| Abstract: | This paper deals with the Finnish seismic array, which in its present state consists of two tripartite arrays, HESA and JYSA. The first of these arrays, situated near Helsinki, has been in continuous operation since 1964 and uses analog recording by frequency-modulated telemetry. The JYSA array is sited in central Finland near the town of Jyväskylä. This array consists of three substations equipped with vertical-component SP seismometers. The signals are transmitted by digital FM telemetry in the UHF band and recorded at Helsinki on magnetic tape. Events are detected visually from monitoring drums. The digital data of the events detected are handled by a microprocessor with a graphic display and fed to a Burroughs 6700 analysing computer.Comparison with the NORSAR array indicates that at frequencies below 2 Hz the absolute noise level at JYSA is about 6 dB lower, but above 2 Hz the noise level for single instruments at the two arrays is about the same. As regards detection capability, the incremental threshold is about the same for JYSA as for Hagfors and 0.5 magnitude units higher than for NORSAR, but 0.5 magnitude units lower for JYSA than for the WWSSN station NUR in southern Finland. |
