Location:
Site is located on Ramage Ranch, private property in the Central California Coast Ranges north of San Luis Obispo, CA.

This station was installed in June 2004 by USArray personnel as a collaboration with the Berkeley Seismological Laboratory, and was part of the USArray component of the Earthscope program. When the Travelling Array left California in 2007, the BSL adopted this station. It has been operating as a BDSN station since September 2007.

Geology:

Vault/Borehole conditions:
The RAMR installation is based on the USArray vault design.

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.
