We anticipate installing 2-3 additional sites over the winter and 3 VSAT s. One site will be installed this fall. Noise tests were made at four sites on the Oregon coast where BPA microwave telemetry exists. Permitting is underway at 3 sites that utilize free telemetry by the Washington State Patrol microwave system, Seattle Water Department, and Washington Forest Department, and installation will commence upon approval. Equipment exists for installation at four additional sites, but no specific locations have been identified.
All links are up and functioning.
Investigations are underway to improve connectivity, capacity, and cost savings through utilization of VBNS networking with priority service. We are investigating the cost of providing a dedicated circuit from the University of Washington to the Pacific Geoscience Center network. ShakeMap implementation is complete in NC and is in production. Efforts were devoted to integration of non-NCSN data sources into ShakeMap utilizing an Oracle DBMS as a staging platform for peak ground motion parametric information. ML magnitude computation software is being released to entire community pending code documentation.
