Scientific paper

In August 2002, an array of 32 three-component geophones was installed in the San Andreas Fault Observatory at Depth (SAFOD) Pilot Hole (PH) at Parkfield, CA. As an independent test of surface-observation-based microearthquake locations, we have located such events using only data recorded on the PH array. We then compared these locations with locations from a combined set of PH and Parkfield High Resolution Seismic Network (HRSN) observations. We determined the uncertainties in the locations as they relate to errors in the travel time picks and the velocity model by the bootstrap method. Based on the PH and combined locations, we find that the ``C2'' cluster to the northeast of the PH has the smallest location uncertainties. Events in this cluster also have the most similar waveforms and largest magnitudes. This confirms earlier suggestions that the C2 cluster is a promising target for the SAFOD Main Hole.
