Location:
OXMT is located on Ox Mountain, near Half Moon Bay. The site was installed under the auspices of BFI Peninsula. This site is known as SFOXM in the USGS Low Frequency Network.

Geology:
TBD

Vault/Borehole conditions:
The MiniPBO borehole was installed on 02/06/2002. The strainmeter was installed at 662.7 ft and the seismometer package at 637.3 ft depth. This figure shows the location of equipment in the borehole.

As a Mini-PBO site, OXMT is also home to a continuously operating GPS receiver (OXMT) as part of the BARD network.

Network:
BK,UL (Mini PBO Network and USGS Low Frequency Network)

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

Noise Characteristics:
No noise information for OXMT is available at this time.

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.
