Hola Angel-
I forgot about the array you ran for so long in Panama-  That was a Thin=
g of Beauty!

BC-Array:
Using state of the art digital recorders: Sigmas
SR=3D4ms, T=3D60s, with GPS, battery powered  http://www.i-seis.com/inde=
x.html; =

 =

Vertical and horizontal, 1 Hz, Geophones are used to detect microseismic=
 activity:  http://www.csicablesupplies.com/PS-1.html

Visit sites weekly, to Collect data, and to replace batteries.
Close to my home in Boulder City (BC), near the Dam, and Lake Mead.
Array is in a random siting now, but plan on putting out a liner array o=
f 32 sites spaced at ~200m, to use surface waves to determine Vs & Vp pr=
ofiles to a depth ~3-6 km.

Would like something simple for EQ Locations to start. =

Hi Jim,

Happy New Year.

I have a few questions:

Do each of the stations have good GPS timing?
What is the sample rate?
Are you digitizing on site or transferring data to a central site with s=
ome analog scheme?
What is the protocol the digitizers use?
Do you plan to user array proceeding (fk) or just plain jane locations?

A fuller description of the system would help.

I wish I had my own array :)

Saludos,

Angel

Prefer program to be Windows OS, but will consider other systems too.
