Exciting news! We're transitioning to the Statewide California Earthquake Center. Our new website is under construction, but we'll continue using this website for SCEC business in the meantime. We're also archiving the Southern Center site to preserve its rich history. A new and improved platform is coming soon!

Request for Letters of Interest in Handling PBO Borehole Seismic Data

Date: 12/19/2005

UNAVCO seeks a partner organization to develop, implement, and operate an end-to-end management system for telemetered and manually retrieved data from a 103-station borehole seismic network in the western United States. This work is part of the NSF-funded EarthScope Plate Boundary Observatory project.

Each station comprises a three-component 2-Hz borehole seismometer, a Kinemetrics Q330 data logger, a Linux Baler or Marmot as an external data at a lower rate, while collecting 200 sample/second data on the external buffer for later manual retrieval.

UNAVCO wishes to develop and implement an end-to-end transport, quality checking, and archiving system for these data. This includes retrieval of telemetered data from the remote stations to a central data center in near real-time, distribution of raw data to the community in near-real time, quality checking of raw data, and long-term archiving and distribution of both raw and quality-checked data. It also includes the ability to handle non-telemetered data received at a later time.

We encourage any interested organization to send an e-mail to Greg Anderson, PBO Data Products Manager, at anderson@unavco.org. The e-mail should provide full contact information and indicate your interest. Please send such e-mails by 23 December 2005. If you require additional information, please contact Greg Anderson at anderson@unavco.org or 303-381-7555.
