Dear All--
We have received requests for membership, from 2 universities:
The University of Bergen (UiB) is responsible for running the Norwegian National Seismic Network (NNSN), and operates 39 seismic stations. NORSAR who already is an FDSN member is contributing to the NNSN with additional stations. The UiB stations are all real-time and equipped with broadband seismometers (except for one) and high dynamic range digitizers. Geographically the network covers mainland Norway and Arctic islands that belong to Norway to monitor earthquakes in the region (about 8000 events per year). An overview of the network and operations was presented in the ISC 2018 Summary of the bulletin (ftp://isc-mirror.iris.washington.edu/pub/pdf/bulletin/summary/BulletinSummary20151.pdf), and current monitoring and seismicity is presented on www.skjelv.no. UiB has always supported open data policy and developed open source seismological software (e.g., SEISAN). Waveform data (including all 39 UiB stations) are available openly through fdsn web-services from the EIDA node (UIB-NORSAR eida.geo.uib.no) that is hosted at UiB. UiB has supported Orfeus as core participant since its beginning.
The university of Memphis share the New Madrid network code with St. Louis University and also operate stations under the East Tennesse network code, both networks are part of the Center for Earthquake Research and Information (CERI) seismic network which consists of 132 permanent seismic stations (26 broadband, 18 free field strongmotion, 12 digital shortperiod with collocated strongmotion, and 76 shortperiod 3-component). All channels are exported to IRIS in real-time where they are publicly available. They also submit hypocenters and arrival times to the USGS Comcat (also publicly available) using both the NM and SE network codes (they took over submitting events for SE from VA Tech in the mid-2000's).
Thus, they also agree to the requirement for FDSN membership:
"Membership in the FDSN is open to all groups that operate more than one broad-band station. Members agree to coordinate station siting and provide free and open access to their data (normally in SEED format)."
At our last meeting, we decided that, should we receive applications for membership, we could send out an email for voting.
Each member of the FDSN will have one vote. A majority of 2/3 voting members will be required for an affirmative vote. Five members of the FDSN will constitute a quorum.
Please could you send me your votes by no later than 20 October 2020 in order for us to make a decision.
Thank you for you cooperation.
Kind regards
michelle
