Getting the metadata right…

Page 10: Review timing and waveform quality:

Traditional calibration procedures verified the DAS sensitivity and measured shape of system response.

DC Calibration Test

Convolve model of sensor response with input

Compare observed output with model

Iterate until fit acceptable

Page 14: Review timing and waveform quality:

Random binary test determines shape of response curve within 1%

Step input to digitizer determines sensitivity to > 0.1%

Manufacturer provides value of sensor generator constant to within 1%

What these tests measure:

Page 15: Review timing and waveform quality:

Random binary test determines shape of response curve within 1%

Pitfall – capturing the input signal, test only ‘snapshot’

Step input to digitizer determines sensitivity to > 0.1%

Pitfall – compensate for system load

Manufacturer provides value of sensor generator constant to within 1%

Pitfall – not verified

What these tests measure:

Sumatra-Andaman earthquake excited many low frequency normal modes

Portable sensors used to check sensitivity of permanent sensors:

Page 19: Review timing and waveform quality:

Relative performance of GSN as a network Pitfall – no measure of absolute sensitivity Pitfall – accuracy limited by mode coupling Pitfall – need a very large earthquake to excite the

mode to observable amplitude

What this test measures:

Page 21: Review timing and waveform quality:

Tides are a continuous, constant signal Tidal amplitudes can be predicted to 1% accuracy

globally Tides are observed at all times at most GSN

stations Pitfall – must include effects of ocean

loading Pitfall – horizontal sensors effected too

strongly by local tilts Pitfall – tidal periods outside band of seismic

interest

Why use tides?
