data of the JORUM, PIPKIN, and HANDLEY tests (1 in preparation) . The second part of the report consists of 4 manuscripts that have been completed for submission to the journals. Topics covered include: (4) amplitude- yield scaling of chemical explosions; (5) new evidence on the Pn-Rayleigh and another near-regional seismic discriminant; (6) the computation of near-field canonical sources by exact theory in a multilayered medium; and (7) seismic discrimination at near-regional distances using only Pn.
