PUNA Project Western Argentina, GFZ Potsdam
Abstract:
The PUNA (Plateau Untersuchung Nw Argentinien) seismograph network was deployed across the Andes at ∼23.5°S. The array was centered in the backarc, atop the Puna high plateau in NW Argentina and was in operation for approximately 100 days between late August and late November 1997. Most stations were equipped with short-period1-Hz 3-component seismometers and PDAS data loggers recording continuously 100 sps. The deployment was part of the collaborative research center „Deformation processes in the Andes - SFB267”. Waveform data are available from the GEOFON data centre, under network code ZB under CC-BY 4.0 license.
