Description
(Abstract)
The Teisseyre-Tornquist Zone (TTZ)
as part of the Trans-European Suture Zone (TESZ) is one of the most prominent
suture zones in Europe separating the young Palaeozoic platform from the much
older Precambrian East European craton.
The knowledge of deep structure of the TESZ is very important for the
understanding of various tectonic processes in Europe.
The PASSEQ 2006-2008 seismic experiment was performed thanks to a big
international effort of 17 institutions from 10 countries.
A total of 139 three-component temporary short-period and 49 temporary
broadband seismic stations provided continuous recordings between May 2006
and June 2008 with the main period of recordings during 2007,
in an array about 1200 km long and 400 km wide running from Germany
through the Czech Republic and Poland to Lithuania.
The average spacing between all stations was about 60 km, attaining
about 20 km in the central part. The configuration of the seismic network was a
compromise among needs of different seismic methods. The dense central profile
allows the use of modern passive 2-D imaging techniques, while the distribution
of broadband sensors was designed for surface wave and receiver function
studies of the upper mantle down to the transition zone in a wide frequency
range.
Waveform data is fully open, with network code 7E.
