Abstract

Ground movements resulting from earthquakes depend on the earthquake’s magnitude and the distance from the hypocenter to the point of observation; they are measured using a seismograph. The project “Modernization of the Seismic Network of Slovenia” started in 2000. Seismic stations were equipped with Quanterra Q730 data loggers and Guralp CMG-40T seismometers. Recently some of seismic stations were upgraded with broadband seismometer Guralp CMG-3ESPC or STS-2. In this study we present the most important characteristics of the seismic equipment installed in the Seismic Networkof Slovenia.
