3. Digital World Wide Standardized Seismograph System - DWWSSN: [ DW ]

DATES OF OPERATION:    05 Aug 1981 to 17 Jan 1994.      

SEISMOMETER TYPE:
Benioff short-period vertical seismometer, Geotech Model 1051 for SHZ data.
Sprengnether long-period seismometers (one vertical Model S-5007-V previously
Model 201 and two horizontal Model S-5007-H previously Model 100) which are
used for both long-period and mid-period data.

DIGITAL FORMAT:
16 bit integer data words for all components.  Range: +32,767 to -32,768 counts.

EVENT DETECTOR ALGORITHM:  
The event detector used for the SHZ channel was developed at the ASL and was 
not documented.  The mid-period channels are detected on a straight forward   
amplitude basis.
