Application of Acoustic Signal Processing Techniques to Seismic Data
Abstract
In order to obtain an effective discriminant between earthquakes and explosions, techniques which originally had been developed for acoustic signal processing have been applied to seismic data. These techniques include Fourier analysis and related applications software as well as interactive graphics displays of the data. A numeric has been obtained which may provide a useful discriminant between earthquakes and explosions. In conjunction with this investigation, a large amount of seismic data has been consolidated. These data are discussed.

Noise generation in the solid Earth, oceans, and atmosphere, from non-linear interacting surface gravity waves in finite depth
Ardhuin, Fabrice; Herbers, Thomas H.C. (2012);Oceanic pressure measurements, even in very deep water, and atmospheric pressure or seismic records, from anywhere on Earth, contain noise with dominant periods between 3 and 10 seconds, that is believed to be excited by ... -
Methodology for the conduct of a seismic risk mitigation study.
Huntzinger, Mark David (1985-06);The author presents a methodology for evaluating the seismic vulnerability of a bases facilities. The methodology starts with the determination of the "mission important" facilities to a base, the foundation of which ... -
Buried object detection with seismic sonar in the surf zone
Muir, Thomas; Baker, Steven; Gaghan, Frederick; Fitzpatrick, Michael; Sheetz, Kraig (IEEE, 2016);The surf zone presents a difficult environment for remote detection of naval mines and military ordnance, which become buried in the sediment as a result of tidal action, currents and other causes. We have investigated ...
