ATHENS TEST SITE Contribution of the Seismological Laboratory National & Kapodistrian University of Athens
KALI PLAT LAKA AKOR Strong & Weak Motion Network White: Seismographs in real-time transmission, Red: Seismographs in offline mode, Blue: Accelerographs in dial-up mode.
Network approach example Picking and associating phases
Earthquake locations for earthquakes with M>3 for the period (September 2007 – March 2008) White: traditionally picked and located events Black: automatic picked and associated events and Tnow located
The June 8 2008 (12:25 GMT), Andravida earthquake of magnitude Mw=6.4. Location and rupture zone
The calculated slip model revealed more than one seismic sources (Agalos A.) Synthetic PGV map plus relocated seismicity (Papadimitriouet al)
recording at Rodini station 2 s pre-rupture, period ~ 0,6 M=5.2 3 s period ~ 1.4 M=6.7 Instantaneous period estimation at Rodini station Kanamori & Wu
TRISAR and MALES arrays • REFTEK DAS 72 • CMG-40T-1s • GURALP DM24 Mark III • CMG-40T-30s
Array processing scheme developed by NORSAR and implemented by NKUA for the Athens test site
Array processing results for the June 6, 2008 Andravida Mw=6.4 earthquake.
Array processing results for the February 4, 2008 M=5.0 earthquake
Limiting factors of array performance • Temporary nature of installation • Timing errors resulting from the absence of a common timing system • Complexity and variations of crustal structure in the area. • Improvement of travel time tables or location corrections according to azimuth • Further tuning of single and multi array location algorithms is needed
Future prospects • Continuation of EW algorithm testing using the increasing number of real-time stations becoming available near the test site area and installing accelerometers in tandem. • Activating real time transmission of RASMON accelerometer network. • Improving latency times • Re-initiate array related activities provided that a common time base system can be established.
