Data Report for the 1988 Ontario-New York-New England Seismic Refraction Experiment: Small-Aperture Array

Abstract

During September 1988, a major crustal refraction and wide-angle reflection survey transecting New England, New York and continuing into Ontario, Canada was conducted. This experiment, the Ontario-New York-New England Seismic Refraction Experiment, was conducted jointly between the Geophysics Laboratory (GL), the US Geologic Survey (USGS), and the Geological Survey of Canada (GSC). The purpose of this program was to better understand the geologic structure and wave propagation characteristics across the northern Appalachians of New England and into the Grenville province to the west. Data collection along the main transect was largely carried out by field teams from the USGS and the GSC. In addition, GL conducted two field programs during the experiment. The main effort was the operation of a series of three-component seismic refraction lines across upstate New York and Vermont. A small-aperture array near North Haverhill, New Hampshire was also operated. This report provides technical background on the data collected by that array.
