국내 지진관측소로부터 분석된 지진기록에는 자연지진 이외의 상당수의 인공발파를 포함하는 것으로 해석된다. 자연지진에 대한 지진특성연구, 지질학적 지진의 진원지연구 등을 위 해서는 지진목록에서 인공발파를 식별할 필요가 있다. 한국자원연구소는 인공발파 식별을 위한 연구의 일환으로 지진-공중음파 관측망을 운영 중에 있다. 지진-공중음파 자료분석으로 구분된 인공발파 기록의 대부분이 발파를 실시하는 산업현장과 일치하고 있음이 확인되었다. 발파장의 위치, 발파시간, 규모 및 발파방법 등의 정보는 공중음파를 이용한 인공발파 식별에 관한 정량적 연구와 자연지진에 관한 연구 등에 기본적인 정보(Ground Truth Database)를 제공하리라 판단되므로 국내에서 실시되는 인공발파에 대한 정보가 요구된다.

3-D Spectrograms for 22 events are drawn to discern about whether those are earthquakes or explosions. Generally, in case of explosions relative to the case of earthquakes, amplitude of P phase is more dominantly shown. According to the results on logarithm of spectral ratio of P (Pn, Pg)/Lg after removing free-surface effects from 3-D (U-D, N-S, E-W) seismogram, $-1.2{\sim}-0.9$ is shown for earthquakes and $-0.7{\sim}-0.1$ if shown for explosions. This result is consistent with previous researches (Kim Park, 1997) that -0.6 of spectral ratio between P and Lg after taking logarithm may be the criterion for the discrimination between earthquakes and explosions in Korea. In addition, Complexity is applied to two events as another discrimination method. The value of Complexity of explosion is much smaller than that of earthquake. This may be due to well-developed P-wave in explosion compared to that in earthquake. This result is in accordance with that of 3-D Spectrogram.

This paper proposed an algorithm for extracting spectrum gradient parameter to analyze the characteristics of natural seismic sounds and artificial seismic sounds. The experiment was performed in various area to raise the reliability. The characteristics of natural seismic sounds and artificial seismic sounds were analyzed by extracting gradient indexes of artificial seismic sounds and natural seismic sounds from the data of experiment by using the proposed algorithm. As a result of the experiment and the analysis, gradient indexes of natural seismic sounds were higher than that of artificial seismic sounds because natural seismic sounds had higher attenuation at high-frequency than artificial seismic sounds did and natural seismic sounds were concentrated in low-frequency band.

Recently, the ability of earthquake detection in the Kyungsang Basin of southeastern Korean Peninsula is greatly improved since seismic stations including seismic network of KIGAM(Korea Institute of Geoscience and Mineral Resources) have been significantly increased. However, a large number of signals from explosions are recorded because of frequent medium to large chemical explosions. The discrimination between natural earthquakes and explosions in the Basin has become an important issue. High frequency local records from 43 earthquakes and 43 explosions with comparable magnitude are selected to establish a reliable discrimination technique in the Basin. Several discrimination techniques in spectral domain using spectral amplitude ratios among Pg, Sg, and Lg waves are widely examined with tile selected data. Among them the Pg/Lg spectral ratio method is appeared to be a good discrimination technique to improve the discrimination power. Multivariate discriminant analysis is also applied to the Pg/Lg spectral ratios. The discrimination power of the Pg/Lg ratios for distance corrected three component record compared to uncorrected vertical component one shows distinct improvement. In the frequency band 4 to 14 Hz, Pg/Lg spectral ratio for distance corrected three component record provides discrimination power with a total misclassification probability of only 0.89%.

Atmospheric infrasound is defined as low frequency inaudible sound waves generated from natural phenomena and human activities. One property of long-distance travelling of infrasound makes it possible to detect the wave propagated from remote sound sources and to understand many geophysical phenomena generating it. Recently, advanced global infrasound sensor arrays are being deployed to monitor the clandestine nuclear test and to study geophysical phenomena in the world. In Korea, five seismo-acoustic arrays consisting of co-located seismometer and micro-barometer have been operated to discriminate the artificial explosions from the natural earthquakes in and around the Korean Peninsula. In addition to the discrimination purpose, these ways also record distinct infrasonic signals from natural phenomena on global scale such as large earthquake, bolide event, volcanic explosion, typhoon, and so on. As a new frontier in monitoring the earth, infrasound is being applied to understand various phenomena in and above the earth's surface.

