Tierra Grande Nodal Deployment

The experiment attempts to obtain reflections from the Socorro Magma Body (SMB) using energy generated by train sources as these pass by the track segment closest to the SMB boundary. We will utilize multiple nodal arrays of 10 to 20 elements (10 m apart) placed at different locations from the railroad track to maximize the possibility of recovering reflections/conversions. Array 1 will be located near the railroad track while the other arrays will be deployed at post-critical (if possible) distances to maximize likelihood of observing a reflection/ conversion off the SMB. The expected duration of the experiment is no more than 2 weeks of recording with 2 days scheduled for deployment and 2 days scheduled for pickup and data download. We will apply for permits for deployment of nodes of the Sevilleta National Wildlife Refuge, however we will attempt to deploy all or most nodal arrays outside the Refuge boundary for logistical simplicity.

本实验旨在利用列车经过距索科罗岩浆体（Socorro Magma Body, SMB）边界最近的轨道区段时产生的震源能量，获取该岩浆体的反射波信号。本实验将采用多套节点阵列，每套阵列包含10至20个间距为10米的节点，阵列布置在距铁轨不同距离的位置，以最大化获取反射波/转换波的可能性。第一套阵列将布置在铁轨附近，其余阵列则尽可能布置在临界后距离处，以提升观测到来自SMB的反射波/转换波的概率。本实验预计总时长不超过2周的连续记录周期，其中节点部署需耗时2天，设备回收与数据下载需耗时2天。我们将为在塞维利塔国家野生动物保护区（Sevilleta National Wildlife Refuge）内部署节点申请许可，但为简化后勤流程，将尽可能将全部或大部分节点阵列布置在保护区边界之外。
