Analysis of Temperature Effects on GS-13 Short Period Sensors Utilizing Sandia's Seismic Sensor Temperature Testbed

Slad, George W.; Merchant, Bion J.; Bloomquist, Douglas K.

Sandia National Laboratories has fabricated a Seismic Sensor Temperature Testbed (SSTT) suitable for exposing sensors under test to a range of reasonably stable temperatures while a co-located reference sensor is maintained at room temperature. The testbed has proven sufficiently quiet to allow recording of high-coherence signals from regional earthquakes in the passband of the seismometers, allowing a direct comparison of signals between the sensors under test and the reference sensor.
