The objective of this installation is to test the usage of a conventional array layout for detection of microseismicity. The region of the Groningen gas field is an excellent test ground, since the operating company NAM (Nederlandse Aardolie Maatschappij) installed a multitude of shallow borehole stations from 2014 to 2017, of which 65 – in addition to the already existing shallow borehole stations installed by KNMI (Koninklijk Nederlands Meteorologisch Instituut) – were already online during the time of measurement, thus ensuring an earthquake catalogue that is complete down to low magnitudes during the time of array installation. The site for the installation was decided together with local parties involved in the seismicity monitoring, i.e. KNMI and NAM, and was located close to the village of Wittewierum. Stations were installed from the 12th of July 2016 to the 29th of August 2016 (49 days). The array was composed of 9 stations. The array was constructed in three concentric rings of 75 m, 150 m and 225 m diameter including a central station, but the geometry had to be adapted to the local conditions. Each station consisted of a broadband sensor (Trillium 120 s), an acquisition system (CUBE datalogger), a battery, and a GPS antenna. The entire system was installed at ~1 m depth (apart from GPS and transmission antennas), requiring only the digging of shallow holes, one for the installation of a thin concrete plate and the sensor, another one for a box containing the remaining instrumentation. The array stations recorded continuously with little outages; only station WAR1 stopped recording on the 22nd of August and station WAR7 stopped recording from 20th to 22nd of August. Waveform data is available from the GEOFON data centre, under network code 1C, and is fully open. funderName:GFZ Helmholtz Centre for Geosciences funderIdentifier:https://ror.org/04z8jg394; IDType:ROR awardNumber:GIPP201515 funderName:SHale gas Exploration and Exploitation induced Risks (SHEER) project, www.sheerproject.eu, European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme awardNumber:640896 Complete geofon@gfz.de ContactPerson missing@unknown.org pointOfContact .mseed Monitoring system GEMET - INSPIRE themes, version 1.0 publication Seismological stations Library of Congress Subject Headings publication In Situ/Laboratory Instruments > Magnetic/Motion Sensors > Seismometers GCMD Instruments publication In Situ Land-based Platforms > GEOPHYSICAL STATIONS/NETWORKS GCMD Platforms publication Anthropogenic SeisData publication Array SeisData publication Geophysics SeisData publication FOS: Earth and related environmental sciences Fields of Science and Technology (FOS) publication Local network SeisData publication Passive seismic SeisData publication Seismometers SeisData publication Velocity SeisData publication MiniSEED SeisData publication GIPP SeisData publication MESI SeisData publication Temporary SeisData publication Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International https://geofon.gfz.de/waveform/archive/response/1C/2016_2016 URL HasMetadata eng 6.7 6.8 53.2 53.4 Netherlands 2016-07-01 54000000000 http://dx.doi.org/10.14470/6P7561560569 WWW:LINK-1.0-http--link Landing Page Link to DOI landing page or data facility landing page if no DOI is assigned. information This metadata record was generated by an xslt transformation from a DataCite metadata record; The originator of the dataCite record should be cited in the metadataContact field of this record.
