- Location:
-
HOPS is located at the Hopland
Research and Extension Center of the
University of California Agriculture
and Natural Resources unit, under the auspices of
UC Davis.
- 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.

- 04/29/1997: Replaced EW STS-1, due to gain problem identified 04/22/1997. Installed barometer/thermometer package.
- 01/23/1997: Q980 software upgraded to newest version of USHEAR, TCP/IP data acquisition initiated.
- 12/18/1995: Replaced Q980 datalogger. Replaced GOES clock with Quanterra GPS clock. Installed frame-relay communication.
- 08/30/1995: Installed GPS monument and Ashtech receiver
- 10/20/1994: A Streckeisen STS-1 and a Kinemetrics FBA-23 were installed with a Quanterra Q980 Datalogger.
- Noise Characteristics:
-
The figures below are cumulative plots of power spectral density (psd)
determined from the broadband channels. In each figure, the vertical
component psd is plotted with blue diamonds, the north component
psd with red squares, and the east component psd with green circles.
The results are presented in the 5 different frequency bands, and
the USGS/Albuquerque low noise model is plotted as a dashed line in each.
The PSD units are in dB (decibel) relative to 1 (m/s**2)**2/Hz. The current
annual plot is updated weekly.

Several tools provide access to SEED format data at the NCEDC, both in terms of querying the archives and allowing data requests.- Querying the archives
- Requesting data by channel and time
- Requesting data by event
Help on using these tools is available.
