Resources on working with analog seimsic data

Seismic Patrimony Tutorial

Maria Teresa Merino, Josep Batlló, and Tana Andrades have been developing a tutorial detailing several aspects of the of the preservation and restoration of legacy seismic archives. While this currently remains a work in progress, it contains a wealth of information likely to be useful for seismic observatories and institutes facing the challenge of managing.

New Manual of Observatory Practices

The New Manual of Seismological Observatory Practice (NMSOP) is a compendium of seismological knowledge needed to run observatories and seismic network. NMSOP facilitates the use of data acquired by (digital) seismic networks. A new chapter by Josep Batlló and R. de Plaen is in beta to give users of analog seismograms a basic knowledge about the main characteristics of the records and help them to properly digitize them. This includes a review of analog seismogram morphology, time accuracy and time corrections, instrument transfer function determination and needed trace corrections for digitization.
