Description
The USGS deployed two temporary onshore arrays of seismic recorders transverse to and straddling the San Andreas fault at the latitude of Loma Prieta during marine seismic reflection profiling of the north-central California margin conducted in May 1990. The marine reflection profiles were acquired for the Offshore Geological Framework Program using the RV S.P. Lee, which towed a ten-element, 40 liter (2424 cu.in.) airgun array. Nineteen three-componenet land stations continuously recorded the airgun signals produced by the reflection profiling at large offsets.
