LAUSR

The design of an optimal array configuration is an important task in array seismology during experiment planning. Theoretically, the array response function (ARF), which depends on the relative position of array stations and frequency content of the incoming signals, can be used as an array design criterion. In practice however, additional constraints and parameters have to be taken into account (e.g. land ownership, site-specific noise levels, or characteristics of the seismic sources under investigation). Providing a preview of the outcomes of an array by simulating the recorded signals at individual stations and processing the synthetic array data, is beneficial over purely ARF-based array design because more realistic constraints can be included.
