Abstract
Distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) sees increased utilization in the seismological community in recent years and various applications are investigated for the usage of DAS in different branches of seismology. Strong-motion seismology uses records of earthquakes of engineering concern (MW>4.5) with hypocentral distances within few hundreds of kilometers. This demands dense networks over a wide area and installation of typical strong-motion instruments (accelerometers) can be achieved quickly and at a reasonable budget, compared to other network types. For DAS, installation and operation are more involved, and deployment is very still limited. Consequently, DAS recordings of nearby large events are still very unlikely and rare compared to accelerometers. On September 18, 2022, a shallow earthquake sequence with a MW 6.9 mainshock struck near Chishang (Taiwan) and was recorded by DAS in Hualien city, appr. 100 km north. Shaking of the mainshock and several aftershocks were noticeable in Hualien, though not damaging with PGA recorded at 0.28 m/s^2 nearby the DAS site. The DAS campaign was originally conceptualized as a test suite with different fiber installations: including buried, within a gutter (as in commercial fiber installation) and loose within a basement. The test site is in an urban area affected by surface rupturing during the 2018 Hualien earthquake. The presented recordings provide not only an unprecedented insight how strong-motion appears on DAS but also how effective different installation techniques are for this kind of event. The waveforms are also compared to records of a collocated broadband seismometer and an accelerometer 1 km away.
