Joint Norwegian and Croatian temporary seismic stations deployment within AdriaArray – the CRONOS network
Main Article Content
Abstract
This work presents an overview on the deployment of temporary seismic stations in the central part of the External Dinarides, aimed at enhancing our understanding of local seismic activity and tectonic processes. The deployment involved the installation of 12 new broadband stations over a period of two years. The seismometers were installed on solid building foundations lying directly on (or very close to) bedrock, providing an optimal tradeoff between ground coupling, instrument safety, and access to the power grid. Excluding one station that experienced early irreparable failure, the temporary network achieved a data recovery of the order of 87%. These temporary stations, in conjunction with several pre-existing permanent seismic instruments, allowed for the collection of high-resolution seismic data. This combined dataset was analyzed to identify seismic patterns and contribute to the broader knowledge of the Dinarides tectonic framework. The findings highlight the significance of temporary seismic networks in advancing earthquake monitoring and risk mitigation efforts in seismically active regions.
