What I heard ... Status reports: Menlo move at Mt. Tam largely complete. Failure of an ATM card last week in Menlo Park. Need to coordinate for tree trimming in Parkfield Menlo has broadband installations scheduled for Lassen area, Postpile, and Auburn Jim L. has been working with Winston. Some issues, but things are going well Berkeley is taking a breather in the move to SRB1. Next spate of moving will be in July after the T1s are brought in on fiber. Berkeley installations at Marconi and Alder Springs are underway Request card generator Pete wrote a summary of Doug Given's current code. Our discussion suggested a preference for simplicity, leaning toward a single measure of extraction, rather than a sensor-dependent selection (ie, different rules for velocity and acceleration sensors). General consensus: Err on the side of too much, rather than too little data. -> PL to make plots comparing the SoCal usage of the Joyner Boore relations and Bob U's suggestion of a Wood Anderson measure. Dave O and Lind to select their favorite. The plan is to extract and include all geophysical channels at a site if it qualifies, which means HH, BH and possibly LH. -> Need to investigate what filtering options exist within Jiggle. Can you sort by sensor type? Jiggle Is up and running. Stephane has confirmed that it calculates something when you ask it to compute Md, but this needs to be looked at by Menlo. There are some issues still to be resolved, such as the use of weights in hypoinverse and the more general issue of whether all the hypoinverse field that should be mapped are. -> Dave, Fred, Lind and Stephane are to review this issue. Stephane to initiate this by resending a mail message. Dave O is designated as chair. -> Then Dave, Doug, and Stephane will work with Paul and SoCal to address any issues. Paul will be modifying hyp2ps and the event coordinator as needed. Implementation The outcome of this discussion was to get a test system up and running as soon as possible. We decided that this would be implemented with SEED compliant channel names, which means that Fred will need to generate appropriate hypoinverse config files (and essentially maintain 2 versions in parallel). -> Stephane and Will and Lynn will set up Jiggle and a hypoinverse server in Menlo. -> Pete will set up an implementation of the RCG and waveform archiver in Berkeley. -> Menlo will take it out for a test drive ... This should be able to get rolling very quickly. Late data We'll need tools to handle the late data issue but decided that it should not be a show-stopper now. Catalog maintenance Two issues here - we will need tools to allow people to go in and "fix" problems. Dave O does this type of thing now with vi. This is like to be on an event by event basis. Second, it will be useful to have a tool that would allow for wholesale processing of the catalog - such as rerunning hypoinverse with a new velocity model. -> Dave O to check with Kate Hutton on what existing tools SoCal uses for maintenance. CUSP backlog We spent a lot of time discussing the CUSP backlog. Lynn D. has written up the plan the came out of that discussion. -> Doug N to review the plan and see if there are any "gotchas" Location codes Round and round and round and round ... We can't migrate to using location codes until CUSP is eliminated. Once CUSP is eliminated, we could begin using our location code software, but this would imply certain actions depending on where SoCal is in their preparations. Current policies: Menlo to use " " (ie, blankblank); UCB is planning to use "00". This topic is very difficult because implementation depends on whether NC or SC is ready first. Proposal: Have Pete, Lynn, Kalpesh and Vikki develop a plan for the staged implementation, looking at the issues of who gets there first. Current items: UCB is working on implemented the reporting of automated moment tensor solutions via QDDS. Pete is working on this. Discussion of reporting polygon. Lind and Dave O have agreed to look into this. Real-time system: Late in the day, we weren't quite up for a discussion of the real-time system. However, we agreed that we need to start working on this in parallel with the efforts to eliminate CUSP. So, the outcome of the discussion is for Will to work with Pete and Stephane to begin setting up a system in Menlo. First stop: Oracle database installation. -> Will to work with Pete and Stephane on setting up the TriNet software as is. This will give us some experience with the codes and motivate us to address unresolved issues like the handling of Md. Next steps: NCSS call on 7/22 @10 NCSS meeting in Berkeley on 8/18
