Ground-motion records and basin depth models for Reno, Nevada, 2008-2022

May 23, 2024

This dataset includes processed ground-motion records and horizontal pseudospectral accelerations (5-percent-damped) from magnitude 3.0-6.0 earthquakes occurring in the vicinity of Reno, Nevada, between 2008 and 2022. The dataset includes 592 records from 104 earthquakes and 42 stations. Spectral values are provided at 21 periods (0.01-10 s). Local basin depths as given by Z1.0 and Z2.5 (depths to the 1.0 and 2.5 km/s shear wave speed isosurfaces) are from Simpson and Louie (doi: 10.5281/zenodo.4408557). The dataset includes Vs30 (time averaged shear wave speed in the top 30 m) values for each station from from Thompson and others (doi: 10.1785/0120130312).
