NodalSeismic Carson M2.5 EQ-4

On May 13, 2011 @ 9:19 P.M. local time, a magnitude 2.5 earthquake ocurred about 6 miles below the city of Carson, CA. This earthquake was recorded on a nearby high density seismic array in Long Beach, CA. The following time lapse movie shows the resulting ground motion as it moves across the Long Beach seismic array consisting of 5,300 stations nominally spaced about 330 feet apart.

Yes, these sensors are vertical component. When do you want them in Seattle?

There is a very accurate time break - the nodes are synchronized with GPS to about 25 microseconds.

Prof. Vidale,

Check out my channel for the FK analysis of these records ...

See you in AGU =)

One of the cool things about this video is that you can see the interference caused by the Newport-Inglewood fault which runs generally from the upper left corner to the lower right corner of the image

Too bad you couldnt get a time break on the quake

My dad, who is a geologist, directed me to this link. I can't help but think that this is the coolest thing! Oh, the nerdiness.

Wow! Are these all vertical components? And can we 10,000 of those in Seattle?
