Earthquake activity in the Southern Vanuatu arc recorded by the Texas digital OBS

Abstract: Abstract.We have reconfigured the Texas digital ocean bottom seismograph (OBS) to operate in a triggered mode and record regional earthquake signals. This paper reports the results of a deployment program designed to test these digital OBS, by monitoring earthquake activity in and near the trench in southern Vanuatu (formerly, the New Hebrides). We successfully recorded hundreds of earthquakes, including 133 located regional earthquakes recorded by three or more stations. We also report J-B residuals for 21 ea… Show more

“…According to this latter report, which was based on a survey conducted through the international marine seismological community, there were a total of 232 OBS's in the world, including three units from NTOU-R.O.C. The Te xas OBS 's have been extensively used in studies of deep crustal structures in the Middle America Trench (Ibrahim et al,1979) and in the Gulf of Mexico (e.g., Ebeniro et al, 1986Ebeniro et al, , 1988, and in studies of micro-earthquakes in the Southwest Pacific (Pontoise et al, 1979;Ibrahim et al, 1980;Chen et al, 1981;Coudert et al, 1981;Frohlich et al, 1990) and in the Aleutian Trench (Frohlich et al, 1982). In this paper, we briefly describe the instrument and the operational procedures for seismic refraction surveys.…”
