The installation of a typical radio-linked station is shown in Figure 4. Degradation or interruption of data transmission due to inclement weather conditions is a major problem during the winter months. Some indication of the operational reliability of the USGS stations can be inferred from the plot of station use in Figure 5.

DATA PROCESSING

The 16-mm films (four per day) are mailed weekly from Palmer to Menlo Park where the seismic data are processed by the following multi-step routine:

1. Scanning. The scan film, which has 18 stations distributed throughout the network. i s scanned to identify and note times of all seismic events whether of iocal, regional, or teleseismic origin.

2. Timing. For the "well-recorded" local earthquakes identified in the scanning process, the following data are read from each station: P- and S-wave arrival times, direction of first motion, duration of signal in excess of a given threshold amplitude, and period and amplitude of maximum recorded signal. The criterion for choosing earthquakes to be timed is the duration of the signal, which i s related to the magnitude. The network is divided into three regions--western, central and eastern-- bounded approximately by longitudes 156O and 150" W., 150° and 145" W., and 145" ana 138" W., respectively. In the western and central regions, only events with signal durations longer than 80 s and 20 s, respectively, are timed. In the eastern region, a1 1 earthquakes which are recorded by at least three stations and for which at least four clear arrivals can be read are timed. These criteria were established to select from the large number of earthquakes recorded by the network those shocks that are of greatest interest to current research objectives.

Timing is done by projecting the seismic traces onto a table and digitizing the onsets of the P- and S-phases. The output from the digitizer, in the form of x-y data pairs on punched computer cards, is converted into phase data by computer using the program DIGIT3 (written by P. Ward and W. Ellsworth for use within the U.S. Geological Survey).

3. Initial computer processing. The phase data from the films are batch processed by computer using the program HYPOELLIPSE (Lahr, 1980) to obtain origin times, hypocenters, magnitudes and, if desired, first-motion plots for fault-plane solutions.

4. Analysis of initial computer results. Each hypocentral solution is checked for traveltime residuals greater than or equal to 0.75 seconds and for a poor spatial distribution of stations. Arrival times that produce large residuals are re-read. For shocks with a poor distribution of stations, readings from additional stations outside the USGS network are sought.

5. Final computer processing. The poor hypocentral solutions are rerun with corrections and the new solutions are checked for large residuals that might be due to remaining errors. Corrections are made as required before the final computer run is made.

APPENDIX

Cataloq of Earthquakes

Earthquakes from southern Alaska are listed in chronological order. The following data are given for each event:

1. Origin time in Universal Time (UT): date, hour (HR) , minute (MN), and second (SEC). To convert to Alaska Standard Time (AST) subtract 10 hours.

2. Epicenter in degrees and minutes of north latitude (LAT N ) and west longitude (LONG W).

3. DEPTH, depth of focus in kilometers.

A letter code after the depth indicates as follows:

C - Solution was constrained based on EMRC source. O - Depth was constrained by a geophysicist. P - Solution was constrained based on PDE source. W - Station weighting modified (for events outside of network).

4. MAG, coda duration magnitude (FMAG) of the earthquake. A letter following the magnitude indicates a magnitude other than FMAG as follows:

A - Amp1 itude magnitude (XMAG), USGS. B - Body-wave magnitude (mb) , USGS National Earthquake Information

Service (NEIS). C - Local magnitude (ML), EMRC. ti - Local magnitude (ML), UOFA. H - Helicorder magnitude, an approximate magnitude calculated using

an empirical relationship between magnitudes determined from Develocorder records and corresponding coda durations or aniplitudes measured on Helicorder records.

P - Local magnitude (ML), Alaska Tsunami Warning Center. S - Surf ace-wave magnitude (MS), NEIS.

5. NP, number of P arrivals used in locating earthquake.

6. NS, number of S arrivals used in locating earthquake.

7. GAP, largest azimuthal separation in degrees between stations.

8. D3, epicentral distance in kilometers to the third closest station to the epicenter.

Page 26: UNITED OF THE INTERIOR - dggs.alaska.gov

9. RMS, root-mean-square error in seconds o f the traveltime residuals:

where Ri is the observed minus computed arrival time o f the ith arrival, Wi i s the corresponding weight of the arrival, and t h e weights are normalized so that their sum equals N, the total number of arrivals used in the solution.

10. ERH, largest horizontal deviation in kilometers from the hypocenter within the one-standard-deviation confidence ellipsoid. This quantity is a measure of the epicentral precision for an event. Values of ERH t h a t exceed 25 km are tabulated as 25 km.

Projection of ellipsoid onto horizontal plane:

11. ERZ, largest vertical deviation in kilometers from the hypocenter within the one-standard-deviation confidence ellipsoid. This quantity is a measure of the depth precision for an event. Values of ERZ that exceed 25 km are tabulated as 25 km.

Projection o f ellipsoid onto vertical plane:

12. Q, q u a l i t y of t h e hypocenter. T h i s index i s a measure of t h e p r e c i s i o n of t h e hypocenter (see s e c t i o n Ana l ys i s of Q u a l i t y ) and i s c a l c u l a t e d f r om ERH and ERZ as f o l l o w s :
