Analysis of SHDAS Platform Evaluation at PSRF
The Seismo-Hydroacoustic Data Acquisition System (SHDAS) is undergoing evaluation in preparation for its engineering, development, and deployment by the U.S Navy as an ocean bottom seismic monitoring system. A prototype of the Underwater Platform has been deployed at the Pinedale Seismic Research Facility (PSRF) in Wyoming to determine how well it couples to the ground for the purpose of measuring ground motion. The evaluation was conducted during the summer of 2014 by the U.S. Navy, U.S. Air Force, RP Kromer Consulting, and other contractors. Sandia National Laboratories (SNL) was asked to analyze and interpret the collected data so as to comment on coupling of the Underwater Platform to the ground.
