Title of Data: Yucca Mountain Free-Field Strong Motion Earthquake Recordings.

Description: Earthquake recordings from 1996:051 to 2004:252, in SAC format and gathered by earthquakes.

Data Type: Q - Acquired    QA Program: OCRWM QARD-based NSHE QA Program

Award/Contract #: DE-FC28-04RW12232

Source DID(s): N/A

PI: Brune, J. Data Submitter: Biasi, G.

Associated Report: N/A

Notebook Number(s): UCCSN-UNR-053, p. 50-56, 58-61, 74

Scientific Investigation Plan #: SIP-UNR-027

Parameters:

  • Seismic Time Series (7270)
  • Seismograph Station Location (6434)

    Keywords: Strong-Motion Seismic Recordings, Earthquake Accelerograms

    These data supersede data identified by: N/A

    These data have been superseded by: N/A

    Comments: In this data submittal, previous records have been translated to a more useable seismic format. The raw Yucca Mountain strong-motion data is in a difficult ASCII format;SAC is widely used, well documented and much more accessible to likely users. SAC ASCII is ASCII, like the raw data, however, the channel data are separated into individual files.

    Procedures used:

  • IPR-004, "Operation of the Yucca Mountain Strong Motion Network", Rev. 1
  • QAP-3.0, "Scientific Investigation Control", Rev. 10, DCN #4

    Software used:
    TERRA2SAC 2.0 (10642-2.0-00)

    Acquisition/Development Method: Previously submitted seismic recordings were converted to the SAC format using Terra2sac, then gathered into event subdirectories by earthquake.

    Location(s):

  • Permanent Strong-Motion locations around Yucca Mountain
  • University of Nevada, Reno Seismological Laboratory

    Start/End Period: 02/20/1996 - 09/08/2004

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