8. Mainland/Madeira Network [IMP]

9. MODSISNAC – new BB seismic network MODSISNAC – new BB seismic network by performing major improvements in the present network: introduce significant enhancements in the remote stations adopt (near) real-time transmission of signals real-time processing capability Supported by Portuguese National Science Foundation, FCT (20 stations) Private Donation (GALP – oil company) (2 stations) Instituto de Meteorologia, I.P. (operation and maintenance) Solve some constrains: frequency band (SP stations …) dynamic range non real time (digital)

10. MODSISNAC – new BB seismic network MODSISNAC – new BB seismic network These improvements will permit: quality data acquisition in highly sensitive stations which are also equipped with strong-motion sensors higher quality digital transmission real time monitoring at the Operational Center automatic signal detection automatic association of detections, event location and magnitude evaluation development of a rapid earthquake information system for Civilian Protection authorities automatic archive of recorded data development of high-level products (bulletins, shake maps, etc.) contribute to international monitoring efforts (FDSN, ORFEUS, tsunami projects [NEAREST, IOC]) data for scientific research purposes
