The Morgan Hill Earthquake of April 24, 1984—Strong-Motion Records

Seventy-two strong-motion accelerograph stations, mostly from within the permanent networks of the U. S. Geological Survey and the California Division of Mines and Geology, were triggered during the Morgan Hill earthquake, April 24, 1984. Among the more interesting of the records are the large acceleration (1.29g) at Coyote Lake dam, the Gilroy array spanning the region between the San Andreas and Calaveras faults, the record from Hall's Valley (epicentral distance 4 km), and records from buildings, a bridge, and a dam within 20 km of the epicenter. Digitized data from 16 stations are available on tape.
