“…As well known, the magnitude detection threshold and location performance of a seismic network are mainly related to the noise level and geometry of the stations that make up the network (D'Alessandro et al, 2011a(D'Alessandro et al, , b, 2012b(D'Alessandro et al, , 2013bD'Alessandro and Stickney, 2012;D'Alessandro and Ruppert, 2012;D'Alessandro and D'Anna, 2013). OBS are increasingly used to monitoring offshore areas while downhole sensors always have been used to reduce natural noise level.…”
