Closed this issue · 2 comments

MWZ strong motion vs BB station instrumentations shows discrepancies over a few periods

events as 2020p578726 or 2020p332789 are not relevant for comparison

  • List of events of interest
    Enquire on 2020p480708 M4.9 (June 26) M5 2020p877108 (November 20) "~Close and M>5 "

  • Isolate if new issue arises and confirmed - andf Check over time and events

  • Some discrepancies in the PGA measures BB Vs SM

  • Close Events are deep - PGA are relatively small

  • Pretty Similar PGV and PSA values whether broadband ot Strong motion derived.

MWZ_2020p877108

  • Z components are very similar PSA

  • Horizontal components are different above ~4Hz
    "Noise" contribution ?

  • - Propose solution / fix /Actions
    Site effect on the horizontal ? Components slightl;y off between both instruments in 2020 ?
    Close and relevant Events took for this station are often deep (so mostly above ~~vertical location)
    Would need to enquire about shallow local and M>4.5 events. if any issues arises clearly

  • - Document

I don't reckon there is a critical or major issue. - to my "quick" check up
can be complemented by others ...


FYI @SquirrelKnight @elidana @mnaguit

2020p480708 June looks legit
