4 DCPP PG&E Central Coast Seismic Network (CCSN)

5 Original analog site DCPP Completed digital upgrade To be upgraded in 2010-2011 New digital site

6 Hosgri. DCPP San Andreas Seismicity recorded by PG&E and the US Geological Survey 1987- July 2010 M6.5 San Simeon

7 Acceleration data from the CCSN network now used in regional ShakeMaps

8 Project is to replace old analog telemetry with digital velocity and acceleration recorders and digital telemetry. Addition of accelerometers provides on-scale recordings of large earthquakes. Increased dynamic range from digital telemetry improves small earthquake recordings, as well. Remote access to station data for status and parameters saves time and money on maintenance. Recorders at stations provide backup if telemetry goes down. CCSN Digital Upgrade 2006-2011
