This dataset contains passive seismic recordings taken in August/September 2026 at 10 locations forming a mini-array of ~1 km aperture in Saxon Lusatia (Germany) near the village of Oppitz. The measurements were part of the “Low Seismic Lab” project in collaboration with the DZA (German Centre for Astrophysics). The 10 three-component 4.5 Hz geophones remained in the field for ~17 days. The goal of this mini-array was to analyse the ambient seismic noise field, its characteristics, and directions. Raw data is provided in proprietary “Cube” format and standard miniSEED format. We also provide a stationXML file with station metadata.
Within the Inter-Wind project we study wind turbine (WT) emissions with ground motion and acoustic measurements which are accompanied by the acquisition of meteorological parameters as well as psychological surveys of residents living in the vicinity of the wind farms. Measurements are conducted on the Swabian Alb in Southern Germany at wind farms Tegelberg and Lauterstein in multiple interdisciplinary campaigns. Here we focus on measurements with line and ring layouts which are directed at improving the prediction of ground-motion emissions of WTs.
This dataset contains recorder log files. Seismic data is stored at GEOFON, network 4C (2020 - 2024, Ritter and Gaßner 2022).
A temporary seismic array was installed in combination with a meteorological station in the Dead Sea valley, Jordan. Within the scope of the HGF virtual institute DESERVE we operated 15 temporary seismic stations between February 2014 and February 2015 together with a nearby meteorological station close to the east coast of the Dead Sea. The main aim was to acquire data to study the influence of wind on seismic records and retrieve related meteorological parameters. The study area is scarcely populated and has ideal meteorological conditions to study periodically occurring winds.
LITHOS-CAPP is the German contribution to the international ScanArray experiment. ScanArray is an array of broadband seismometers with which we aim to study the lithosphere and upper mantle beneath the Scandinavian Mountains and the Baltic Shield. LITHOS-CAPP contributed 20 broadband recording stations from September 2014 to October 2016, 10 in Sweden and 10 in Finland, continuously recordings at 100 samples per second. The stations were deployed by the KIT Geophysical Institute and GFZ section 2.4 (seismology). They form part of the temporary network ScanArrayCore (FDSN network code 1G 2012-2017). This data publication contains the original log-files of the recorders.
