Introduction

This is a test using a local source model for South Korea to imvestigate the effect of source depth of an explosion  on the teleseismic P-wave signal at  an arc distance of 50 degrees.  The  teleseismic propagation odel is tak135sph.mod which is also used at the receiver.  The vertical component wave forms are shown.

Example

The traces are plotted in true amplitude  to show the effect of depth on the obseved signal.  Obviously the  teleseismic T* attenuation operator smooths out the distinct pP arrival
