The Red Atrapa Sismos (Quake-Catcher Network in Mexico): Assessing Performance during Large and Damaging Earthquakes (original) (raw)

2015, Seismological Research Letters

AI-generated Abstract

The Red Atrapa Sismos (RAS) network, a component of the Quake-Catcher Network (QCN), utilizes low-cost MEMS accelerometers to monitor seismic activity in Mexico. This study evaluates the performance of the RAS during significant earthquakes, highlighting its ability to provide timely data for earthquake early warning systems. Results indicate a rapid transfer of seismic data and effective earthquake magnitude and location estimation, supporting the network's role in enhancing earthquake response efforts.
