NDC access procedure Annual reports Data access

2010

THE BEGINNING PERIOD (1976-1996); participation in the scientific experiments of the expert group (GSETT).

GSETT-1 (1980-1982)

The seismic parameters obtained from the analogous records of the Rosu Mountain Station (MLR).

GSETT-2 (1988-1992)

• Operation of the National Data Center (ROM_NDC)
• The seismic parameters obtained from the digital records of the Rosu Mountain Station
• Focal parameters for local earthquakes recorded by the National Seismic Network
• Evaluation of GSETT-2 test results
• Participation in the implementation of the International Monitoring System

GSETT-3 (1995-1996)

• Operation of the National Data Center (ROM_NDC)
• Waveforms and seismic parameters obtained from the Rosu Mountain digital seismic (MLR)
• Focal parameters for local earthquakes recorded by the National Seismic Network
• Evaluation of GSETT-3 test results
• Participation of a Roman seismologist at the International Experimental Data Center
• Romania's participation in the global system of seismological verification of compliance with the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT) was regulated by the Memorandum no. C3 / 4246 of 23.12.1993, through which the Ministry of Research and Technology, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of National Defense and the Ministry of Communications have committed themselves to ensure the legal framework for this activity.

Romania's participation in the global system of seismological verification of compliance with the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT) was regulated by the Memorandum no. C3 / 4246 of 23.12.1993, through which the Ministry of Research and Technology, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of National Defense and the Ministry of Communications have committed themselves to ensure the legal framework for this activity.

This Memorandum established the participation of Romania in the testing of the global system for the verification of nuclear experiences by means of seismological means, the seismic station Cheia - Rosu Mountain, and the National Data Center of Romania, organized within the INCDFP (at that time the Center for Earth Physics). Romania ratified the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty in 1999 (Law No. 152 / 4.10.1999).

Romania's participation in the activities of the CTBT, after the ratification of the Nuclear Experiment Total Prohibition Treaty

(Law No 152 / 4.10.1999)

Romanian National Data Center for CTBT

• Collaborates with the Treaty Organization (CTBTO) to maintain the Red Mountain Seismological Station (AS81 - MLR) to the technical and operational standards specified in the Operational Manual for seismic monitoring and international seismic data exchange
• Receives, processes and analyzes data from this station and from the International Monitoring System as well as the products of the International Data Center (IDC) in Vienna, Austria
• Participates in the work of the International Data Center in Vienna by sending additional data to IDC, consisting of the localization of local events (seismic bulletins) registered by the seismic network of Romania, and participation in tests organized by PTS to assess the performance of the global monitoring system of the CTBTO (SPT1, SPT2, the exercise for calibration of seismic stations in the IMS network - December 2009) and the tests for the evaluation of the National Data Centers (NPE07, NPE08 and NPE09)
• Performs data sharing and collaborates with data center specialists from different countries
• Ensures participation in the meetings of Working Groups B
• Ensure the participation of ROM_NDC station operator and personnel in training courses on issues related to seismic station operation, data transmission, data analysis and management (so far two specializations have been made in Russia, two in Japan and 5 in Vienna).

Cheia Seismic Station - Rosu Mountain

Geographical position: Located at the foot of the Ciucas Mountains, near the village of Cheia

• Latitude: 45.490° N
• Longitude: 25.945° E
• Altitude: 1360 m
• Geology: limestone and conglomerates, Cretaceous fissures

Equipment of the station

• During the period 1994-2002, seismic equipment installed on the basis of the cooperation between the INCDFP and the GEOFON network in Germany
• In 1999, the station was upgraded to meet the requirements of the Treaty, based on technical assistance received from the Government of Japan and technical assistance provided by the CTBTO
• The installation of the new seismic monitoring system at Munte Rosu and Bucharest was completed in October 2001

On June 26, 2003, the Cheia - Rosu Mountain (AS81) seismic station was officially certified as an auxiliary seismic station of the CTBTO International Seismic Monitoring System (IMT).

The AS81-MLR seismic station is currently operating under the requirements of the Treaty, continuously recording soil movements and transmitting data in real time to the International Data Center in Vienna (IDC) and the National Data Center in Bucharest (N14 - ROM_NDC).
