Earthquake Catalog/Station LogOptions…
Advantages…
Good science practice Record of station information Archive of event data
Earthquake Catalog/Station LogInformation…
Station Log…
Earthquake Catalog…
Record “state of health” information for your seismograph
Note dates and times of calibrations, change of location, new software, time synchronization, noise characteristics, earthquakes recorded
Record earthquake information for all (well recorded) seismograms – event origin time, location, magnitude, epicenter-to-station distance, etc.
Examples…Station log… (hand written notes) Date and Time (GMT) Comment
2006 9/1 16:25 AS-1 set up and operating, clock synch. 2006 9/4 ~10:14 EQ from Japan 2006 9/16 ~04:45 EQ M6.5 Gulf of CA 2006 9/18 20:52 Calibration pulse recorded 2006 9/20 12:25 Install new version of AmaSeis 2006 9/22 09:03 EQ M7.2 Sumatra (good surf. waves) 2006 9/28 20:33 Restart computer, clock synch. 2006 9/20 ~07:42 EQ Rat Islands, Aleutians . . . . . . 2007 5/27 10:51 Turn off AS-1 and computer for summer

Revised to YYMMDD Format
Suggestions… Record at least minimum information, hand written Focus on well-recorded events (don’t worry about
every “wiggle” or weak, distant EQs – unless you just want to see where it came from)
Synchronize clock every few days or use Internet time synch.
Get an “Atomic Clock”, set to GMT time
Create a seismogram archive for your station
Send you best seismograms to SpiNet and download some seismograms for comparison
