Kurchatov infrasound station (KURIS)

KURIS infrasound station is located at Kurchatov town of the East-Kazakhstan region. The station was constructed in 2010, the KNDC archive has the station’s data from December, 2011.

The infrasound sensors, microbarometers MB2005 and digitizers CMG-DM24, are installed in the bunkers. In total, there are four such equipment vaults. The configuration is the equilateral triangle with a site in its center. The system radius is 500 meters. The wind interference suppression devices are connected to the microbarometers inputs. The sample rate is 20 samples/sec/channel. Time scaling is GPS. Infrasound data are transmitted to the Center Processing Facility via wire modems VDSL. After that the information is transmitted to the CAPSSI via the Internet channels.
