Japan 9.0 earthquake

This figure shows the broadband velocity seismogram recorded on the ANZA seismic network (http://eqinfo.ucsd.edu). This seismogram was recorded at station HWB which is located about 9000 km from the earthquake source. All stations in the ANZA network recorded excellent data and worked flawlessly while acquiring realtime data through HPWREN.
