Seismic travel-times to east Papua from USSR nuclear explosions
Recordings of P seismic waves from a Novaya Zemlya nuclear explosion at 26 sites on the east Papuan peninsula show that there are significant apparent departures (residuals) from travel-times calculated using average earth models. The residual at Port Moresby (PMG) differs by between +0.3 and +0.5 seconds from previous attempts to assign a station effect there. Without precise times and locations of the Novaya Zemlya events it is not possible to determine the proportions of the residual due to source effects and velocity anomalies in the mantle. It is shown that complex crustal structure in the east Papuan region accounts for a significant proportion of the station residuals, which differ from the PMG residual by between -0.72 seconds and +1.41 seconds. There is a tendency towards more negative residuals on the northeast side of the Papuan peninsula.
