Construction and development of China digital seismological observation network

摘要

The seismological observation system in China has experienced rapid development over the Tenth Five-year Plan period. China Earthquake Administration (CEA) has completed the establishment of China digital seismological observation network. CEA has accomplished analog-to-digital conversion of the existing seismological observation systems and set up a number of new digital seismic stations. This indicates full digitization of seismological ob-servation in China. This paper presents an overview of the scale, layout principle and major functions of the up-dated national digital seismograph network, regional digital seismograph network, and digital seismograph net-work for volcano monitoring and mobile digital seismograph networks in China.
