1 Towards a physical understanding of the m b :M s Event Screening Criterion Neil D. Selby UK NDC 01 British Crown Owned Copyright/MOD Page 1
2 Introduction Event Screening is the rejection of H0 at a given significance level, where the null hypothesis, H 0, is that seismic (hydroacoustic, infrasound) signals are from a single explosion source. mb :Ms is one of the four experimental provisional event screening criteria in use at the International Data Centre. mb :Ms is based on teleseismic body-wave magnitude m b and surface wave magnitude Ms. Improving our understanding of the physical basis of mb :Ms may enable us to enhance screening performance. 01 British Crown Owned Copyright/MOD Page
3 Introduction Body-waves travel through the interior of the Earth, while surface waves are guided by the surface of the Earth. The basis of the mb :Ms criterion is that, in general, explosions generate smaller surface waves than earthquakes with the same body-wave magnitude. 01 British Crown Owned Copyright/MOD Page

PNE yields from Sultanov et al. (1999). Magnitude yield relationships: Mueller & Murphy (191) model suggests mb -yield and Ms-yield relationships should have the same slope. This does not seem to be the case for NTS. M s = log 10Y + M s 0 1 log 10 Y Both mb and Ms higher for PNEs than NTS explosions of same yield. For Kazakhstan, mb higher than NTS but Ms similar. Higher mb usually attributed to difference in t. 01 British Crown Owned Copyright/MOD Page 19

If m b and Ms scale differently with depth, could this, together with differences in t, explain the difference in m b - and Ms-yield relationships between NTS and the PNEs? 01 British Crown Owned Copyright/MOD Page 0

23 Questions Is the variation in m b -yield between NTS, Kazakhstan and the PNEs due to t? If so, what is the correct value of t for DPRK? Are the differences in M s -yield between NTS/Kazakhstan and the FSU PNEs due to the depth of burial? Is the difference in the m b -yield and M s -yield relationships for NTS due to the scaled depth of burial? What is the appropriate depth / depth-scaling for DPRK? Can the variability of earthquake m b :M s values be reduced by cleverer measurements of m b and M s? 01 British Crown Owned Copyright/MOD Page
