High-Gain, Long-Period Seismograph Station Installation Report, Charters Towers, Australia

Abstract

The report describes the installation of a high-gain, long-period seismograph system at Charters Towers, Australia. The station is located at 20 degrees 05 min. 18 sec. south latitude, 146 degrees 15 min. 16 sec. east longitude at an elevation of 356 m above sea level in the same tunnel as, and adjacent to, the World Wide Standardized Seismic Network (WWSSN) station CTA instrument vault. The system consists of three Geotech seismometers with natural periods of 30 sec (one vertical and two horizontal) each with two velocity transducers and one displacement transducer.
