20. The dominant wavelength (for Lg with period ∼1 s) is ∼3.3 km.
21. Because the Lg-wave is typically the largest amplitude arrival on the regional seismogram, it is assumed to dominate the cross-correlation differential arrival time measurements, and therefore the Lg-wave group velocity is chosen to estimate event separation distance.

24. If the variances of the two events are equal, absolute location error can be estimated by dividing the relative location error by √2 and adding a contribution due to systematic bias from effects such as model error.
