Popis: Analysis of the enlarged set of Special Data Collection System (SDCS) data showed that all P waves observed in the WUS (Western United States) showed a significant loss of high frequency energy compared to losses at the Canadian station RKON. While magnitude differentials at most WUS stations conformed to previously reported WUS-EUS (Eastern United States) bias patterns after crustal amplification corrections have been made, Nevada Test Site (NTS) stations showed higher amplitudes than expected on the basis of their t* data. Still, they were significantly lower in amplitude than RKON's. At present this can only be explained by local focusing.
