USArray GMV for MW 5.6 OKLAHOMA

The USArray Ground Motion Visualization (GMV) illustrates how seismic waves travel away from the earthquake location by depicting the recorded wave amplitudes at each EarthScope/USArray station location using colored symbols. For more information on GMVs visit the GMV product page.

Two types of GMVs are produced:

• Vertical-component GMV:
  Produced for US events of magnitude 5.5 or larger and global events of magnitude 6 or larger. The symbol colors represent the amplitude of the vertical ground motion, as detected by the station's seismometer.
• 3-Component GMV:
  Produced only for events with magnitude 7 and larger use 'tailed' symbols to show direction and amplitude of the normalized horizontal motion. Symbol colors also represent the amplitude of the vertical ground motion, as detected by the station's seismometer.
