SPE 1 Data Quicklook report
The SPE 1 shot was recorded by an extensive set of instrumentation and data return was good. Here we review the far-field data with emphasis on improving data return for the upcoming SPE shots. Initially, the data was checked for instrumentation and metadata problems. Seven sensors appear to malfunctioning, based on data appearance and amplitude. An additional four digitizers may have incorrect channel assignments for the stations. Although not visible on the shot itself, spikes appear periodically in the data and may be related to the solar panel power set-up, although this has not been confirmed. An assessment of potential clipping for the next shot was carried out with the existing sensor emplacement and rough calculations suggest that clipping appears unlikely. Preliminary comparisons of amplitude versus yield and comparisons with synthetics are shown. A brief discussion of the planned far-field seismic analysis is given.
