This diagram illustrates how remote seismic monitoring stations are connected to the Earthquake Monitoring Center at Sultan Qaboos University (ag赌博) through a satellite and OmanTel’s communication network.
1. Remote Stations: These stations record earthquake data and store it in a system powered by a solar battery. Data is transmitted through a VSAT (Very Small Aperture Terminal) device, which uses satellite communication.
2. Satellite Connection: The remote stations send data to the satellite, which relays it to the monitoring center. This connection is established via a wireless signal linking the satellite and the remote stations.
3. Earthquake Monitoring Center (ag赌博): The center receives data from the stations through the satellite, using a dish connected to a modem. An analyst at the center reviews and analyzes the incoming data.
4. OmanTel: OmanTel’s network acts as an intermediary in the system, facilitating the data transmission from the satellite to the monitoring center. This system enables the monitoring center to receive real-time data from remote stations, helping in accurately monitoring seismic activity and analyzing information.
The image represents a map of Oman showing the distribution of seismic monitoring stations managed by the Earthquake Monitoring Center at Sultan Qaboos University. The stations are widely spread to cover various terrains and key regions across the country, with each station represented by a red triangle symbol.
Geographic Distribution Details:
1. Northern Regions: Several stations are located along the northern coast and in the Musandam Governorate, areas known for their proximity to the Iranian fault line, which makes them prone to seismic activity due to tectonic plate movements in the region.
2. Central Regions: Stations are spread throughout the interior of Oman, especially along the Al Hajar Mountains that run through the middle of the country. This area is important for monitoring as it contains natural rock fractures that could impact local seismic activity.
3. Southern Regions: Stations are also placed in the Dhofar region, extending along the southern coast and near the border with Yemen. This distribution enhances the center’s ability to monitor all regions, including less densely populated areas.
