Real-Time Calibration of Velocimeters Using a Reference Standard

All digital seismic recorders of the Crimean seismological network are equipped with sensors inherited from galvanometric recording. Long-term channels are equipped with SKD sensors, and shortterm channels are equipped with SM3, SKM, SKH, and S-5-S sensors. The instruments periodically undergo preventive maintenance due to wear and long operation life. There are no equipment specialists at peripheral stations. All necessary installation, preventive maintenance, adjustment, and calibration work is done by specialists from the Institute of Seismology and Geodynamics’ hardware and software support team during business trips. In this regard, an urgent need arose for the real-time control of velocimeter parameters and the entire end-to-end measuring and recording channel. Experience at peripheral seismic stations and temporary seismic observation points not equipped with shaking tables has demonstrates the convenience of calibrating short-term seismic channels using a reference standard calibrated mobile digital seismic station. This station is assembled based on a Baikal-8 digital seismic recorder and SK1-P three-component sensor. The reference standard is precalibrated on the shaking table located at the Simferopol seismic station. The paper describes the calibration of the reference standard on a shaking table and different approaches to calculating the main parameters of a velocimeter. The relationship is obtained between the main parameters of the velocimeter and the extremum times and zeros of the velocimeter response function to a displacement step. It is possible to control the velocimeter parameters in real time the obtained formulas, even in the field using. Of special note is the idea of calibrating seismometric channels with respect to the reference standard, which can be implemented without forced external actions. A new method for calibrating a digital seismic station using a reference standard is described, based on analysis of the ratio of microseismic background spectra. The parameters of the calibrated station are determined using synchronous recording of the microseismic background and the mathematical optimization package in OriginLab software. The formulas for calculating velocimeter parameters using a standard are given, which make it possible to determine the complex frequency response of the digital station. This is a convenient method because it is real-time and calibration does not require laboratory conditions, the use of microseisms, or the ability to determine all parameters of endto- end measuring and recording channels simultaneously.     

Structure of the Basic Software and Hardware Complex of the System for Seismometric Monitoring of the Technical Condition of Buildings and Structures

The objective of the present study is to design a basic software and hardware complex (SHC) of a seismometric monitoring system for buildings and structures recommended for serial production. To do this, the authors used modern methods and principles of designing software and hardware systems. The system is methodologically based on the engineering-seismometric method. This method uses recording of spatial vibrations of an object as a result of microseisms of natural and anthropogenic origin. Next, dynamic and elastic characteristics of the structure are determined by vibrations that make it possible to evaluate its technical condition. As a result of conducted studies, the authors defined the main technical and functional requirements for the monitoring system for a wide range of applications. A three-level structure of a modular technical condition monitoring system is proposed for discussion. This structure makes it possible to create an extensible open system in which the number of measuring channels can be easily increased by increasing the number of plugin standard modules. In addition, the system can both record seismic events, earthquakes, and perform seismometric monitoring by microseisms. In order to represent the main processes and structure of the proposed basic complex of the system in the case of its full operation, the authors developed a functional model of the system. The model is based on a data flow diagram that describes the processes of collecting, processing, storing, analyzing, and presenting seismometric monitoring data. The functioning of the proposed complex is briefly described. The input data of the complex are the vibrations of the structure recorded at observation points using three-component geophones. Then, the seismic signal recorder collects, amplifies, digitizes, and transmits data to the server. The server either records seismic events and then evaluates their impact on the structure or carries out a planned recording of microseisms in order to monitor the technical condition of the structure and stores vibration data in the corresponding files. If an earthquake is detected, the system notifies the responsible personnel. Records of microseisms are used by the data processing software to compute the statistical parameters of vibrations and complex transfer functions according to the spectra of which the operator manually selects the values of natural frequencies. Seismic monitoring data processing software evaluates elastic characteristics by a number of natural frequencies using a mathematical design model of the structure vibrations. On the basis of the analysis of the change in the obtained dynamic and elastic characteristics and taking into account the effect of external factors, the software generates information for monitoring the technical condition of the structure. These results, as well as data of the evaluation of the event impact on the structure, are the output data of the system.     

接收函数方法及研究进展

远震P波波形数据中包含了大量在台站下方地壳上地幔速度间断面所产生的P-S转换波及其多次反射波的信息，是研究台站下方局部区域S速度分布理想的震相，由此产生的接收函数方法是反演台站下方S波速度结构的有效手段。接收函数方法可以通过波形反演拟合接收函数的径向分量，对观测台站下方地球介质的S波速度结构进行估计，也可以通过偏移叠加获得的接收函数道集（地震剖面图）追踪速度间断面。这种方法避免了对天然地震震源及其附近结构混响效应等复杂因素的影响，对S波速度的垂向分布敏感，垂向分辨率高。由于宽频带流动地震台阵的发展，用此方法还可获得研究区域速度结构的横向变化，横向分辨能力主要取决于台站的间距。本文回顾20年来接收函数研究的进展，探讨了方法研究的发展趋势，介绍了对地壳-上地幔结构的部分研究结果。     

