Steinar -

This was a deep focus event  (487.5 km) and the wave pattern is  
different that what you see with shallow events.  In this case some of  
the body wave phases are more pronounced and the surface waves are  
diminished.  For comparison, I would suggest that you download this  
event through the Wilber II option on the IRIS web site at:

http://www.iris.edu/dms/wilber.htm

There is a station near Oslo, Norway that has good data you could use  
for comparative analysis.  The station is part of the IU network  
(Global Seismic Network).  The station name is KONO, and its location  
is Kongsberg, Norway at 59.65 N and 9.60 E.  You can see a strong  
signal for the P wave on all three channels.

Bob McClure has written a small program that converts SAC files to PSN  
files which can be downloaded at:

Once you convert them to PSN format, you can edit the files to make  
them the same size and with the same starting times, after which you  
can put them into three file datasets.  By opening a second window on  
WinQuake, you can conduct detailed comparative analysis between you  
recordings and those of station KONO..

Good Luck
