The Infrasonic Monitoring Network (IMN) in China is under construction to detect, identify and located the signals generated by natural disasters. Presently, fifteen sensors are operational and transmitting real time data to Central Data Centre (CDC) in Beijing. Each sensor station is composed of one infrasonic sensor, one humidity and temperature sensor, one digital sampling and transmitting device, which collects and delivers real-time continuous infrasonic, temperature, humidity, GPS raw data to CDC. IMN is designed as a robust sensor network optimized for rapid deployment and provides long-term information monitoring; the system supports data acquisition with GMT time and is remotely configurable. Its high performance has been demonstrated in the initial deployment experience and preliminary analysis of sampling data.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
