Parameters:

  • Earthquake Focal Mechanism (252)

    Keywords: Earthquake Focal Mechanism

    These data supersede data identified by: N/A

    These data have been superseded by: N/A

    Comments: A complete QA and Technical review has not been performed upon this data set, therefore, the data are unqualified.

  • 12/5/05: The data have undergone a complete QA and techncial review and are now qualified.

    Procedures used:

  • IPR-001, "Operation of the Yucca Mountain Digital Seismic Network", Rev. 5
  • IPR-002, "Determining the Location of Earthquakes Recorded by the Yucca Mountain Seismic Network", Rev.4
  • IPR-003, "Determining the Magnitude of Earthquakes Recorded by the Yucca Mountain Seismic Network", Rev. 4

    Software used:
    FPFIT 1.0 (10083-1.0-00)

    Acquisition/Development Method: These data are collected from stations of the Southern Great Basin Seismic Digital Network and a small number of analog stations. Data was processed through the Antelope data collection system, HYPOINVERSE was used to obtain locations, MLCALC determined magnitudes, and FPFIT ascertained the focal mechanisms.

    Location(s):

  • Nevada Seismology Laboratory
  • University of Nevada, Reno

    Start/End Period: 04/01/2005 - 06/30/2005

    Other Management Information: These data were acquired or developed under project activity ORD-FY04-006 of the NSHE/YMP Cooperative Agreement # DE-FC28-04RW12232.

    Source Data Usage Information
    006DV.011 approx. 3-5% of the source dataset, namely those with magnitude >= 1.5, were used as input. The source data included all events located for the fiscal year 2001. A subset of only the largest events was made, as focal mechanisms cannot normally be determined for small events. Hypocentral data and associated
