Erratum to: Data Fusion to Support Integrated Nuclear Detonation Detection [Slides]

The original document (LA-UR-22-29547) contained minor equation errors that approximate correct equations that couple the multi-sensor, serial system detector thresholds for a seismic Rayleigh wave detector and an acoustic energy detector. Those errors appeared on slides 62-67. This erratum associates the following slides with the erroneous slides. The numbers of the erroneous slides are marked at the upper right in small text in orange. A result of those errors over-predict the performance of the two-sensor serial network, that is, the former document provides an optimistic estimate of system performance.

Metrics to Assess Lightning Context

The Integrated Nuclear Detonation Detection (iNDD) project seeks to develop two statistical constructs. The first will fuse operational data from Nuclear Detonation Detection (NDD) systems in order to determine whether a nuclear event has likely occurred; this is referred to as the “fused detector.” The assorted detection domains of NDD systems span independent regimes with uncorrelated backgrounds; for example, lightning is a background for satellite-based systems, while earthquakes are a background for seismic systems.
