Abstract
The principal objective of this two-year study is to develop and test
a new advanced, automatic approach to seismic detection/location
using array processing. We address a strategy to obtain significantly
improved precision in the location of low-magnitude events compared
with current fully-automatic approaches, combined with a low false
alarm rate. We have developed and evaluated a prototype automatic
system which uses as a basis regional array processing with fixed,
carefully calibrated, site-specific parameters in conjuction with
improved automatic phase onset time estimation. We have in parallel
developed tools for Matched Field Processing for optimized detection
and source-region identification of seismic signals. This narrow-band
procedure aims to mitigate some of the causes of difficulty encountered
using the standard array processing system, specifically complicated
source-time histories of seismic events and shortcomings in the plane-wave
approximation for seismic phase arrivals at regional arrays.
