That is a lot of red on the map at the same time, eh?

I bet a lot of people in Guatemala City felt that one there, even though with its depth, hopefully not too strongly.

49 felt reports on it, 9 were MM4

of course thats just those that have a computer, and those that bother to report it to usgs, probably way more actually felt it

You lost me there, too many siesmos

I'm used to looking at the LISC ones, I find they are clearer (easier to read)

That was my whole point !!!!!! The ones I put up ARE THE SAME PLOTS.

Look at KIEV. Location 00 Channel LHZ. That was what I showed.

Look at KIEV for the 18th - same channel, smae location, same machine, DIFFERENT plot. KIEV.IU.00.LHZ.2010.230 (Untidy and formless)

They are NOT showing the same data on the LISS and IRIS Bud, yet these are the identical datasets supposedly as the machine is the same.

I shall have to see if I can get a wave file of it from Vase.

Oh OK then, I seen that and thought what the heck is that?

Didn't feel it though.

EDIT TO ADD: I have been following webicorder closely since it seems to show the tremors the best. I just looked at it and it's going crazy! Check it out: HERE

In the "Sound Files" folder of my qvs data share are three files UW_HDW _EHZ_20100818-105958_8000Hz.wav, _4000Hz.wav and _2000Hz.wav.

As you can see from the name these are sounds from the HDW seismo on the 18th starting at 11:00 UTC and covering about 6 hours I think. All the files are the same size (about 5.6 Mb) Depending on which file you are listening to @1:17 (2000 = 20x) or @2:33 (4000 = 40x) or @ 5:19 (8000 = 80x) there is a very strange noise.

Since you were getting all excited about this recorder on the 16th I have also got the full 24hrs of date for the 16th UTC times. I am not going to process it tonight as it is big and may strain ma puter and anyway it is 04:45 so I am going to talk to the fairies!

Enjoy!

Edit: OK, I did it. The full day files are going up to the site as I write. Now it is past 5am and I AM off to the land of nod. There are 8000Hz, 4000Hz, 2000Hz, 1000Hz and 500Hz versions and each is over 16 MB.

your right

I just made the name up, don't know where I got it from, could be that t-shirt company in Petone, I might have seen their signs when driving by and stored the word away at the back of the old brain.

I won't put my house co-ords on, but the local village pub is at -40.918704, 174.981212

Whats going on at Applegate Lake?

I was just looking at westcoasts link to the Cascadia map showing the tremors there and seen the swarm down at the Oregon/Ca border, SW of Applegate Lake. Not sure what the area where the quakes are at is called
NW of Yreka.
www.pnsn.org...
104 tremors when I looked.

There are no magnitudes off the map and I had a look at CalNev site they show nothing

Looks like Kyrgyzstan probably felt it at only 10km depth.

Rogue River National Forest? That's what the map says anyway

I'm not sure what's going on there - yet . It's does not appear to be one of the Volcanoes

AUI (area under investigation) Rogue River National Forest

The forest itself is composed of two distinct geological provinces: The Cascade Range and the Siskiyou Mountains. The Cascade Range is dominated by snow capped volcanic peaks such as 9,495 foot Mt. McLoughlin located within the Sky Lakes Wilderness on the High Cascades Ranger District. The Siskiyou area embodies the most complex soils, geology, landscape, and plant communities in the Pacific Northwest.

[edit on 20-8-2010 by Anmarie96]

Klamath-Siskiyou Region

"Complex Natural History
Amongst a tangle of sharp-edged mountains and salmon-strewn rivers, geologists often refer to the ancient KS mountains as, "The Klamath Knot." For all its great antiquity, the KS has never been subject to volcanism and glaciation like the neighboring Cascade and Sierra Mountains. Rather the KS is a result of rocks under heat and pressure folding through time."

Would the above then account for the Tremor.

cheers anmarie

I can't see any volcanoes on the map anywhere near, can't even find that 9,495 foot Mt. McLoughlin, I'll have to look on Google Earth.

seen this in the text from that link you posted
"The Rogue River National Forest (until 1932 called the Crater National Forest) was established by President Theodore Roosevelt in 1908"

so there must be some volcanoes there somewhere

reply to post by muzzy


For fun. I just had to post this as research and old documents are my thing :-)

Mount McLoughlin

I was just checking RSOW. Last week we had an unusual amount of quakes on the mid atlantic ridge - today there is This It must be related!!

Never mind - it's a bunch of garbage floating around - go figure

I love reading those old papers, you can learn a lot from them, I have read a lot of real interesting stuff from the 1800's about New Zealands volcanoes.

I was in too close on the map , now I see it, all the volcanics seem to be to the east, there is an almost perfect cone just south of Hornbrook called Black Mountain and then there are domes all over the place between Montague and Mt. Shasta (shes a big girl eh ) looks like a real trhemal area.

Back at the swarm, its just folded mountains peaks like you say. Could be a bit like our lower North island area between the Wairarapa and the coast, the mountains along there look very similar. So odds are this swarm has something to do with the Gorda plate skidding under the American Plate.
