Research in Seismology
Abstract
Research for this program period has been concerned with the effect which various propagation effects and source properties have on the spectra and wave forms of body- and surface waves. The research is divided into four different but related reports which are presented in the following sections. The first report is concerned with the scaling of teleseismic P-wave ground-motion spectra of underground nuclear explosions. The second describes the use of Love waves as an explosion-earthquake discriminant. The third describes a method for modelling complex earthquakes and presents comparisons with observed data. The fourth reports work on assessing the effect of complex near-source structure on the wave forms of Rayleight waves.