일본 병고현 보부지진은 우리나라는 물론 전세계에 큰 충격을 주었다. 최첨단 과학기술과 경사대국의 재력을 가진 나라들도 이 자연의 무서운 파양역에 아직은 무력함을 이 지진 참사가, 그것을 단적으로 증명해 준다. 지금까지는 한반도이 환태평양 지진대에서 다소 떨어져 있어서 큰 지진이 발생할 염려가 없다는 것이 일반적인 통념이었다. (중략)

This study presents a procedure for discrimination of artificial events from earthquakes occurred in and around the Korean Peninsula using data set in the Wonju KSRS seismograph network, Korea. Two training sets representing natural and artificial earthquakes were constructed with 150 and 56 events, respectively, with high signal to noise ratio. A frequency band, Pg(4-6 Hz)/Lg(5-7 Hz), which is optimal for the discrimination of seismic sources was derived from the two-dimensional grid of Pg/Lg spectral amplitude ratio. The corrections for the effects of earthquake magnitude and hypocentral distance were carried out for improvement of discrimination capability. For correcting the effect of magnitude dependence due to the inverse proportionality of corner frequency to seismic moment, the Brune's source spectrum was subtracted from the observation spectrum. The spectrum was corrected using the optimal damping coefficient to remove damping effect with the hypocentral distance. The effect of locally varying spectrum ratio was cancelled correcting variation of wave propagation along the ray path. The performance in discrimination between training sets of natural and artificial events was compared using the Mahalanobis distance in each step of correction. The procedure of magnitude, distance, and path corrections show clear improvements of the discrimination results with increasing Mahalanobis distance, from 1.98 to 3.01, between two training sets.

This paper proposes an identification technique to discriminate natural and artificial seismic sounds by using the 20 MSVQ algorithm with the data measured by using a hydrophone. Spectrum band energy and MFCC were used as representative parameters for sake of discriminating natural and artificial seismic sounds, and the orders of characterized parameters were determined through experiments. As a result of using 20 MSVQ algorithm with the 2 characterized parameters, MFCC had 99.9% and the spectrum energy parameter had 83.9% percent of success. It was verified that it is extremely accurate when seismic sounds were discriminated by using the method suggested by this paper.

Korea Institute of Geoscience and Mineral Resources (KIGAM) has installed and operated seven seismoacoustic (infrasound) arrays as well as seismic stations in Korea. The seismo-acoustic array, which consists of co-located seismometers and micro-barometers, can observe both seismic and infrasonic signals from distant explosive phenomena. The infrasound is defined as low frequency (<20 Hz) acoustic waves in atmosphere. In particular, it can be detectable at long distance due to its low energy attenuation during propagation in atmosphere. KIGAM adopted the infrasound technology to discriminate surface explosions from earthquakes only because the surface explosion generally generates infrasound following seismic signal. In addition to surface explosions, these arrays have detected diverse geophysically natural and artificial phenomena, such as infrasound signal from the North Korean nuclear test. This review introduced the state-of-the-art studies and examples of infrasonic signals in and around the Korean Peninsula. In conclusion, infrasound technology would be clearly accepted itself as a new Earth monitoring technology by expanding its detectable regime to lithosphere-Earth surface-atmosphere. In future, an advanced technology, which allows to analyze seismic and infrasonic wave fields together, will enlarge the understanding of geophysical phenomena and be used as a robust analysis method for remote explosive phenomena in the broad infrasound regime.

지진해일은 한 번 발생하면 매우 큰 피해를 주는 자연재해 중 하나이다. 특히 최근에 일어나고 있는 지진해일에서 주목할 점은 해저지진의 규모가 커짐에 따라 그로인해 생긴 지진해일이 발생 인접지역에만 피해를 주는 것이 아니라 2010년 칠레지진과 2011년 동일본 대지진으로 생긴 지진해일과 같이 태평양을 가로질러 먼 거리에까지도 영향을 준다는 것이다. 하지만 이러한 지진해일에 대하여 피해 경감 및 재해대책을 수립할 때는 지진해일의 발생시간에 대한 정확한 예측이 불가능하기 때문에 연구하는데 여러 가지 어려움이 있으므로 역사 및 가상지진해일의 수치모의실험 결과를 이용한다. 그래서 이렇게 활용성이 높은 지진해일 수치모의실험 결과의 정확도 검증을 위하여 본 연구를 시작하게 되었다. 본 연구에서 사용한 수치기법으로는 분산항을 제외한 선형 천수방정식을 이용하였고, 이를 차분하는 과정에 나타나는 수치분산을 조정하여 선형 Boussinesq 방정식의 분산항을 대체할 수 있도록 하였다. 그리고 실제 동일본 대지진으로 발생한 지진해일을 전파모의하여 분산항을 고려한 수치모의실험 결과와 이 당시 태평양에서 수면변화양상을 기록한 DART buoy 관측값과의 비교를 통해 정확도를 확인해보았다.
