Seismological Discrimination and Yield Determination Research
Abstract
This report summarizes work conducted by Systems, Science and Software concerning the generation, propagation, detection and analysis of seismic waves by both nuclear explosions and earthquake sources. Specific topics covered included numerical simulation of the near field ground motion from earthquakes and explosions, automatic signal processing relating to the detection of seismic events and magnitude determination, a compilation of near source data and the synthesis of this data in terms of the seismic source function, and the determination of the spectral characteristics of acoustic waves from an explosion near the ocean surface.
