Satellite relay telemetry of seismic data in earthquake prediction and control Satellite relay telemetry of seismic data in earthquake prediction and control
The Satellite Telemetry Earthquake Monitoring Program was started in FY 1968 to evaluate the applicability of satellite relay telemetry in the collection of seismic data from a large number of dense seismograph clusters laid out along the major fault systems of western North America. Prototype clusters utilizing phone-line telemetry were then being installed by the National Center for...
