Location:
Site is located in Jamestown, California. The equipment from JAS was relocated to JAS1 07/03/1984, and then from JAS1 to CMB on 11/06/1986, at which time JAS1 was closed.

JAS1 (and JAS) were part of the USGS Digital World Wide Standard Seismograph Network (DWWSSN), the digital descendant of the WWSSN.

Geology:
Alluvium

Vault/Borehole conditions:
Seismometers were temporarily located in a garage on a concrete floor while looking for a more permanent location. This site was noisy.

Operation Notes: (may not be current)
This section summarizes major changes in equipment or in instrumentation at JAS1.

  • 11/06/1986: Station closed; instruments relocated to CMB.
  • 07/03/1984: Benioff and Teledyne Geotech instruments relocated to JAS1 from JAS.

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.

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.
