Study on the method for comprehensive discrimination of small earthquakes

摘要

In the paper, we apply the theory of modern digital signal processing to analysis 3-component digital seismic data recorded in Datong area of Shanxi Province by digital seismographs developed by the Institute of Geophysics, CSB in November 1999 and study the auto-discrimination of the recorded digital seismic signals. The result shows that the method for comprehensive discrimination in connection with ratios between average values of long-time and shorttime signals, spectral analysis, and wavelet analysis can be used to auto-discrimination of seismic signals through alternate man-computer processing. Many ML>2.0 earthquakes were discriminated better.
