LONG-PERIOD SEISMOGRAPH INSTALLATION LA PAZ, BOLIVIA.

Abstract

The long-period seismograph installation at La Paz, Bolivia (LZ-BV), was improved by methods previously untried within the LRSM program. Radical departures in vault construction made it possible to increase the magnification of the three-component long-period seismograph system from a nominal 20k to above 200k. As a result, a better understanding of some problems and their remedies was gained which will be extremely helpful in the operation and maintenance of other long-period seismographs. (Author)
