United States Government.
Oregon State University operates a World-Wide Standard Seismograph
Station at Corvallis (COR) and a seismic station at Klamath Falls (KFO),
Oregon.
The Corvallis station includes three short-period Benioff seismographs (To = 1 sec, T g = 0.75 sec), three long-period Sprengnether
seismographs (To = 30 sec, Tg = 100 sec), and a small short-period
vertical Benioff seismograph (T o = 1.0 sec T g = 0.2 sec) to provide
visual recording on the OSU campus.
The Klamath Falls station consists of a small short-period
vertical Benioff seismograph (T o = 1.0 sec, T g = 0.2 sec), with visual
recording on the campus of the Oregon Technical Institute.
