Seismic Studies for Improved Yield Determination
The report summarizes the results of the second three months of research on a contract whose main objective is to examine the parameters that effect the seismic signals from underground nuclear explosions. Results were presented on research in five areas: 1. Data pertinent to regional bias in M sub b and M sub S in the United States and central Asia were summarized; 2. Signals simulating those from multiple explosions were decomposed and scaled by narrow-band filtering methods; 3. Numerical simulations of contained explosions were compared with previous laboratory simulations; 4. Laboratory experiments of cratering explosions were completed using 0.25 gram charges embedded in concrete; and 5. The primary factors controlling amplitude-yield scaling at regional distances were investigated.
