Germany

In Germany exists a so-called DEPAS-Pool (Deutscher Pool für amphibische Seismologie
= German Pool for amphibous seismology). The land component is based at the GFZ (and is 
integrated in the geophysical instrument pool Potsdam/GIPP)while the marine component is 
based at the Alfred Wegener Institut at Bremerhaven www.awi-bremerhaven.de). They have 80 
OBS's. It is a foreseen to use both components in common onshore/offshore experiments. 
There is a common steering committee to ensure this.

4. Previous experiments in Europe:
   A short period network was deployed around Almiros in eastern
   Greece from May 1992 to Aplril 1994 to study shear wave anisotropy. Many
   local earthquakes were detected and recorded digitally.

ING has a mobile digital seismological network which is composed of a
central mobile data aquisition and processing unit and 10 remote seismic
stations linked via digital telemetry.

Each station is composed of

Lennartz PCM 5800 with UHF antenna and DCF-receiver as well as GPS time
receivers, the digitizer are coupled to three components Guralp CMG4-T
(10s-100Hz), Guralp CMG40T (20s-50Hz) or Guralp CMG3 broadband seismometers
(or short period Mark L4c-3d)

4 out of 10 stations can be completed with a digital
accelerometer CODISMA (by Contraves, Italy)

The central acquisition system has a Motorola 68000 computer with 380 mbyte
disk and two Nagra 9-tracks tape recorders

Besides the equipments described above the ING also has six Lennartz DM5800's
recording on magnetic tapes, and ten 24-bit RefTek 72A-07's recording on
portable 1 Gbyte HD. All the seismic stations are equipped with three
components Guralp CMG4T, Guralp CMG40T, or Guralp CMG3.

The permanent  seismic  station  which  belongs  to  the  Novosibirsk
Computing Center consists of a three-component borehole  seismic  receiver
SR-3,  located in the borehole at the depth 205 m. This seismic station is
situated  near  the  surface  of  the  borehole.  It  realizes  functions,
filtrations,  filtrations  and  normalization  of  signals  by  the level,
transformation  of  seismic  signals  into  the  numeric  code   and   its
transmission  through the optical fibre communication line of length 300 m
to the data processing center with the use of PC AT-386 with  a controller
for the signal input.

Primary technical characteristics of the Seismic Observation Station:

     recording channels                       X,Y,Z
     frequency range                          1 - 10 Hz
     response of SR-3                         150 v/m/sec
     gain factor                              2 x 10
     length of the communication line:
     seismic station - data processing center 300m
     signal quantization frequency            50 Hz

For increasing the productivity of the data processing center  it  is
planned to introduce a high-throughput processor 486 DX2-66,  RAM 8Mb, HDD
340 Mb,  as well as a modem for the observation data transmission via  the
satellite   communication   channel   for  switching  to  the  All-Russian
Seismological Network.
In addition to 12  permanent  seismological  observatories,  deployed
within  the  Altay-Sayan  region,  the  seismological  department  of  the
Institute of Geophysics of the Siberian Division  of  Russian  Academy  of
Sciences  has  a  set  (about  10  units) of mobile short period (1-10 Hz)
3-component seismic stations with analog  registration  on  magnetic  tape
which is used for temporary observations in the epicentral areas of strong
regional earthquakes.
Although, there  is  a  master  plan  for  the  deploymentof  a small
aperture advanced seismic array (9-16 short period  sensors  and  1  broad
band  station)  in  the  Altay area,  however,  this project does not have
sufficient financial support for its implementation.

We now have 18 Nanometrics Orion instruments. Each station has three
component sensors. 8 stations have Lennartz 5s feedback sensors, 5 Lennartz
1s feedback sensors, and the rest old passive Mark 1Hz sensors (we had a
theft of some of our sensor heads, so we are temporarily using old ones).

The instruments are at present deployed as part of the ongoing TOR project.
Various other projects are envisaged but nothing else is funded yet that I
know of. The project which is perhaps farthest along the road to becoming
reality is SVEKALAPKO deep seismics, which is scheduled for the winter of
'98-'99. We have hopes of putting out about 200 stations (maybe up to about
50 bb) for a period of about six months.
