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.

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
