Location:
HOPS is located at the Hopland Research and Extension Center of the University of California Agriculture and Natural Resources unit.

Geology:
Franciscan Formation

Vault/Borehole conditions:
The instruments are located in a steel and concrete vault benched into a hillside with 2 meters of soil overburden. The vault is oriented north/south to minimize the effects of solar heating. The concrete pier is covered with 4" of insulation on the sides and 8" of insulation on the top. The datalogger and supporting equipment are in an adjacent room.

Data Availability:
BDSN waveforms and associated metadata are available at the Northern California Earthquake Data Center (NCEDC).

Several tools provide access to SEED format data at the NCEDC, both in terms of querying the archives and allowing data requests.

Help on using these tools is available.
