NGA data released on November 2003 Accomplishments since November 2003 Schedule for the 2nd release
Data Released (11/15/2003) 172 earthquakes ~ 1600 strong-motion stations Information of earthquakes and stations (metadata) (compiled by PE&A) MasterEQ_V009 (include finite fault models for 62 earthquakes) SourceScaling_ALL_V008 NGA_Site_V015 101503.cat (catalog of recordings) Three are listed in EQ_Master, but ground-motion parameters were not collected yet. These earthquakes are:

II. Accomplishments Since November 2003
Reviews of Source-Path Metadata PI: URS (Nancy Collins/Paul Somerville) Progress (February 19, 2004) Check calculations of distances Completed; and they are computed correctly Check calculations of directivity parameters In progress Review finite fault models used for calculations of distances and directivity parameters
Reviews of Source-Path Metadata Source-path metadata: URS (Nancy Collins/Paul Somerville) (continued) Review earthquake magnitude and uncertainty Check the component orientation and other station data In progress
Reviews of Site Metadata PI: Donald Wells, Geomatrix Check, for each station, Station instrument setting classifications Consistency between different site classifications Update/Add site metadata Data from Stewart/Yoojoong Alaska stations data Active Link to CISN Station Data web page (CISN EDC) for most CSMIP stations
Evaluations of Ground-Motion Parameters PI: Walt Silva/Bob Darragh/Nick Gregor (PE&A) PEER-COSMOS joint working group meeting (March 17, 2004) Meeting summary: next presentation
Recent Work on Source-Path Metadata Shallow vs. deep asperity event Completed (Paul Somerville, URS) For 18 earthquakes Data for the isochrone-directivity model proposed by Spudich In progress (PEER-LL) Closest distance to the seismogenic portion of the rupture (as defined by Campbell)
Recent Work on Source-Path Metadata Slip rate of causative fault Completed (by USGS/Golden) For 21 California earthquakes Slip rate used in seismic hazard mapping project
Recent Work on Metadata Basin depth information N. Cal (USGS, Menlo Park) In progress Imperial Valley and Mendocino Completed (Rob Graves, URS) Shallow depth information (Bray’s definition) Completed (Kevin Cohen, CGS)
Recent Work on Site Metadata Vs30 California Strong Motion Sites From SASW measurements at 60 sites (Rob Kayen, USGS) Taiwan (ChiChi and aftershocks) From SASW measurements at 38 Sites 26 sites by Prof. Stokoe, UT; 10 sites by Prof. Ni, NCKU, Taiwan From P-S loggings at ~ 110 Sites (NCREE; Vs30 computed by Bob Nigbor, USC) More 2002 drilling results
Recent Work on Site Metadata Alaska (Denali earthquake) Donald Wells (Geomatrix)
Recent Development of Ground Motion Parameters Strike-normal, strike-parallel, and vertical components In progress Usable bandwidth for spectral accelerations PEER Data provider (CGS/USGS) PGA, PGV & PGD from data provider Uncorrected (Vol. 1) & corrected (Vol. 2) PGA (CGS/USGS) Errata (PE&A)
