Observations from the IDA network of attenuation and splitting during a recent earthquake

Nature volume 277, pages 358–362 (1979)Cite this article

Abstract

The project for the International Deployment of Accelerometers (IDA) is intended to provide very low frequency seismic data for the study of Earth structure and source mechanisms. This article outlines preliminary results on attenuation and splitting derived from IDA recordings of a recent large earthquake.
