Preface: “Improving seismic networks performances: from site selection to data integration (EGU2019 SM5.2 session)”

Abstract

The number and quality of seismic stations and networks in Europe continually improves, nevertheless there is always scope to optimize their performance. In this EGU2019 SM5.2/GI4.13 session we welcomed contributions from all aspects of seismic network installation, operation and management. This includes site selection; equipment testing and installation; planning and implementing communication paths; policies for redundancy in data acquisition, processing and archiving; and integration of different data sets including GPS and OBS.
