FDSN code 2V (2016-2016) Network name Microseism source characterisation in the North East Atlantic, west of Ireland (NEAMS)
Start year 2016 Operated by
  • Dublin Institute For Advanced Studies
End year 2016 Deployment region -
Description

The aim of the project is to deploy 10 Broad Band Ocean Bottom Seismographs (OBSs) units across the shelf offshore Donegal and out into the Rockall Trough in order to study microseims. Compared to earthquakes, microseisms represent background seismic noise generated by ocean wave pressure fluctuations on the sea floor which generate low frequency seismic waves. This project is a collaboration between the Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies (DIAS) and the Helmholtz Center GFZ Potsdam (Germany) with instruments provided by the Alfred Wegener Institute (AWI in Germany).
