SEISMOMETER TYPE AND DATA ACQUISITION SYSTEM:
Benioff short-period vertical seismometer, Geotech Model 1051 for SHZ data.
Sprengnether long-period seismometers (one vertical Model S-5007-V previously
Model 201 and two horizontal Model S-5007-H previously Model 100) which are
used for both long-period and mid-period data. IDA MK7 data acquisition system.
CALIBRATION EPOCH: 1995, 219 - Present
DIGITAL FORMAT:
16 bit integer data words for all components. Range: +32,767 to -32,768 counts.
EVENT DETECTOR ALGORITHM:
The event detector used for the SHZ channel was developed at the ASL and was
not documented. The mid-period channels are detected on a straight forward
amplitude basis.
