Seismic monitoring of the territory of Ukraine due to IRIS KIEV station data

Summary The seismic monitoring of the territory of Ukraine is an important task to protect strategic buildings and housing from the earthquake effects. It is shown that the continuous flow of data from the seismic station IRIS KIEV and further processing of seismic records using SeisComP makes it possible to constantly update the computer database of global earthquakes and seismic events that occurred in the near zone and directly in Ukraine. The digital seismic station IRIS KIEV was installed in accordance with the agreement between the Albuquerque Seismological Laboratory of the US Geological Survey and the Subbotin Institute of Geophysics of the NAS of Ukraine on the territory of Ukraine in 1994. This station, with coordinates 29.22 east longitude, 50.70 north latitude, is part of the IRIS Global Seismic Network and is operated jointly by both sides. It is a base station for observations on the platform part of the territory of Ukraine. The use of existing open source software provides undeniable advantages in solving seismic monitoring problems in the Ukraine.
