Request for Letters of Interest in Handling PBO Borehole Seismic Data

UNAVCO seeks a partner organization to develop, implement, and operate an end-to-end management system for telemetered and manually retrieved data from a 103-station borehole seismic network in the western United States. This work is part of the NSF-funded EarthScope Plate Boundary Observatory project.

Each station comprises a three-component 2-Hz borehole seismometer, a Kinemetrics Q330 data logger, a Linux Baler or Marmot as an external data at a lower rate, while collecting 200 sample/second data on the external buffer for later manual retrieval.

UNAVCO wishes to develop and implement an end-to-end transport, quality checking, and archiving system for these data. This includes retrieval of telemetered data from the remote stations to a central data center in near real-time, distribution of raw data to the community in near-real time, quality checking of raw data, and long-term archiving and distribution of both raw and quality-checked data. It also includes the ability to handle non-telemetered data received at a later time.

We encourage any interested organization to send an e-mail to Greg Anderson, PBO Data Products Manager, at anderson@unavco.org. The e-mail should provide full contact information and indicate your interest. Please send such e-mails by 23 December 2005. If you require additional information, please contact Greg Anderson at anderson@unavco.org or 303-381-7555.
