Near-surface velocities and attenuation at two boreholes near Anza, California, from logging data

To investigate near-surface site effects in granite rock, we drilled 300-m-deep boreholes at two sites which are collocated with stations from the digital array at Anza, California. The first borehole was sited at station KNW (Keenwild fire station), which is located along a ridge line about 8.7 km east of the San Jacinto Fault zone. Station PFO (Piñon Flat Observatory), chosen for the second site, is another 6 km further to the east of station KNW and is located on a gently sloping hillside. We logged each borehole for P- and S-wave velocities, as well as for crack density and orientation.

Digital seismograms of aftershocks of the Imperial Valley, California, earthquake of October 15, 1979

This report presents the digital seismograms collected for the aftershocksof the Imperial Valley, California earthquake (M L = 6.6) that occurred onL October 15, 1979. A short summary follows that describes the field procedures, instrumentation, and routine computer analysis that was used to produce the ground motion time histories. Boore and Fletcher (1981) may be referenced for selected fault plane solutions, spectra and moments. Requests for digital time histories on magnetic tape may be made to the Branch of Ground Motion and Faulting, Menlo Park, California.
