Czech National Seismological Network

The Czech National Seismological Network consists of the following permanent seismological stations: Pruhonice (PRU), Kasperske Hory (KHC), Dobruska/Polom (DPC), Novy Kostel (NKC), Praha (PRA), Ostrava-Krasne Pole (OKC), Vranov (VRAC), Moravsky Beroun (MORC). Moravsky Krumlov (KRUC) and Velka Javorina (JAVC) are part of the ACORN network. Stations PRU, KHC, DPC, PRA, OKC, VRAC and MORC are involved in the global seismological data exchange of some sort, i.e. they provide data on the regular basis to international seismological centres in the U.S.A., Great Britain, Russia, France and Germany. Station DPC is one of the European broad-band telemetered stations included into global Nearly Real Time Data System SPYDER run by Consortium I.R.I.S. (Incorporated Research Institutions in Seismology). In co-operation with the Polish Academy of Sciences the Geophysical Institute has been operating VBB research seismological station Ksiaz (KSP) for almost 25 years.

Seismic Local Network in Western Bohemia - WEBNET
Station Novy Kostel (NKC) has been monitoring the activity of the West Bohemian swarm region permanently since 1989. More than 500 local tectonic microearthquakes are recorded every year. The station is equipped with digital three- component short period instrumentation. NKC is part of local network WEBNET. To learn more about WEBNET activities, contact J.Horalek (jhr@ig.cas.cz)