Inversion of single-station teleseismic P-wave polarization data for the velocity structure of Beijing area

Broadband three-component seismic data recorded by Beijing station (BJI) of CDSN were used to calculate P-wave polarization of teleseismic events. These polarization data were then used in the inversion for the underground structure around the Beijing station, especially for the details of velocity discontinuities. The result shows that a conspicuous low velocity zone exists in the crust on the west of the station, which is in good agreement with previous studies. It proves the theory that polarization data could be applied to inversion for velocity structures, especially for boundaries with large velocity gradient. It also demonstrates the feasibility of velocity structure inversion with polarization data from high-quality broadband data recorded by a single station. Therefore, travel-times and polarization data can be jointly used to study velocity structure. Polarization data are more suitable for delineating the boundary of velocity anomalies. Moreover, if the polarization method is combined with receiver function method to fully exploit their complementarity, it is possible to obtain the lateral velocity variation around the station as well as the detailed vertical variation below the station.     

On the rotation of teleseismic seismograms based on the receiver function technique

The receiver function (RF) technique is a well-established method to investigate the crustal and upper mantle structures based on three-component seismograms of teleseismic events. In the present study, we propose a modified automatic procedure to determine the back azimuth and polarization angles of a teleseismic event based on the RF technique. The method is tested for the recording of 3 permanent and 3 temporary broadband seismic stations located in the vicinity of Poland. Additionally, the analysis of Rayleigh wave polarization is conducted to show that the new procedure is not sensitive to incorrect seismometer orientation. The synthetic modelling of RF by a modified ray-tracing method for 2.5D models beneath each seismic station down to a depth of 60 km is performed to show the effectiveness of the proposed method in the calculation of RF for a complex structure with dipping layers.     

Broadband Registration of High-Frequency Seismic Noise for Studying Tidal Effects

The possibility of registering high-frequency seismic noise in a broadband frequency range (f = 5–400 Hz) has been considered. The use of an accelerometer on based on the S mode of bending vibrations increases the sensitivity and expanses the frequency range. The operating principle of the accelerometer and its main technical characteristics have been described. Pilot registration of seismic noise was organized at Nachiki seismic station in Kamchatka. The comparative results of tidal effects in seismic noise have been presented according to the data of the broadband accelerometer (f = 5–400 Hz) and resonance sensor (f₀ = 30 Hz) during long-term registration on a common base.     

Very broadband seismic background noise analysis of permanent good vaulted seismic stations

This paper describes the results of a preliminary study conducted to analyze seismic background noise at sites of recently deployed very broadband stations of the Egyptian National Seismological Network (ENSN). The main purpose of the study is to assess the effects of permanent seismic vault construction and also to establish characteristics and origin of seismic noise at those sites. Another goal of this study is to determine the time needed for noise at those sites to stabilize. The power spectral densities of background noise at short period band (SP), very broadband (VBB), and ultra long period band (ULP) for each component of each broadband seismometer deployed in the different investigated sites are calculated. A MATLAB code has been developed that manages data processing and data analysis and compares the results with the high-noise model (NHNM) and low-noise model (NLNM) of Peterson (1993). Based on the obtained analysis, the noise stability and the efficiency of each station to record regional and teleseismic events are measured. The results of this study could be used in the future to evaluate station quality, to improve those processes that require background noise values, such as automatic association, and to improve the estimation of station and network detection and location thresholds.     

The seismic signatures of the surge wave from the 2009 Xiaolin landslide‐dam breach in Taiwan

The catastrophic Xiaolin landslide occurred on 9 August 2009, after Typhoon Morakot struck Taiwan. This landslide formed a dam that subsequently breached, burying and flooding the village of Xiaolin. Seismic signals were induced by the landslide and dam breaching and recorded at the Jiaxian broadband seismic station in Taiwan. The time‐frequency spectra for the data from this station were analysed to extract the seismic characteristics of the landslide and to deduce the timing of processes associated with the landslide dam‐break flooding. The duration of the river blockage, the time of the dam breach, the duration of the surge wave and the mean speed of the surge wave were estimated, and the hydrological implications of the flood behaviour were interpreted. The spectral characteristics of the different stream discharges were also studied. Stream water level/discharge is closely related to the frequency of the seismic signals. The broadband stations are particularly useful for flood monitoring due to their ability to continuously record measurements and their high sensitivity. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Best Practice in Earthquake Location Using Broadband Three-component Seismic Waveform Data

