Abstract
This paper presents a study on the applicability of a method for the statistical characterization of seismic signals which is based on the statistics of their wavelet sub-band coefficients using stable distributions. The method was originally applied to underwater acoustic signals of the type used in ocean acoustic tomography and seabed classification applications. The same protocol was applied to seismic signals representing the vertical displacement, measured on a traditional seismograph. The study showed that this process can indeed provide a means of characterizing a seismic signal and be used to estimate similarities between seismic signals, which is an important factor in studying seismic activity in an area.
期刊介绍:
The aim of this journal is to provide an international forum for the dissemination of the state-of-the-art information in the field of Computational Acoustics.
Topics covered by this journal include research and tutorial contributions in OCEAN ACOUSTICS (a subject of active research in relation with sonar detection and the design of noiseless ships), SEISMO-ACOUSTICS (of concern to earthquake science and engineering, and also to those doing underground prospection like searching for petroleum), AEROACOUSTICS (which includes the analysis of noise created by aircraft), COMPUTATIONAL METHODS, and SUPERCOMPUTING. In addition to the traditional issues and problems in computational methods, the journal also considers theoretical research acoustics papers which lead to large-scale scientific computations.
