INSTALLATION OF A 10-ELEMENT SHALLOW-BURIED ARRAY AT THE UINTA BASIN SEISMOLOGICAL OBSERVATORY, VERNAL, UTAH

Abstract

Previous studies indicated that the effect of wind-generated noise on an array of seismometers is significantly reduced if the individual elements of the array are buried to a depth of approximately 200 feet. This report outlines, in some detail, the installation of a buried array at the Uinta Basin Seismological Observatory. Major considerations in such an undertaking included the selection of the most effective array pattern and the most suitable instrumentation to be used. In addition, the drilling, logging, and casing of the holes is outlined, and a brief section on the local geology is included. This report does not attempt to evaluate the effectiveness of the shallow-buried array, but merely documents the procedures and considerations utilized in the installation of a shallow-buried array.
