Return to the map-based search display. Using the example search for
Monterey, click on Ground Motion Records in the bubble caption, and
the screen shown in Fig. GC3 appears.
This diagram gives information about the earthquake, as well as links
to get the actual ground motion acceleration records. There are usually
three records per set: northsouth (in this case 000), eastwest (090), and
vertical (UP) records.
To see the northsouth ground motion record, click on the record
name, for example, LOMAP/MCH000 (displayed in the map-based search
results). This is the northsouth component because the compass bearing is
given as 000 in the title. Compass bearings are shown in Fig. GC4.
The following data will then appear (there are many more lines of data
than shown below):

The ground motion data is written in rows. In this file, there are 7,990 data
points, written at a time increment of 0.005 s. The accelerations are written
in g units.
To save the data to your computer, Select All of the data, copy, and
then paste into a NOTEPAD file.
To use the data in analysis software, you may need to copy the four
lines of header information that accompanies each record.
Other information: The PEER NGA database also contains a huge Excel
spreadsheet called the flatfile, which contains a host of information about
each ground motion. This spreadsheet can be downloaded from the Download link at the top of the file, and the explanation of the data in the spreadsheet can be obtained from the Documentation link. This information will
be useful when you are trying to select several earthquakes that have similar
characteristics, such as fault type, magnitude, site characteristics, and so on.
