Construction Manual for the Signal Acquisition System of the Montana Large Aperture Seismic Array

摘要

The objective of the large Aperture Seismic Array is improved capability for discrimination between nuclear explosions and earthquakes. The large number of sensors and the large apertures provided by the array design promise a significant reduction of seismic noise and a consequent significant increase in signal-to-noise ratios when array processing techniques are applied. This manual describes the instrumentation and field techniques used in installing a seismograph system which provides analog signals to the LASA data handling and telemetry system. (Author)
