NORSAR Basic Seismological Research

Abstract

As part of our effort to enhance the performance of the Intelligent Monitoring System, we have embarked on a series of projects to aid in the understanding of the behavior of the tectonic processes currently acting within Norway as well as wave propagation effects for observed seismic phases. Partial contents: Surface wave modelling for source and structure inversion; Topographic effects on seismic arrays and three-component stations; Local Magnitudes and regional wave attenuation; A generalized beamforming approach to real time network detection and phase association; Region-specific knowledge derived from analysis of NORESS data. Keywords: Seismic wave propagation; Earthquake faulting; Position location; Primary waves seismic waves; Seismological stations; Seismic data; Seismic phase detection; Seismic magnitude; Explosions; Surface wave modelling; Source and structure inversions; Topographic effects; Local magnitudes; Regional attenuation; Network detection; Phase association; Region-specific knowledge; NOBSAR-scientific; Nur sar-contrib; Intelligent monitoring systems.
