Long-Range Seismic Recording of the MISTY PICTURE High Explosive Test, White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico

摘要: Abstract : The Solid Earth Geophysics Branch of the Air Force Laboratory recorded MISTY PICTURE high explosive test at nine sites in Tularosa Basin southern New Mexico. Each site consisted a three component seismometer set and digital event recorder. stations were due south explosion between 95 127 km. Analysis P-wave travel times indicates that crust is 30-32 km thick beneath Basin, side graben Rio Grande Rift. S-wave are consistent with earlier surface wave results. Polarization analysis complex scattered converted energy P- groups. Keywords: Seismic data; High tests; Chemical explosions; Seismology; waves; Crustal structure.
