Abstract
HERE I describe a method of utilizing the recognized differences in the short period (SP) spectra of earthquakes and underground explosions to aid in their discrimination. The method produces a dramatic increase in the separation between a suite of Nevada Test Site (NTS) explosion events and earthquakes in the Gulf of California area over that obtainable by the TMF (Third Moment of Frequency) method1,2.
