The geophysical instrumentation of the CTBT worldwide is important for characterizing nuclear and chemical tests. These observatories have also strengthened the geophysical monitoring capabilities of solid-earth processes like large earthquakes and volcanic eruptions on Earth. However, assuring the correct functioning of this instrumentation is hard under extreme conditions of temperature,...
In Indonesia, the CTBTO auxiliary seismic station network consists of one data center (NDC-BMKG) and six auxiliary seismic stations. Each station is in a different environmental condition and faces a unique set of troubleshooting challenges. According to the incident's history over the last five years, power and on-site communication issues were prevalent. The implemented troubleshooting is...
Active seismic survey, together with aftershock seismic survey, magnetic and gravitational field mapping and electrical conductivity measurements (Protocol to the CTBT, Part II), are geophysical detection technology which can contribute jointly to the search logic for the detection of on-site inspection (OSI) anomalies or artifacts underground. This work presents a system solution to active...
