After looking at Niles Canyon data I went back and looked at my HS10
geophones records (ATZ, ATE and ATN) and relaized that they had recorded
the P wave to S arrival some 8,019km from Aptos, CA to Japan. In 21
years of operation I cannot recall ever seeing them record any events
past 1,000 miles before. I posted the data to Larry's site. Regards,

Hi Steve,

  I looked at it, but I need to know more about its spectral response
before I can properly inverse filter it.

Hi Bob, Did you happen to see this in the Larry's Redwood City PSN
datasets? If I remember correctly, Niles Canyon is local near Larry's
Redwood City location and is a USGS geophone up in the hills. The data
is impressive.  Regards, Steve Hammond PSN San Jose, Aptos CA.

  I use inverse filtering to restore long-period response to my medium
period sensors. On major events, even geophones can be transformed into
long-period sensors.

  For example, I downloaded the following files:

110311.054500.sobe.psn
  Mw8.9
8750km from Sonderborg, Denmark, Near East Coast of Eastern Honshu,
Japan (GIF Image)
 
110311.054500.sobn.psn
  Mw8.9
8750km from Sonderborg, Denmark, Near East Coast of Eastern Honshu,
Japan (GIF Image)
 
110311.054500.sobz.psn
  Mw8.9
8750km from Sonderborg, Denmark, Near East Coast of Eastern Honshu,
Japan (GIF Image)
 

  I inverse filtered from the original period of 0.22 seconds to 20
seconds and posted the following volume file:

110311.055500.sobx.psn
  * M8.9
8750km from Sonderborg, Denmark [Inverse Filtered], Near East Coast of
Eastern Honshu, Japan (GIF Image)
 

which can be looked at or downloaded from
http://www.seismicnet.com/cgi-dos/event.exe

  If you integrate the data, you get peak displacements in the 3 to 4 mm
range, which seems about right.

  My inverse filter utility program, WQFilter.exe, can be downloaded
