Description
The National Data Centres (NDCs) are crucial for advising their National Authorities on nuclear explosion monitoring, and in many cases, they play an important role as station operators and in transmitting IMS data to the CTBTO in Vienna. This panel will discuss the synergy between the CTBTO and regional experts. The PTS provides technical assistance and training for building the required national and regional capacity. NDCs can go beyond the capability of the IMS because they have access to regional network data that are useful for enhancing the monitoring capabilities. With their expertise, the NDCs provide feedback to enhance IDC products and services. The quality and effectiveness of Treaty monitoring benefit from this international cooperation.
