Cepeda – Cosmos Workshop9 Total of Strong Motion Records: % from analogue instruments (Montana and SMA-1). 88% from digital instruments (SSA-2, Etna, K2 and QDR). Important earthquakes recorded: 19/Jun/1982 (M S 7.3 subduction) – 1 record. 10/Oct/1986 (M S 5.4 shallow upper crustal) – 6 records. 13/Jan/2001 (M S 7.8 subduction) – 26 records. 13/Feb/2001 (M S 6.5 shallow upper crustal) – 21 records. Largest PGA recorded: 1.1 g (13/Jan/2001, 61 km rupture distance). 2. Networks in El Salvador

Universidad Centroamericana (UCA) - El Salvador Automated Processing of Earthquake Swarm Records… J. Cepeda – Cosmos Workshop12 Purpose Routine for the preliminary batch processing of swarm earthquake records. Cut large pre-event portions. Extract traces of multiple events contained in a single record. 4. Procedure for swarm records

Universidad Centroamericana (UCA) - El Salvador Automated Processing of Earthquake Swarm Records… J. Cepeda – Cosmos Workshop13 General procedure 1) SSA or EVT file  ASCII file. 2) Select vertical component. 3) Obtain ‘smoothed’ envelope of record and amplitude of envelope. 4) Obtain ‘crests’ in amplitude of envelope. 5) Obtain ‘valleys’ and ‘plains’ in amplitude of envelope. 6) Find values of time for lowest ‘valleys’ and ‘plains’ preceding ‘crests’. 7) Values of time in step (6) are cutting points. 4. Procedure for swarm records

Universidad Centroamericana (UCA) - El Salvador Automated Processing of Earthquake Swarm Records… J. Cepeda – Cosmos Workshop14 Calculation of trace envelope 1) Baseline correction (mean of record). 2) Obtain First and second derivative of record. 3) Identify flat portions (1st derivative is zero), local peaks (change of sign in 1st derivative) and identify maximum and minimum (sign of 2nd derivative). 4. Procedure for swarm records

Universidad Centroamericana (UCA) - El Salvador Automated Processing of Earthquake Swarm Records… J. Cepeda – Cosmos Workshop15 Calculation of trace envelope 4)Create vectors of maximum and minimum values. 5) ‘Smoothing’ of envelope: divide record in segments of width ‘deltat’ and select peaks of vectors in (4) within each segment. 6) Interpolate envelope to a fixed and uniform time step. 7) Calculate amplitude of envelope. 4.
