USArray • National Science Foundation Initiative: • Transportable Array (400 broadband stations)
USArray • Reference Network (116 broadband stations)
USArray • Flexible Array (2400-instrument pool for short-term targeted experiments)
USArray Data • Transportable Array and Reference Network data receive QA:
USArray Quality Assurance • Report problems that can be fixed • Document problems that cannot be fixed • Provide information so that others can characterize data quality
USArray Quality Assurance • Spotting problems: • Automated Metrics • Synthetics: events and earth tides • Three analysts review: • waveforms • metadata • metrics & synthetics
Automated Metrics • QUACK • Power Spectral Density (PSD) tools • hardware problems • instrument response issues • noise characterization
Automated Metrics • Station Ranking (PSD weekly modes) • pinpoints anomalous stations
Synthetics 2011/10/28 Central Peru, Mw=6.9 Earth tides • hardware problems • instrument response issues • phase, orientation errors
USArray Quality Assurance • Reporting: • Reports and emails to network operators • Data Problem Reports • Performance Metrics • Station histories
