| Description: | In order to monitor the seismicity in Norway and the adjacent offshore areas, a network of digital seismic stations have been operative on mainland Norway since the beginning of 1980's. Prior to this, a number of single-stations and networks were installed in different parts of Norway. The first seismograph station in Norway, equipped with two horizontal Bosch-Omori pendulums, was deployed in Bergen in 1905, which was later replaced by a Wiechert seismograph in 1921. Later in the 1950's and 1960's several stations were operative, including the first array station in Lillehamar (1963-1969). At present, the Institute of Solid Earth Physics (IFJ), University of Bergen (UiB), is responsible for the operation of a network of more than 20 stations installed on mainland Norway, the arctic islands, Jan Mayen, Bjxrnxya, Svalbard and an ocean bottom seismograph deployed in the North Sea, near the Oseberg petroleum production platform (Figure 1). The network covers a large geographical area, with the largest distance between the most remote stations in Svalbard and southern Norway, of approximately 2200 km. In addition, NORSAR contributes data from the three array stations in eastern Norway (NORESS), northern Norway (ARCESS) and Svalbard (SVAESS). Data from the network are regularly being processed and archived in a database which provides the basis for further analyses within the different research fields of seismology. Monthly seismic bulletins are produced and distributed both nationally and internationally. There is also a regular data exchange with the neighbouring countries as well as other international agencies. |
