FDSN code XO (1997-1999) Network name The Origins of Mantle Anisotropy beneath Eastern North America (Eastern NA)
Start year 1997 Operated by
  • Brown University, United States of America
End year 1999 Deployment region
Description

The goals of this project were to better constrain variations in seismic anisotropy beneath eastern North America and to use the distribution of anisotropy to infer patterns of asthenospheric flow and lithospheric deformation. STS-2’s were deployed at four sites in southern New York (VASR, WIND, WICK, and SCCC) in June, 1997. The instruments at VASR and WIND were moved to UCON and UHRT (Connecticut) in October, 1998, and the experiment ended in February, 1999. Data was recorded continuously at 20 sps and 1 sps.
