| + | Earthquake early warning (EEW) is a technology that can provide rapid information about an earthquake. Under favorable circumstances, EEW technology can provide automated warning of strong ground motions from an earthquake before those ground motions have propagated to all affected sites. EEW technology provides warnings after the earthquake has begun but before the earthquake has affected all users. |

| − | == Catalog Comparison ==
| |
| − | We looked at current eew results on the CISN algorithm testing site [http://scecdata.usc.edu/earlywarning/ CISN EEW Algorithm Testing Site]]. The web system provides several summaries. We compared the earthquakes on two summaries available on the web site which are: (1) Catalog summary and (2) Cumulative Trigger Summary. EEW system list of ANSS events against ANSS list of triggers.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | To interpret these trigger summaries were designed to compare eew performance anywhere in california. The ANSS earthquake catalog is the reference observational data.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The EEW algorithm testing system filters the catalog to include only earthquakes within California region. We based the EEW California region on the CSEP region. There are two regions defined. California testing region. In this region, the systems are expected to forecast earthquakes, or provide EEW alerts. There is a slightly larger region which is the catalog region. When we retrieve the catalog and we restrict our request to a region, we may miss earthquakes right on the edge due to uncertainties in the earthquake locations. So we use a reference earthquake data set from a slightly larger region, the catalog region.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | These cumulative summaries work on the site, but they are so large now, with multple years of info that it produces multi-MB htlm files. We don't have good parsing of these, but we worked with data from these two summaries retrieved on 12 Oct 2010.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | We found that he catalog list has two events not included in the trigger list. I believe these in the region between the testing region and the catalog region. The two catalog events are listed:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | NC 71330090 1/4/2010 14:24:54 4.12 40.2773 -123.868 30.74
| |
| − | CI 14858988 10/12/2010 3:00:34 4.27 32.1582 -115.29 5.58
| |
| − |
| |
| − | We need to confirm this one is plausible (32.1582,-115.29) but this is in Humbolt (40.2773,-123.868)so it is not out of the teting region. This discrpency between ANSS events in the two lists remains.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The total events in the trigger list is 146 (1Jan2010 through 12Oct2010)

| |
| − |
| |
| − | Our SCEC research team has developed initial capabilities of the CISN Testing Center (CTC) as a part of the USGS-funded CISN ShakeAlert Project. The CTC is designed to compare regional-scale ground motion estimates, such as peak ground motion estimates, against observed ground motion data, for significant California Earthquakes. The CTC is designed to identify which ShakeAlert ground motion estimation methods produce the best fit to observed ground motions.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Scientific goals of the CTC include (a) development of consensus among SCEC researchers on meaningful measures of comparison between ground motion estimates and observations, (b) collection and analysis of ShakeAlert performance information, and (c) integration of standard Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Analysis (PSHA) terms and practices into EEW. The technical goal of the CTC is to develop an automated system that can comparing ground motion estimates against ground motion observations. The CTC system used the CSEP testing framework to automate the evaluation of CISN ShakeAlert rapid earthquake parameters including ground motion forecasts for each event.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | As part of this year’s CTC development, we updated the CSEP Testing Framework to use the USGS ShakeMap RSS Feed as an authorized source of event-based ground motion observations. As ShakeAlert systems produces rapid ground motion estimates for significant California events, the CTC will evaluate those ShakeAlert ground motion estimates against CISN ground motion observation using goodness-of-fit algorithms defined by CISN scientific groups.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Our ShakeAlert ground motion forecast testing shares scientific and technical goals with several other SCEC activities including validation of attenuation relationships, synthetic ShakeMaps, velocity model and wave propagation model goodness of fit measures, and short term ground motion forecast testing. The CTC system is designed to support CISN ShakeAlert testing and to also be applicable for evaluation of other ground motion estimation methods.
