When additional sensors are applied, (1) arrival times and (2) amplitudes help<br />

pinpoint the source zone. The ordered pair in lower right figure represents the<br />

two sensors detecting the signal in the zone and the order of signal arrival at<br />

each sensor. When relating signal strength to peak amplitude, the largest<br />

peak amplitude is assumed to come from the nearest sensor, second largest<br />

from the next closest sensor and so forth.<br />
