Location:
Site is located on BLM land on Hull Mountain, Oregon.

HUMO is a cooperative station with the Advanced National Seismic System and the Global Seismic Network.

Geology:
Payne Cliffs formation - sandstone and siltstone

Vault/Borehole conditions:
The equipment is located in a side adit of a hard-rock mine approximately 100 meters from the entrance. Overburden is approximately 50 meters. The sensors are located on a concrete pier covered with 4" of rigid foam insulation.

The datalogger, dial-up modem, and fiber optic modems are located in a plastic garden shed about 8 meters from the pier. Batteries are located in a large plastic storage box next to the shed. The tunnel entrance is covered with a hinged steel grate to allow free passage of bats. Humidity is 100% outside the enclosures. Telemetry is through 300 meters of fiber optic cable connected to a satellite system.

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.
