High-resolution seismic data acquired at two seismic recording stations (BK.LIND and BK.KARE) in San Joaquin Valley, California

Description

In November of 2021, the U.S. Geological Survey acquired high-resolution P- and S-wave seismic data at two seismic recording stations in Tulare and Fresno counties, California: Berkeley Digital Seismic Network BK.LIND and BK.KARE. We deployed 60 DTCC SmartSolo 3-component nodal seismometers (“nodes”) at 2-m intervals along a linear array at each seismic recording station. The nodes recorded seismic data continuously at a 0.5-ms sampling interval, and shot timing was recorded by GPS event capture hardware to precisely determine the shot times. We generated active-source P-waves by vertically striking a steel plate with a 3.5-kg sledgehammer, and active-source S-waves by horizontally striking an aluminum block with a 3.5-kg sledgehammer. The active-sources were generated at about 1-m offset from the nodes along the arrays.
