  1.

  2. PSD Probability Density Function for ISCO BHZ Individual histograms for each period are converted to PDFs by normalizing each power bin by total number of observations. Total distribution of powers plotted. Not simply minimum powers.

  3. Method: Power Spectral Density Probability Density Functions Raw waveforms continuously extracted from waveserver In 1 hour segments, overlapping by 50%. PSD pre-processing: trend and mean removal 10% cos taper applied No screening for earthquakes, or transients and instrumental glitches such as data gaps, clipping, spikes, mass re-centers or calibration pulses PSD calculated for each 1 hour segment With ASL algorithm for direct comparison to NLNM. PSD is smoothed by averaging powers over full octaves in 1/8 octave intervals. Points reduced from 16,385 to 93. Center points of octave averages shown.

  4. Power Frequency Distribution Histograms • PSDs are accumulated in 1dB power bins • from -200 to -50dB. • Distributions are generated for each period • in 1/8 octave period intervals. • Histograms vary significantly by period. • 1s has strong peak and a narrow range of powers. • bimodal distributions at 10, 100s • All have sharp low-power floor with • higher power tails • Next step: • Convert histograms to • Probability Density Functions

  5. Artifacts in the Noise Field HLID - automobile traffic along a dirt road only 20 meters from station HLID creates a 20-30dB increase in power at about 0.1 sec period (10Hz). This type of cultural noise is observable in the PDFs as a region of low probability at high frequencies (1-10Hz, 0.1-1s). Body waves occur as low probabily signal in the 1sec range while surface waves are generally higher power at longer periods. Automatic mass re-centering and calibration pulses show up as low probability occurrences in the PDF.

  10. Regional Network Simulation 6 stations from NM regional network with well established noise baselines. Detection threshold lowered in New Madrid region by 0.1-0.3 units with addition of NM network. Regional Station Limitations: - high noise in Cultural noise band (1-10Hz) - PVMO instrumented with Guralp CMG-3esp seismometer (50Hz) and Quanterra Q-380 digitizer at 20sps. Power rolloff at Nyquist~10Hz. Mw PVMO

  11. Detection Maps Used for Prioritization of Maintenance Issues Backbone Stations on Satellite GR4 ANSS backbone distributed over 2 satellites to protect against total network outage. Simulations demonstrate detection in the event of a satellite failure. Maintenance decisions could be made based on real-time changes in detection thresholds. GR4 expected to die within 3 years.
