Digitization and Data Processing of Records from the Whittier Narrows Earthquake of October 1, 1987

1987年10月1日加州惠蒂尔纳罗斯地震期间记录的强震数据不仅包括地面运动数据，还包括建筑物诱发运动的详细记录。这些数据的类型、质量和数量都是独一无二的，是关于减轻地震灾害的许多方面的潜在信息来源。为了实现这一潜力，必须对数据进行数字化和处理。此外，不同地点的记录之间的关联和比较需要了解各个强震台的绝对时间：这可以产生对构造响应的详细解释。这一行动是为了提供资金，用于处理南加州大学在洛杉矶盆地维护的强震加速记录。

The strong motion data recorded during the Whittier Narrows (California) earthquake of October 1, 1987 included not only ground motion data, but also a detailed record of the motion induced in buildings. The type, quality and quantity of this data is unique and constitutes a potential source of information on many aspects of earthquake hazard mitigation. To realize this potential, the data must be digitized and processed. Moreover, correlation and comparison between records from different sites requires a knowledge of the absolute times at various strong motion stations: this can yield detailed interpretations of the response of structures. This action is to provide funds for the processing of the strong motion accelerograms maintained in the Los Angeles basin by the University of Southern California.
