Theoretical response of a seismograph at Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, to an underground explosion at the Nevada test site
A comparison of the theoretical response of the short-period, vertical-component seismograph at Yellowknife to an underground explosion originating at the Nevada Test Site with a real seismogram indicates that the prime contributors to complexity are likely due to the following: (a) complex crustal reverberations at the N.T.S., (b) different phase arrivals, and (c) signal-generated noise at Yellow knife.
