Seismic Discrimination,

Abstract

This report represents a small beginning in a several year effort intended to understand whether the use of higher (1-20 Hz) frequencies might help discriminate between earthquakes and underground nuclear explosions. Initial results seem to indicate that improved discrimination and better false alarm rates are possible. The problem is, of course, complex and no claim is made to provide anything but a preliminary discussion defining the problem. Keywords include: seismic discrimination, seismology, underground nuclear testing.
