Calibration analysis and noise estimates of WWSSN Station ALQ (Albuquerque, New Mexico)

November 6, 2019

World‐Wide Standardized Seismograph Network (WWSSN) records contain daily calibration pulses that can be used to retrieve the magnification as well as the response of the instrument for a given day record. We analyze a select number of long‐period vertical (LPZ) records from WWSSN station ALQ (Albuquerque, New Mexico). Although we find that the response of this instrument varies widely throughout time, we show that in most cases, we are able to estimate a pole‐zero response that has a root mean square error of ∼5  s⁠.
