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器网络的基本维护。该台网建立于1979/80年，目的是记录洛杉矶盆地因大地震而发生的强烈地面震动。其目标是提供对地震工程和减轻地震灾害至关重要的信息。1980年至1986年期间，该台网覆盖的地区几乎没有地震活动。从那时起，棕榈泉、海滨、惠蒂尔和帕萨迪纳等地都有地震的记录。尽管这些不是大地震，但记录了关于强烈地面运动的杰出数据。预计在不久的将来会发生一次更大的地震，洛杉矶盆地强震台网位于记录这一事件的战略位置。在洛杉矶盆地附近发生这一次或另一次重大地震之前，重要的是要令人满意地维护网络及其仪器，并保持网络处于随时准备记录强烈地面震动的状态。这就是这一行动的目的。

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.
