Network:

BK (Berkeley Digital Seismic Network)

Operation Notes: (may not be current)

This section summarizes major changes in equipment or in instrumentation at SUTB.

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.
