Resumo
PublicationAbstract
On 19 March 2022, seismic activity suddenly increased on São Jorge Island, being associated with a possible unrest of Manadas Fissure Volcanic System, where historical eruptions occurred in 1580 and 1808. To locally monitor the evolution of seismicity and eventual eruptive activity, we immediately started a site survey to deploy a mobile infrasound array around the epicentral area. Firstly, several sites were pre-selected using a terrain imagery software. On 1 April 2022, in a collaborative work between IVAR-CIVISA and UniFI, those spots were evaluated in situ. On the most ideal site, we installed a 4-element infrasound array (SJ1), configurated in a diamond geometry with an aperture of ~ 115 m. After 1 month, having more resources, the array design was rearranged into a triangular geometry with a central element, extending the aperture to ~ 130 m. SJ1 has been remotely acceded by GSM transmission and data are broadcasted in real time to IVAR and UniFI servers. 24-h periods of data were processed to analyse PSDs for both array configurations, which are herein compared and discussed about their signal-to-noise ratio and detection capability.
