Seismic Recordings in the Northeastern United States of the Shagan River Nuclear Test of 14 September 1988.

摘要

On 14 September, the USSR conducted an announced nuclear test as part of the US-USSR Joint Verification Experiment (JVE) called for in the protocols of the Threshold Test Ban Treaty of 1974. The test, code named SHAGAN, was detonated at the Shagan River test area in eastern Kazakh SSR. For this nuclear test, a small-aperture array in New Hampshire and a small five station network located in the Adirondack Mountains of New York State were operated. The following report describes the data taken during this experiment and preliminary analysis of the arrival time and magnitude estimates from the data. The results of this analysis are consistent with those from previous studies.
