The TERRAscope system by Kanamori et al. (1991) is employed in six stations in southern California to study the June 28, 1992 earthquake. Data from the TERRAscope system include low-gain channels for recording strong ground motions and surface waves, and estimates of peak accelerations and velocities. Source parameters are determined by inverting teleseismic P and S waves, and attention is given to such quantities as magnitude, radiated energy, and stress drop, as well as characterizations of directivity and slip distribution. The relation between energy and seismic moment and is illustrated, and the displacement record and moment-rate functions are examined. Applications of the TERRAscope systems are concluded to be useful for hazard assessment in the region since strong motion parameters are available in near-real-time.
