Challenges for mining explosion identification under a Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty: Quantification of the problem and discussion of synergetic solutions

摘要: Seismic networks provide the primary technology for monitoring compliance with a comprehensive test ban treaty. The design goal of network is identification possibly clandestine explosions detonated below earth`s surface and possible in oceans. Complementary technologies such as infrasonic, hydroacoustic radionuclide supplement seismic covering atmosphere This paper will focus on problems or ambiguities that can arise process chemical explosions. Key questions addressed include: How many mining produce seismograms at regional distances have to be detected, located ultimately identified by National Data Center? What are waveform characteristics these particular explosions? Can discrimination techniques based empirical studies placed firm physical basis so they applied other regions where we little experience? With this information, evasion capabilities assessed region? large scale used calibrate source propagation path effects stations? depth burial decoupling studied controlled environment?
