Instrumentation in GSNet

The VSAT-connected seismograph stations have Gralp CMG 3T 120-s triaxial broadband sensors and Gralp CMG-DM24 24-bit digitizers with external GPSThe continuous data is recorded at 50 sps The strong-motion accelerographs consist of internal AC-63 GeoSIG triaxial forced balance accelerometers and GSR-18 GeoSIG 18-bit digitizers with external GPSThe recording is in trigger mode at 200 sps with threshold set at 0.002 g.The offline broadband seismograph stations are equipped with Gralp 120-s triaxial CMG-3T broadband sensors and Reftek 24-bit 130-01 digitizers with external GPS.Data are recorded in continuous mode at 100 sps.

Noise Level

The seismic stations of the network are located on varied geological formations including sandstone, basalt, shale, limestone, and hard soil of Mesozoic to Quaternary age

Data Processing

Presently, all data processing is carried out in offline mode on SEISAN software (Havskov and Ottemller 2000). The online data are viewed on a 42-inch LCD monitor using the SCREAM (seismometer configuration, real-time acquisition and monitoring) application of GralpThe earthquakes are located with HYPOCENTRE utility and ML/mb/MS are calculated on the basis of distances.The components of individual stations are rotated, and spectral analysis is carried out for estimation of Mw and source parameters like seismic moment, fault radius, corner frequency, and stress drop

Detection Capability

The network recorded and located about 4,000 local earthquakes from July 2006 to OCT 2009 with magnitudes in the range of 0.5 to 5.0Local earthquakes are located with an error of 1-2 km in latitude and longitude and 45 km in depth.M2 is the detection capability in most parts of Kachchh, M3 in the mainland Gujarat and earthquakes of M 3 are well-recorded up to 200-km distance.The network can record earthquakes of M 4 within about 1,000 km, M 5 within about 2,000 km, M 5.5 within about 5,000 km, and M 6 within about 10,000 kmThe teleseismic earthquakes in the 2,0005,000-km range are located with an error of about 1 degree in latitude

A sample broadband record of an Mw 4.7 earthquake in the Kachchh region of Gujarat recorded at the Khavda (KAV0) station (epicentral distance 88 km) on 13 May 2007

A sample broadband record of an Ms 8.3 earthquake on 12 September 2007 in southern Sumatra, Indonesia, and recorded at the Kadana (KAD0) station (epicentral distance 5,024 km).
