Seismic Wave Generation and Propagation from Complex 3d Explosion Sources
The objective of this new project is to investigate the generation of complex seismic waves by explosions in media with realistic three-dimensional (3D) heterogeneity, including topography. To do this, we use information on subsurface heterogeneity from nuclear test sites to develop 3D models that have the characteristics of the emplacement media for actual nuclear tests. We then run calculatio...
متن کاملWave Propagation from Complex 3d Sources Using the Representation Theorem
In spite of extensive prior research on generation of seismic waves by underground nuclear explosions, it is still not possible to provide a complete explanation for the observed wavefields, particularly at regional distances. Spherically symmetric explosion models embedded in layered elastic media effectively model the P phases generated by explosions, and the major characteristics of some ref...
متن کاملHistorical seismograms for unravelling a mysterious earthquake: The 1907 Sumatra Earthquake
S U M M A R Y History of instrumental seismology is short. Seismograms are available only for a little more than 100 years; high-quality seismograms are available only for the last 50 years and the seismological database is very limited in time. To extend the database, seismograms of old events are of vital importance. Many unusual earthquakes are known to have occurred, but their seismological...
متن کاملAnalysis of seafloor seismograms of the 2003 Tokachi-Oki earthquake sequence for earthquake early warning
[1] Earthquake Early Warning (EEW) algorithms estimate the magnitude of an underway rupture from the first few seconds of the P-wave to allow hazard assessment and mitigation before the S-wave arrival. Many large subductionzone earthquakes initiate 50–150 km offshore, potentially allowing seafloor instruments sufficient time to identify large ruptures before the S-waves reach land. We tested an...
متن کاملP-Wave Attenuation with Implications for Earthquake Early Warning
Several widely implemented and tested earthquake early warning algorithms employ empirical equations that relate earthquake magnitudes with groundmotion peak amplitudes and hypocentral distances. This approach is effective to the extent that the offline dataset available for setting the fitting coefficients in those equations is of sufficient quality and quantity. However, to address the proble...
