Rhett Butler,Thome Lay,Kenneth C. Creager,Paul Earl,Karen M. Fischer,James B. Gaherty,Gabi Laske,Bill Leith,Jeffrey Park,Mike Ritzwolle,Jeroen Tromp,Lianxing Wen +11 more
TL;DR: The Global Seismographic Network (GSN) as mentioned in this paper is a permanent network of state-of-the-art seismological and geophysical sensors connected by available telecommunications to serve as a multi-use scientific facility and societal resource for scientific research, environmental monitoring, and education for our national and international community.
Journal ArticleDOI
The July 27, 1976 Tangshan, China earthquake—A complex sequence of intraplate events
TL;DR: In this paper, a detailed analysis of the teleseismic surface waves and body waves is made for the Tangshan event, including strike-slip, thrust, and normal-fault events.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Hawaii-2 Observatory
R.A. Petitt,D.W. Harris,B. Wooding,J. Bailey,James Jolly,E. Hobart,Alan D. Chave,F.K. Duennebier,Rhett Butler,Andrew D. Bowen,Dana R. Yoerger +10 more
TL;DR: The Hawaii-2 Observatory (H2O) as mentioned in this paper was installed on the retired HAW-2 commercial submarine telephone cable in September 1998 and provides two-way digital communication at variable data rates of up to 80 kbit/s using RS-422 protocol.
Journal ArticleDOI
Focal mechanism of the August 1, 1975 Oroville earthquake
Charles A. Langston,Rhett Butler +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the focal parameters for the main shock in the Oroville earthquake series were determined using the techniques of P first motions, wave-form synthesis, and phase identification, and the time separation between the small foreshock and mainshock appears to be 6.5 sec at teleseismic distances, rather than 8.1 sec as observed at short distances.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hawaii-2 observatory pioneers opportunities for remote instrumentation in ocean studies
Rhett Butler,Alan D. Chave,Frederick K. Duennebier,Dana R. Yoerger,R.A. Petitt,D. Harris,F. B. Wooding,Andrew D. Bowen,J. Bailey,J. Jolly,E. Hobart,John A. Hildebrand,A. H. Dodeman +12 more
TL;DR: The first Global Seismographic Network (GSN) station on the seafloor is the Hawaii-2 Observatory (H20) as mentioned in this paper, located in the middle of the ocean between Hawaii and California.
