Abstract
The accurate location of seismic events is a basic discriminant for underground nuclear test monitoring (Bolt, 1976; Dahlman and Israelson, 1977; Blandford, 1982). Of particular interest are determining epicentral confidence regions and providing constraints on estimated focal depths. In this study, only routine teleseismic P travel-time data are used, as provided by worldwide stations reporting to the International Seismological Centre (ISC). This lessens the need to model the effects of crustal and shallow-mantle velocity variations, as is necessary with seismographic networks operating at regional distances (Blandford, 1981; Evernden et al., 1986).
