Shear-wave velocities (VS) are widely used for earthquake ground- motion site characterization. VS data are now largely obtained using borehole meth- ods. Drilling holes, however, is expensive. Nonintrusive surface methods are inex- pensive for obtaining VS information, but not many comparisons with direct borehole measurements have been published. Because different assumptions are used in data interpretation of each surface method and public safety is involved in site character- ization for engineering structures, it is important to validate the surface methods by additional comparisons with borehole measurements. We compare results obtained from a particular surface method (array measurement of surface waves associated with microtremor) with results obtained from borehole methods. Using a 10-element nested-triangular array of 100-m aperture, we measured surface-wave phase veloci- ties at two California sites, Garner Valley near Hemet and Hollister Municipal Air- port.

Phase velocities obtained from high-resolution-frequency-wavenumber (HRFK) spectrum-analysis method.
