Broadband Seismometer & Strong Motion

Three-component broadband ground velocity together with high-dynamic-range strong-motion acceleration.

Overview

The cabled ocean-bottom seismometer (COBSO) records three-component broadband ground velocity together with co-located strong-motion acceleration at each COSZO seafloor site. Each measurement is streamed at several sample rates, supporting both high-frequency earthquake detection and long-period analysis.
