this file will contains technical information on all sites installed
and operated in Kamchatka during the 1998-1999 SEKS project. Installations
were performed jointly by Yale University team (Park, Levin, Peyton)
and personell from Kamchatka Experimental and Methodical Seismologic Department (Chebrov, Tokarev, Stepanov, Dontsov, Sinitsyn, Titkov, Fedorov), with invaluable help of the PASSCAL field work adviser Matt Fouch.
Photographs illustrating sites are taken by members of deployment crews.
| Location: 52.9257 N, 157.13287 E, 156 m Sensor: T3409 DAS: 0151 Operating parameters: continuous data streams 1 sps and 40 sps. Station is installed in a vault ~100m from the station operator's house. There is a road nearby which provides medium-level noise; the rest of the noise is from people and farm animals walking around. GPS clock is mounted on a pole outside the vault.[Peyton's notes] Installed: 06/21/98, [Levin, Tokarev, Sinitsyn ]

Location: 54.594N, 161.133E, 68 m Sensor: T3494 DAS: 0650 Operating parameters: continuous data streams 1 sps and 40 sps. sensor on pier next to another accelerometer setup in basement of house. DAS, etc. is located on 1st floor. Power comes from dry-cell bank, 1 lead-acid battery, 2 solar panels, and a DC generator that is turned on once a week. Station managers are geologists by training, and could easily be called upon for hot disk swap if necessary. Power should be fine, since house runs on DC most of the week and their batteries need charged as well. Microseism was evident in monitors. Noise at station during waking hours, but this was probably elevated due to high traffic level in house from 10 people in house (normally 3). [Fouch's notes] Installed: 08/24/98, [Fouch, Dontsov]

Location: DAS GPS FIX, JD 249, 1998: 54.694N, 158.582E, 44 m Sensor: T3476 DAS: 0586 Operating parameters: continuous data streams 1 sps and 40 sps. Station is installed in a vault set into a hillock. Low-level noise is provided by people and farm animals. The disk was moved off the peir and duct-taped onto the top of a spare Sbox. The GPS clock is mounted on a pole on top of the hillock.[Peyton's notes] Installed: 06/22/98, [Levin, Sinitsyn, Titkov]

Location: Sensor: T3431 DAS: 0901 Operating parameters: continuous data streams 1 sps and 40 sps. Station is installed in a vault located in the side of a small hill ~20m from the station operator's house. The pier is isolated, but does not appear to go down to bedrock. The power board, battery, and Kepco are in the station operator's house and power runs out to the vault via a buried 2-conductor cable. GPS is mounted on a pole in the hill above the vault. The sensor and station boxes are in the station operator's house. [Peyton's notes] Installed: 08/16/98, [Park, Fouch, Tokarev, Peyton]

Location: 55.203N 160.399E
Sensor: T3461 DAS: 0646 Operating parameters: continuous data streams 1 sps and 40 sps. Tumrok is a one-man town with five cabins for hunters passing through. The station is installed in the potatoe cellar of one of the cabins.Tumrok gets very cold (below 40 degrees Celcius), so the DAS and Disk are installed in the potatoe cellar on a shelf above the sensor. There are three layers of styrofoam between the instruments and the lid of the cellar. Power is supplied by two solar panels (set up to maximize sun collection in the middle of winter) outside the cabin, a large car battery, and 40 deep-cycle marine dry cells (hooked up in four parallel groups). There is a generator which will (ideally) be run once a week to recharge the car battery. The GPS clock is mounted on a small shelf under one of the roof eaves and locked reliably. The sensor and station boxes are on the floor of the cabin above the equipment.[Peyton's notes] Installed: 08/26/98, [Park, Chebrov, Peyton]

Location: 54.082N, 159.988E Sensor: T3301 DAS: 0192 Operating parameters: continuous data streams 1 sps and 40 sps. ZUP - sensor on pier next to Oleg Dontsov's 3-component accelerometer. Styrofoam was cut small to accomodate this; it's probably a little too small since it presses the sensor cable against the sensor in one place. Non-ideal setup, but should be OK unless noise levels (other than microseism) are high. Power comes from dry-cell bank, 1 lead-acid battery, 2 solar panels, and a DC generator that is turned on once(?) a week. [Fouch's notes] Installed: 08/24/98, [Fouch, Sinitsyn, Fedorov] |
