Accelerometer calibration by primary and secondary means is now very well covered both in low and medium frequency range. This is obviously not the case for seismometers which are widely used in the world. Up to now, seismometers only have internal checks thanks to an integrated coil. Calibration of these devices address different challenges like large mass and volumes, non-rotatable devices, specific mounting. This inter laboratory comparison will help to investigate these fields and to give feedback to develop a methodology to calibrate seismometers.
<p>In order to improve the confidence in the results of measurements carried out in the field, on-site metrology is a key step. With the medium-term objective of being able to deploy a portable metrology system on different infrasound stations, CEA-DAM has tested an innovative system for calibrating its infrasound sensors. The first tests were conducted in November 2019 and September 2020 as part of the installation and certification of the IMS IS25 infrasound station in Guadeloupe. A total of 20 microbarometers were qualified on site.<br>We present the equipments deployed, the methods used and the results of the measurements carried out. It appears that the preliminary results show a very good correspondence between the measurements performed in the field, under particular environmental conditions, and the measurements performed in the metrology laboratory. The method will be confronted to the metrology community within the framework of the European Infra-AUV project in 2022.</p>
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.
