Broadband Seismic Observations of Artificial Sources in the Kirishima Volcanic Area, Japan

Abstract

We conducted broadband seismic observations of artifical explosions on December 1, 1994, in the Kirishima volcanic area, southern Kyushu, Japan. We clarified the dominant characteristics of wave-propagating paths in this area and the potential of broadband seismic observations for artifical sources. We analyzed seismograms at three sites located around one of the shot points (near Karakuni Dake) at distances shorter than 1.3 km
