P wave travel time from Nevada nuclear explosions and station corrections

  • 1. Kurukshetra Univ. (India). Dept. of Mathematics

Description

One hundred fortynine Nevada explosions have been studied. These explosions had more than ten thousands observations. Travel times of P-waves have been obtained. These times are more than J.B. P-times for 60<=Δ<= 170. For all other distances they are less than J.B. P-times. The maximum difference is -2.70 second at 330 epicentral distance. Station corrections for most of the observing stations have also been calculated. These station corrections have been compared with the work of the other authors. The calculated station corrections are in good agreement with the ones obtained by other people for most of the stations. There are significant differences at some stations. (auth.)
