Anomalous surface waves from Lop Nor nuclear explosions: Observations and numerical modeling [PDF]
Surface waves from the Chinese test site of Lop Nor are analyzed using long-period and broadband stations located at regional and teleseismic distances and at different azimuths. For most azimuths, strong Love waves between 0.02 and 0.045 Hz are observed
