Bayesian Inversion of MDJ Seismograms for Source Parameters and Yields of DPRK Underground Nuclear Explosions 2 to 6
Anton Ziolkowski
Abstract:The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) conducted six underground nuclear explosions at the Punggye-ri nuclear test site at Mount Mantap, a granite peak. Test 1 was separate from tests 2 to 6, which were within about 1 km of each other. Using seismograms recorded at Mudanjiang (MDJ) seismic station in China, I propose a new approach to obtain source parameters, source time functions and yields of events 2 to 6, assuming they share the same Green’s function from Punggye-ri to MDJ. Each source is modell… Show more
