Data from Deployment of Temporary Seismic Stations in Northern Norway and Finland

摘要

This short contribution is a description of data now available in NORSAR's data archives from a temporary deployment during 2002 - 2004 of six seismic stations in northern Norway and Finland. Explosions in underground as well as open-pit mines in the Khibiny massif of the Kola Peninsula of northwestern Russia are conducted on a frequent and relatively regular basis. It was decided to supplement the network of permanent stations in northern Fennoscandia and northwest Russia with temporarily deployed stations, in order to record these explosions, as well as other mining explosions and natural events occuring in this general area. The six temporary stations were deployed along two profile lines, extending westwards from the Khibini massif. The rationale for this deployment was to collect data to examine distance as well as azimuthal dependance of seismic discriminants.
