(Abstract)
A network of 209 continuously running digital seismic stations equipped with short-period geophones (200 stations) and broadband sensors (9 stations) was deployed in an area of ~14 x ~14 km in the Lausitz (Saxony, Germany) for a period of ~5 weeks. The main objectives were 1) to create a 3-D model of the subsurface (shear wave velocity; ambient noise tomography) using the ambient seismic noise field and 2) to investigate the spatio-temporal distribution of the seismic noise (and noise sources). The project is related to the preparations for the construction of a ‘Low Seismic Lab’ (as part of the German Center for Astrophysics, DZA) and potentially the Einstein Telescope. Waveform data is available from the GEOFON data centre, under network code 9I.
