Preliminary Analysis of the Queen Creek, Arizona (QCAZ) Strain System Including Comparison with the TFO Long-Period Array

Abstract

For seven earthquakes a comparison is made between the TFO long- period horizontal array and the sum of the horizontal strain and pendulum instruments at QCAZ. The performance of both systems was severely limited by noise of non-seismic origin. Within these limits the performance of the two systems is about equal. This report is preliminary in the sense that the installation of instruments at QCAZ was not complete at the time data was obtained. A lower level of non-seismic noise is to be expected when installation is complete.
