Analysis of Techniques for Application of Magnitude Corrections Developed by Marshall, Springer, and Rodean
Abstract
Analysis of the procedures recommended by Marshall, Springer an Rodean (1979) for correction of explosion magnitude due to pP and absorption shows that the techniques are needed and are generally satisfactory. However, the pP correction could be made more accurate and operationally applicable, and the absorption correction needs further checking and perhaps a different approach. A new attack on the general problem is recommended in order to properly treat problems of focusing-defocusing, crustal amplification, clipping and noise data, and pP and absorption as mentioned above.
