February-March 2023 Arcata to Eureka, California, Deployment of Nodal Seismometers

These data are from a 3-month long deployment of nodal seismometers that ran from December 22th, 2022 until March 1st, 2023 as part of a Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) experiment above the Gorda plate. The deployment was done in response to the 2022/12/20 M6.4 Ferndale earthquake. The sensors were deployed at 46 locations along Old Arcata Rd between Arcata and Eureka California (Figure 1); these locations track the approximate location of the fiber optic cable used as part of the DAS experiment. The instruments have a battery recording life of approximately one month and were swapped out in the same locations in Mid-to-late January, and late February-Early march. Exceptions are that only 29 were deployed for the first month and 3 extra stations were deployed along Samoa blvd in Arcata in the third month. Thus, there are 122 instruments that were deployed at 49 distinct locations.
