Frequency response of the USGS short period telemetered seismic system and its suitability for network studies of local earthquakes
Jerry P. Eaton
1977, Open-File Report 77-844
The USGS telemetered seismic system was intended primarily to record small to moderate earthquakes (magnitude 0 to 4) at distances of a few km to several hundred km. Its frequency response is such that the recorded background noise at a moderately quite Coast Range site has a relatively flat 'record'...
