PFO - STATION INSTRUMENTATION
15. TERRAscope Seismograph Network -TS
DATES OF OPERATION: 01 Nov 1990 to Present
SEISMOMETER TYPE AND ADC:
Streckeisen Model STS-1/VBB 3 component system. Kinemetrics Model FBA-23 for
very short period channels. ADC is Quanterra Model Q-52K.
DIGITAL FORMAT:
24 bit integer data words for all broadband (20 sps), long period (1 sps), very
long period (0.1 sps) and ultra long period channels. Range: +8.388,607 to
-8, 388,608. 16 bit integer data words for very short period (100 sps), mass
position channels, and all environmental channels. Range: +32767 to -32768.
EVENT DETECTOR ALGOITHIM:
The Murdock event detector (Murdock 1991) is used for the EL_ components and
for the EDO channel.
Comments:
EDO and LDO are given in dynamic pressure. Static pressure can be obtained from
P=(count-5.24)/15.83mbar.
There are two seismograph recording systems connected to the same Streckeisen
seismometers at PFO, one TERRAscope station managed by CALTECH, and one IRIS/IDA
station managed by UCSD. Both stations use the same code PFO.
