Peak horizontal acceleration at each station is contoured in units of percent-g (where g = acceleration due to the force of gravity = 981 cm/s/s). The peak values of the vertical components are not used in the construction of the maps because they are, on average, lower than the horizontal amplitudes and ground motion prediciton equations used to fill in data gaps between stations are based on peak horizontal amplitudes. The contour interval varies greatly and is based on the maximum recorded value over the network for each event.
Maps - General Information
- The Red star usually located near the center of the map is the epicenter.
- Small unfilled circles, shown on some maps, are points where strong motion values were estimated and used to fill gaps in the station distribution.
- The colored triangles indicate reporting stations. In California, for example:
- a) Red triangles are stations from the Caltech/USGS digital telemetered network.
- b) Blue triangles represent California Geological Survey (CGS) and California Strong Motion Instrumentation Program (CSMIP) dial-up stations.
- c) Yellow triangles represent stations from the ANZA Regional Network.
- Green triangles represent National Strong Motion Project (NSMP) dial-up stations or, on historical maps, non-digital stations from which strong motion records were digitized
