| Popis: | Seismologists distinguish underground nuclear explosions from more commonly occurring earthquakes using moment tensor inversion, high-frequency P/S amplitude ratios, mb:Ms comparisons, and P-pP differential travel times. These methods are generally successful for large seismic events (M>3–4) well recorded at regional-to-teleseismic distances (>150 km); however, it is unclear whether they can be modified to work for small events (M |
