Strong Motion Information
The Bremerton aftershock of June 27, 1997 triggered 2 of the
installed strong motion sensors. The station at Seattle did
not trigger but the waveforms were recovered from archives
of continuously recorded data.
The peak acceleration values from each station are as
follows (click on each station name to view the accelerogram;
each accelerogram has peak values listed in the upper right):
- 0.0006g,
SEA,
vertical component, University of Washington, Seattle.
(Vertical scale and peak values are too small by a factor of 2).
- 0.0006g,
MPL,
north component, BPA Maple Valley Power Station (added 7/1/97).
(Vertical scale and peak values are too small by a factor of 2).
- 0.0008g,
UPS,
north component, University of Puget Sound, Tacoma.
(Vertical scale and peak values are too small by a factor of 2).
Note that the peak values for this aftershock are
about 10 times smaller than those for the Bremerton
mainshock.
Here is a map
showing the locations of the strong motion instruments.
Here is a
photograph
of the instrument at the University of Puget Sound.
The information presented in this document is preliminary.
It will be modified after additional
analysis of the accelerograms.
