VELA Network Evaluation and Automatic Processing Research

The report summarizes progress made during the quarter from 1 May 1974 to 31 July 1974 on the VELA Network Evaluation and Automatic Processing Research program. The six tasks of the program are Evaluation of the Very Long Period Experiment VLPE stations Investigation of the detection and discrimination characteristics of a seismic network using VLPE, NORSAR, and ALPA data Investigation of signal detection techniques Investigation of signal estimation techniques Investigation of discrimination techniques using first- zone data and, Simulation of a seismic survellance system consisting of a network of seismic stations.
