and S-waves (ts) from a nearby earthquake:

Recording Time of day

Station              [hr:min]                      tp [s]        ts [s]

A                        23:36                        54.65       57.90

B                       23:36                         57.34       62.15

C                       23:37                         00.49       07.55

D                       23:37                         01.80       10.00
