针对地下爆炸当量估算问题,基于理论地震图仿真和Lg波谱反演方法,系统研究了不同场地中埋深、震源成分(ISO源、CLVD源、DC源及其组合)对源地震矩M0(source)与Lg波地震矩M0(Lg)关系的影响.通过定量标定M0(source)/M0(Lg)比值,结果表明两者比值具有显著的场地依赖性:朝鲜场地比值普遍高于0.2,而内华达场地低于0.2. CLVD和DC源等次生震源会显著降低朝鲜场地的Lg波激发效率(降幅可达50%),同时埋深增大会减弱P⁃S转换效应,导致比值进一步减小.(进一步的,结合震源模型建立了基于Lg波地震矩的当量估算方法,并以朝鲜第六次核试验数据为例进行了验证.
Regarding the estimation of yield of underground explosions, this study systematically investigates the influence of burial depth, source components(ISO, CLVD, DC, and their combinations), and site conditions on the relationship between the source seismic moment M0(source) and the Lg⁃wave seismic moment M0(Lg). Based on theoretical synthetic seismogram simulations and Lg⁃wave spectral inversion methods, we quantitatively calibrated the M0(source)/ M0(Lg) ratio for different test sites. The results reveal significant site dependence: the ratio generally exceeds 0.2 for the North Korean site but falls below 0.2 for the Nevada site. Secondary sources(e.g., CLVD and DC) reduce Lg⁃wave excitation efficiency in the North Korean site by up to 50%, while increased burial depth weakens P⁃S conversion effects, further decreasing the ratio. By integrating a seismic source model, we established a yield estimation method based on M0(Lg) and validated it using data from North Korea's sixth nuclear test.
