  1. II GSN CalibrationProceduresNovember 16, 2011Peter DavisProject IDAScripps Institution of OceanographyUniversity of California, San Diego

  2. Review timing and waveform quality:

  3. sample rate correction

  4. Sensor failure:

  5. loss of vacuum

  6. Getting the metadata right…

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

  8. DC Calibration Test

  9. Convolve model of sensor response with input • Compare observed output with model • Iterate until fit acceptable

  10. What these tests measure: • 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%

  11. What these tests measure: • 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

  13. Portable sensors used to check sensitivity of permanent sensors:

  14. What this test measures: • 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

  15. Why use tides? • 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

  16. What comparing co-located broadband sensors measures: • Accurate determination of relative response of the common instruments • Accurate determination of relative orientation

  17. Select data from common time period:

  18. Correct for modeled response:
