Power grid details
· LHO and LLO sectors connected by 6 AC-DC-AC ties. · Both sides reference frequency to GPS · When a clock tied to the generated frequency deviates from a GPS clock by 10s (Eastern Interconnection) or 2s (Western), time error correction is initated. · Target of 60.02 Hz or 58.98 Hz implemented until time error is within 6s (east) or 0.5s (west), then restored to 60.00 Hz. · Time error correction is often initiated and terminated by telephone contact with power plants (variable delay). · Operators may postpone correction for several reasons. · Range from several corrections per day to once per month. · Time error correction proceedure is in a state of flux Concerns · Glitches may leak through AC-DC-AC ties. · Glitches or increased coherence may be produced by human and natural events that affect both sides (auroras, work schedules, lightning). · Long term coherence due to GPS frequency reference

An algorithm for detecting the presence of temporally correlated bursts
· Coincident event rates for aligned and offset LHO and LLO time series are compared. · Skeleton: Masahiro Ito's glitchMon · Signals that exceed sigma thresholds increment coincidence tables · Coincidence tables are incremented into the future to allow for propagation delays (about 15 ms is used here). · Multiple thresholds (and coincidence tables) to allow search for low-amplitude intersite events · Time series are output for high threshold events

Motivation · Know your enemy · Such bursts could produce coherence that drops off as LHO and LLO time series are misaligned · Event tool was not yet ready

If corresponding bins in LHO and LLO tables each contain greater than, for example, 2 events, an intersite event is recorded, giving, for this example, 1 or 2 intersite events (depending on dead time): |0|0|0|0|0|0|0|0|e|e|0|0|0|0|0|0|0|...|0|0|0|0|0|0|0|0|0|0|0| and 0 off-second (control) events: |0|0|0|0|0|0|0|0|0|0|0|0|0|0|0|0|0|...|0|0|0|0|0|0|0|0|0|0|0|

Summary

· Stand alone code has been developed to search for correlated intersite events by comparing coincidences (15 ms window) for aligned and misaligned time series.

· Detected high rates of intersite bursts on coil magnetometers (probably lightning)

· Did not detect intersite bursts for votage monitors, seismometers, MC_F, fluxgate magnetometers

· No evidence yet of lightning strikes on other channels
