TWO SEISMOGRAPH STATIONS ON THE AFRICAN CONTINENT

Abstract

Two seismograph stations have been established in Africa, one at Lamto, Ivory Coast, and one at Abeche, Chad. This report contains a detailed description of the instrumentation and preliminary results at the Abeche station. At Abeche, a 3 element 3-component short period array 15 kms on a side is operated. The seismograph signals at the end points of the array are telemetered to a central station where they are recorded photographically and on magnetic tape. Short period gains of approximately 300,000 are utilized. Preliminary results on the detection capability of this station as a function of magnitude and distance are presented.
