Strong Motion Data from the 2012 M7.8 Haida Gwaii Earthquake

During the October 28 2012 moment magnitude (Mw) 7.8 earthquake offshore Haida Gwaii, British Columbia, the Geological Survey of Canada had three Internet Accelerograph (IA) stations that recorded the strong ground motions resulting from this event. These data have been used in a number of publications since 2013. Three-component, instrument calibrated, unfiltered numerical acceleration data for the three stations PRP01 (Prince Rupert), MSS01 (Masset) and QCC01 (Daajing Giids) are now easily accessible in miniseed and ascii formats. Details of IA are available here: https://www.earthquakescanada.nrcan.gc.ca/stndon/CNSN-RNSC/sm/IA_Details-en.php
