The Guerrero Accelerograph Network
Contenido principal del artículo
Resumen
La red de Guerrero esta compuesta por 30 estaciones acelerográficas digitales de movimientos fuertes ubicadas en Guerrero, México y estados vecinos. La red fue diseñada para registrar acelerogramas de temblores de gran magnitud en parte de la zona de subducción de México. La red esta localizada encima de una brecha sísmica madura y con posibilidades de registrar uno o mas temblores de magnitud cercana a 8 en los próximos años. Los 30 sitios para la red acelerográficas de Guerrero fueron seleccionados en los mejores sitios rocosos disponibles de acuerdo con la geometría de la red y otros criterios secundarios sobre las condiciones locales. Los instrumentos digitales han operado extremadamente bien en los pasados 7 años y han producido datos, tanto en cantidad como en calidad, que exceden las expectativas iniciales. A diciembre de 1991la red ha producido mas de 927 acelerogramas de 385 temblores. Los registros mas importantes ala fecha provienen de los temblores de septiembre 19 y 21 de 1985 (Ms=8.1, 7.6) y abri125 de 1989 (Ms=6.9). A magnitudes menores la red ha producido un excelente conjunto de sismogramas de 26 temblores con magnitudes 4.2 y mayores. Ha registrado también numerosos sismogramas de eventos con magnitudes 3 o menor, aunque estos pequeños eventos sólo han logrado disparar algunas pocas estaciones. La localización de los eventos que han disparado los instrumentos de la red se concentra cerca de la costa en los dos extremos de la brecha sísmica de Guerrero, cuyos límites están definidos por las zonas de ruptura de los mayores temblores históricos.
