Description: | The Puerto Rico Seismic Network (PRSN) of the Department of Geology of the University of Puerto Rico at Mayag|ez is responsible for monitoring seismicity in the Puerto Rico region. It operates a network of short period and broadband seismometers throughout Puerto Rico and nearby islands. The main objective of the PRSN is to record, process and analyze local, regional and teleseismic earthquakes. Since September 1999, the PRSN has updated its Data Processing and Acquisition systems, when the IASPEI and SOUFRIERE systems were substituted by the digital data acquisition system ViSeis, along with analysis programs PRLOC, DIMAS and PITSA. The Seismic Network presently consists of 13 short period seismometers (three of them being 3 component stations; and the Cerrillos and Portuguis that belong to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers) and 10 broad band seismometers ; which are installed in Puerto Rico and nearby islands; operating along with three repeater stations and a data acquisition center. |
