Quake Watch 2012

Thanks PuterMan.

I agree with you that they look/sound electrical. I hope they can get it fixed this spring. It's the only station near that volcano.
Anyone else having issues with GEE servers?

Clearly I'm out of my league in discussing instruments and telemetry; fortunately I have nearby people to ask. Interesting discussions.

There another little tremor episode developing in Cascadia under the northern Olympic Range - pnsn.org...

That's a nice tight cluster. I hope it does not spur an earthquake during your presentation. I look forward to viewing the video, when it's uploaded.

I was just exploring the USGS Pacific Northwest GPS Velocities page. Near the Olympics, there is a strong NE push, but near the southern end of the zone, it is much smaller. Why is that?
Does the Pacific Plate/locked portion of the CSZ exert more "push" in the north, and less in the south (southern OR/ northern CA area)?

The GPS at Husband in the Sisters is still on the move! I also noticed 2 anomalous velocities near Mt. Rainier.

P.S. I got GEE back up, but I can't get any extra-short-period stations to load. I emailed SC. I hope it is just a minor glitch. I so lurve that program.

I wish I had time to peruse all that data - my day is blocked out in meeting after meeting. You might google block rotation models for the Pacific Northwest by Ray Wells or Rob McCaffrey to see how they explain the GPS vectors.

here you are
Five x 5.6's Interactive Map with Plate Boundries.
Sorry about the thick lines and big i's, the Plate Boundries are from USGS and the file doesn't convert very well to Google Maps

here is what it looks like



the numbers are oldest to youngest time wise ( the reverse of my list on the other reply)

Did you get the new version installed? Uses different servers.

I think GEE only hav available data as per the _REALTIME network. I won't give the link because it is a massive page but if you are interested you can look up the IRIS site virtual network list. Scroll down to _REALTIME. (PS wait until the page has loaded and it will jump to the virtual networks section)

If a station is on that list you should be able to get it in GEE, and not if it is not BUT there are some errors and omissions and the list is dynamic. It changes. It took 11 seconds to load on my PC.

Mm, Stations for _REALTIME virtual network to (2378 stations). Last time I updated the QVSData program that was around 2048.

All of the stations can be loaded into QVSData and the program can update the list as well. Off to do that now!!

(PPS The current version of the program does not do it so well.)

I haven't looked at the IRIS link you posted yet, but I did receive a response from a nice fellow from South Carolina. He said the extremely short period stations not loading was a bug in the new download. He fixed it on their end, and said it will be fixed in the next release. (I hope it won't be too long of a wait)

Thank you for doing that for me muzzy, makes more 'sense' to me now


Hope it didn't take up too much of your time..you are a love, thank you.

Weird vivid dream last night...saw a map of South America with a big red dot on coast between Peru & Chile.

Guess this is what happens when you watch too many 'live' earthquake map sites!

Still no 7's since I mentioned a week or so ago, that I felt things were quietening down since the busy few days around the 11th, and that I expected things would pick-up around the 14th to 16th of May.

Be good to go two for two.

SHHH. Be vwery,vwery quiet. The earth is sleeping. It must be hungover from all those Earth Day festivities.
There were a couple near Darwin's Islands, the Galapagos. . (The other Darwin has a theory on the moon. At least he's closer to the truth than those collision guys.) I thought it was interesting considering the other quakes near Central America, along with the volcanoes. But the couplet was along fault and not under island. So.. I don't know.

Puterman, is there a tiny little quake on this chart?

folkworm.ceri.memphis.edu...

I don't know.

Arkansas almost seemed to be looking kinda like something may or may not be sorta becoming slightly active.
I don't know.

thats OK, gave me a chance to see what the USGS Plate Boundries kml file looked like on Google Maps , I hadn't tried that before.
GM is weird, my icons come out the same size on GMaps no matter what scale I set them to on Google Earth when I'm creating the file, which is OK, but so do the thick lines of the Plate Boundries
Geofon lists aren't so easy to create maps from, I have to convert their Lat/Long from NSWE to decimal + or -, I need a n Excel formula to convert those.

A map every now and again keeps it real

I am sooo glad there are a few good folk around here who know how and what they are doing when it comes to maps, graphs, charts.....because I didn't understand a woooord of what you explained there!



I'm glad it was an interesting exercise for you
My poor laptop contracted the "Blue Screen of Death" as my 14 yr old called it, last Sunday. Had to do a complete recovery so I've lost a few photos...but meh...the first place I searched for to get back in my fav's was this place!

Given the recent beached dolphins, and the most recent quake activity right in the same area, I feel like that area off the coast of Peru is going to explode.....I really hope I am just ATSin".

Nevermind. All normal.

I am having exactly the same problem in Google Earth. I think they have changed something.

Not sure how to get round it yet. I did note however that it seemed to be when I swapped over to using dropbox as the source. When the icons were included in the KMZ they seemed to be OK.

Yup sure is. Either that or you are a profit prophylactic prophet Did it look like this?

(Note: In view of your recent utterings and their effect on the fabric of space time I think more tar and feathers are required to silence you just in case it happens)

NOTE: THIS IS NOT REAL

PS: and yes the latitude and longitude are wrong on purpose

By the way, there IS a school of thought that says just exactly this will happen as is way over due IN THIS AREA so I most sincerely hope you are wrong.

tiny little quake

Looks bigger on this one: ACSO.US.00.BHZ.2012.117

Interesting larger vertical component. Must be tunnelling!!

I will have a listen in a while.

Can I say JESUS!!!???

By Christ that's really SPOOKY!

That's as near to exactly what I saw.

Like you, I hope I am wrong too...
