Workshop on Future Support and Responsibilities of the Los Angeles Strong Motion Network; and Modern Data Digitization,Processing and Dissemination by a Personal Computer

这一行动是为了支持洛杉矶盆地强震加速度台网的基本维护。该网络建立于1979/80年，用于记录洛杉矶盆地由大地震引起的强烈地面震动。其目标是提供对地震工程和减轻地震危害至关重要的信息。在1980年至1986年期间，台网所覆盖的地区很少发生地震活动。从那以后，棕榈泉、欧申赛德、惠蒂尔海峡和帕萨迪纳地震都被记录了下来。尽管这些都不是大地震，但强烈的地面运动数据却被记录了下来。预计在不久的将来会发生一次更大的地震，而洛杉矶盆地强震台网的位置正好可以记录这次地震。在洛杉矶盆地附近发生这次或另一次大地震之前，重要的是要使台网及其仪器得到令人满意的维护，并使台网保持随时准备记录强烈的地面震动的状态。这就是这个行动的目的。

This action is to support the basic maintenance of the Los Angeles Basin Strong Motion Accelerograph Network. This network was established in 1979/80 to record the strong ground shaking in the Los Angeles Basin resulting from large earthquakes. The goal is to provide information that is fundamental to earthquake engineering and to earthquake hazard mitigation. Very little earthquake activity occurred in the area covered by the network during the period from 1980 to 1986. Since then, the Palm Springs, Oceanside, Whittier Narrows, and Pasadena earthquakes have been recorded. Even though these were not major earthquakes, outstanding data on strong ground motions were recorded. A much larger event is expected in the near future, and the Los Angeles Basin Strong Motion Network is strategically located to record this event. Until this or another significant earthquake occurs in the vicinity of the Los Angeles Basin, it is important that the network and its instruments be maintained satisfactorily, and that the network be kept in a state of readiness to record strong ground shaking. That is the purpose for this action.
