Palo Duro seismographic network operation for July to December 1985: Report No. 4, Revision 1

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:7179578
A seismographic network operates in the Texas Panhandle to monitor earthquake activity in the area. This report describes the network and its operation, as well as analysis of data obtained during the period of July 1 to December 31, 1985. The network continued to operate satisfactorily during this period. The Mansfield Station continued to detect a number of very small earthquakes occurring near the station, but it was not possible to locate them since no other station detected them. All elements of the seismographic network were tested and checked in August and December, as part of the Stone and Webster Engineering Corporation quarterly maintenance program. The seismographic network now consist of 16 seismic stations, 4 relay stations, and 1 Central Recording Station. Equipment at two stations was severely damaged from flooding, and the two stations were inoperative for some time. No valuable data loss occurred during this time. 11 refs., 8 figs., 9 tabs.
