# Source parameters of the Siberian explosion of June 30, 1908, from analysis and synthesis of seismic signals at four stations

Ari Ben-Menahem, 1975. _Physics of the Earth and Planetary Interiors 11(1), 1–35_.

Analyses the 1908 seismograms from four stations and synthesises them; from the forest damage and the arrival times of Rayleigh and SH waves at Irkutsk derives an explosion height of about 8.5 km.
