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):

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.
