Podgornoye seismic station (PDGK)
PDGK seismic station installed under the CAREMON Project and put into operation in 2010 is located on the skirts of Kyrgyzsay settlement (Podgornoye) of Uygur region, Almaty area. The equipment vault in which seismic sensors and recording equipment are installed is constructed on bedrock exposure at selvedge of minor subvolcanic intrusion of trachyte-liparite – trachyte-dacite composition of upper Paleozoic age (τλPZ3) with 1x2 km size.
Topographic map of PDGK station location:
The seismic sensors of the station: Trilliun Compact 120 Sec and accelerometer Titan are installed on a pedestal in the equipment vault. Recording instruments: 24-bit ADC Centaur (6 channels) is installed near the sensors. Sample rate: 40 samples/sec/channel for all channels. Timing scale is GPS. Seismic data are transmitted from Centaur output to the satellite modem through the local network. At the same time there is an opportunity to accumulate data on a CD memory card.
