The Use of Intermediate and Long Period Seismic Waves for Discrimination and Yield Determination

Abstract

This report deals with the following subjects: (1) The use of Lg to determine yield for U.S. explosions as recorded by WWSSN stations in the United States; (2) Analyses of seismic data from the HARZER nuclear explosion as recorded at the Catskill Seismic Array (CSA) in Stone Ridge, New York; (3) Seismic noise characteristics at the CSA; and (4) The calibration and response of the CSA.
