Regional Detection of Decoupled Explosions, Yield Estimation from Surface Waves, Two-Dimensional Source Effects, Three-Dimensional Earthquake Modeling and Automated Magnitude Measures

Abstract

This semiannual technical report includes summaries of five separate technical reports. These are: (1) 'A Simulation Study of the Detectability of a 5.3 KT Decoupled Explosion at Regional Distances in the Eastern United States;' (2) 'Yield Estimation from Surface Wave Recordings of Underground Explosions - A Review;' (3) 'The Contribution of Two-Dimensional Source Effects to the Far- Field Seismic Signatures of Underground Nuclear Explosions;' (4) 'Three- Dimensional Earthquake Modeling Including Nonlinear Rupture Dynamics;' (5) 'Automated Magnitudes m sub b and M sub s.
