Description
The Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organization (CTBTO) has been instrumental in strengthening global monitoring networks through its International Monitoring System (IMS). This work specified the role of advanced capacity building system (CBS) installed at the Iraqi National Data Center (NDC) in May 2024, which enhances capabilities in data acquisition, analysis and event characterization by using a new version of software such as GeotoolQT and also inserts the IMS stations in SeisComP, which benefited us to detect more events about our region in real time. We put some events, for example, a seismic event in northern Iran on 5 October 2024, which was successfully detected using CBS. Additionally, the analysis of IMS data and International Data Centre products related to a major earthquake in Vanuatu, which occurred on 17 December 2024, at 01:47:23.760 UTC. This is a region with complex seismic and volcanic activity. The event was detected by three IMS technologies and includes data analysis with hydroacoustic stations with the integration of the location of the event with the seismic and infrasound data of the stations close to the event using the latest version of NDC in a box software complemented by non IMS stations data from Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology (IRIS), such as stations of The Iraq Seismic Network.