—?We present an earthquake location algorithm, the Broadband Waveform Regional Earthquake Location Program (BW_RELP), which utilizes phase onset times and wave azimuths recorded by three-component broadband seismic stations and an adaptive migrating grid search algorithm to find the global minimum in an arbitrary normed misfit parameter. The performance of BW_RELP is demonstrated using regional (300–800?km distant) broadband recordings to locate events in the 1995 Ridgecrest, California earthquake sequence. The purpose of this study is to introduce the BW_RELP algorithm in detail and to expand on the previous paper by Deger et?al. (BSSA, 88, 1353–1362, 1998), using one Berkeley Digital Seismic Network (BDSN) station (YBH) and two USNSN stations (ELK and MNV) which span 300–800?km in distance and 55 degrees in azimuth, to further investigate the capability of a sparse broadband network of three-component stations at monitoring a region located outside of the network, as will be the case in the monitoring of the Comprehensive Test-Ban-Treaty (CTBT) for low magnitude seismic events. We assess the capability of this sparse three-station broadband network and we compare locations estimated from phase onset time and wave azimuth measurements to a ground-truth catalog of high-quality earthquake locations derived from data recorded by the Southern California Seismic Network (SCSN). The results indicate that in the regional distance range it is possible, when an appropriate calibration event is available, to obtain absolute event locations to within 18?km as is prescribed by the CTBT.     

SPICeD: imaging the deep Earth

Michael Kendall and George Helffrich respond to Alan Douglas's paper in the previous issue of Astronomy & Geophysics with a prototype three-component broadband seismic network for the UK.
There are two boundaries in the Earth's deep interior that are as significant in terms of contrast in material properties and dynamics as the lithosphere–atmosphere boundary, where we live. The natures of the core-mantle boundary and the inner-core/outer-core boundary have significant implications for the stability of the Earth's magnetic field, style of convection, moment of inertia and length of day. An array of broadband three-component seismometers (SPICeD) spanning Scotland, England and France has been deployed with the aim of studying these dramatic interfaces within the Earth. A secondary aim of the deployment was to install a working prototype for a permanent three-component broadband seismic network in the UK, as advocated by Alan Douglas in the previous issue of this journal (Douglas 2001).

FDM Simulation of an Anomalous Later Phase from the Japan Trench Subduction Zone Earthquakes

We investigated the development of a distinct later phase observed at stations near the Japan Trench associated with shallow, outer-rise earthquakes off the coast of Sanriku, northern Japan based on the analysis of three-component broadband seismograms and FDM simulations of seismic wave propagation using a heterogeneous structural model of the Japan Trench subduction zone. Snapshots of seismic wave propagation obtained through these simulations clearly demonstrate the complicated seismic wavefield constructed by a coupling of the ocean acoustic waves and the Rayleigh waves propagating within seawater and below the sea bottom by multiple reflections associated with shallow subduction zone earthquakes. We demonstrated that the conversion to the Rayleigh wave from the coupled ocean acoustic waves and the Rayleigh wave as they propagate upward along the slope of seafloor near the coast is the primary cause of the arrival of the distinct later phase at the station near the coast. Through a sequence of simulations using different structural models of the Japan Trench subduction zone, we determined that the thick layer of seawater along the trench and the suddenly rising sea bottom onshore of the Japanese island are the major causes of the distinct later phase. The results of the present study indicate that for realistic modeling of seismic wave propagation from the subduction zone earthquakes, a high-resolution bathymetry model is very crucial, although most current simulations do not include a water column in their simulation models.

Portable digital seismometer

We have developed an autonomous portable digital seismometer for measurements in the field, in engineering constructions, and in hard-to-reach places. The seismometer is a monoblock including an SM-6 seismic receiver and digital seismic recorder. The SM-6 seismic receiver is a highly effective device for field work on investigating a microseismic wave field and for use in systems of seismological monitoring. Field tests of these seismic receivers in comparison with well-known SM-3 devices were carried out. The basic part of the seismic recorder is an MSC1213Y5 system-on-chip representing a precision 24-bit ADC coupled with an 8051 compatible microcontroller. Autonomy of the seismometer up to 30 days is provided with data recording into a flash memory chip of 1 Gbyte capacity. Time synchronization of seismic data is provided with the PPS second mark received from a GPS receiver. A preproduction model of the portable digital seismometer was manufactured and tested. As a result of tests, the working capacity of this preproduction model has been confirmed and its basic technical characteristics have been determined.

Analysis of seismic patterns observed at Nevado del Ruiz volcano, Colombia during August – September 1985

The seismic activity of the Nevado del Ruiz volcano was monitored during August–September 1985 using a three-component portable seismograph station placed on the upper part of the volcano. The objective was to investigate the frequency content of the seismic signals and the possible sources of the volcanic tremor. The seismicity showed a wide spectrum of signals, especially at the beginning of September. Some relevant patterns from the collected records, which have been analyzed by spectrum analysis, are presented. For the purpose of analysis, the records have been divided into several categories such as long-period events, tremor, cyclic tremor episodes, and strong seismic activity on September 8, 1985.The origin of the seismic signals must be considered in relation to the dynamical and acoustical properties of fluids and the shape and dimensions of the volcano's conduits.The main results of the present experiment and analysis show that the sources of the seismic signals are within the volcanic edifice. The signal characteristics indicate that the sources lie in fluid-phase interactions rather than in brittle fracturing of solid components.
