SEISMIC MONITORING SYSTEM FOR LOCAL AND REGIONAL NETWORK

THE DEVELOPMENT OF A COMPUTERIZED SYSTEM FOR MONITORING LOCAL AND REGIONAL SEISMIC EVENTS IS PROPOSED. THIS AUTOMATED SYSTEM WILL INCORPORATE MANY OF THE ADVANCED SEISMIC ANALYSIS TECHNIQUES THAT CAN ONLY BE FOUND IN SPECIALIZED AND LARGE SYSTEMS FOR MONITORING UNDERGROUND NUCLEAR EXPLOSIONS THROUGHOUT THE WORLD. AMONG THE STATE-OF-THE-ART METHODOLOGIES WE WILL INTEGRATE INTO THE SYSTEM ARE THE NEW AUTOREGRESSIVE SIGNAL DETECTOR AND ONSET TIME ESTIMATOR, AND THE AUTOMATIC EVENT ASSOCIATOR USING THE GENERALIZED BEAMFORMING TECHNIQUE. THE SYSTEM WILL BE DESIGNED TO ACCOMMMODATE VARIOUS TYPES OF SEISMIC STATIONS. IT WILL ALSO BE DESIGNED TO RUN ON A WORKSTATION COMPUTER, AND IT WILL RUN UNDER THE UNIX AND WITHIN THE X WINDOW SYSTEMS. PROVISION FOR PORTING THE SYSTEM IN THE FUTURE TO OTHER COMPUTERS WILL BE OBSERVED.
