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

DATES OF OPERATION:    06 Jan 1982 to 04 Feb 1987 

SEISMOMETER TYPE:
Benioff short-period vertical seismometer.  Geotech Model 1051 for SHZ data. 
Sprengnether long period seismometers (one vertical Model S-5007-V and two 
horizontal Model S-5007-H) 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 ALGORITHIM:  
The event detector used for the SHZ channel was developed by G. Holcomb at the
ASL and is not documented.  The mid-period channels are detected on a straight 
forward amplitude basis.
