| Abstract: | We point out that sometimes a STA/LTA trigger algorithm does not work appropriately for strong-motion observations. The STA/LTA trigger algorithm evaluates the ratio of short-time average(STA) to long-time average(LTA) and is adopted to recognize an earthquake for recording by an event recorder. We observed strong-motion records in the northern part of the Ishikari plain during the 2003 Tokachi-oki earthquake and its largest aftershock. Peak ground accelerations of the records are about 1 m/s^{2 } and peak ground velocities, about 0.3 m/s. However,two of the stations which adopted the STA/LTA trigger algorithm failed in recording during the main shock and the largest aftershock. We evaluate STA/LTA ratios by using the records obtained at other stations in order to investigate factors in not triggering these events. Weak long-period initial motion of P-wave, which was observed during the 2003 Tokachi-oki earthquake and its largest aftershock, make the STA increase slowly. Since the LTA also increases during the slow STA increase, the STA/LTA ratios do not increase enough to trigger an even if peak ground motion is large. We note that the STA/LTA trigger algorithm alone is not perfect for strong-motion observations,especially at an urban site. |
