Data Organization and Format

The March 20, 2010 18:08 UTC Mw 5.6 Cuba Region, Earthquake data recorded by the USGS National Earthquake Information Center (NEIC) are available via the NSMP ftp server in the folder (directory) "20100320_1808" (https://ca.water.usgs.gov/nsmp/20100320_1808).    The time series provided are available in uncorrected acceleration, corrected acceleration, corrected velocity, corrected displacement, response spectra (relative displacement, relative velocity, pseudo-velocity, and absolute acceleration), and Fourier amplitude spectra of corrected acceleration.  All of the data are in SMC format.  

Data for this event use the following file-naming convention:

uncorrected acceleration: N.S.C.L_u.smc
corrected acceleration: N.S.C.L_a.smc
corrected velocity: N.S.C.L_v.smc
corrected displacement N.S.C.L_d.smc
response spectra: N.S.C.L_r.rs2
Fourier amplitude spectra (f): N.S.C.L_f.fs1

N = "CU' Network Code
S = 'GTBY' station code
C = SEED channel
L = Location code '20' for all channels

The data are stored in two directories: uncorrected (only uncorrected acceleration) and corrected (all of the corrected and processed data, including acceleration, velocity, displacement, response spectra and Fourier amplitude spectra. This convention for organizing the data was implemented to avoid confusion between the directory names (Vol1, Vol2, … Vol6) previously used for some earlier events and the standard conventions for Volume1, Volume2 and Volume 3 processing.

Information on how the data are processed can be found in the section on DATA PROCESSING.  Note that these data were processed using an acausal Butterworth locut filter.


Downloads

To facilitate downloading the data, the data have been compressed into PC compatible ".zip" format.  The same zip file is located in the "zips" folder in "20100320_1808" on the NSMP ftp server, "https://ca.water.usgs.gov/nsmp/20100320_1808".
