Envirosciences - a multi-parametric low-cost and modular station for documenting geohazards: station specifications and time series products

<p>Envirosciences is developing an integrated multi-parameter low-cost monitoring station encompassing the geohazard and geophysical community needs. It consists in integrating co-located sensors ((meteorology, seismology, GNSS) on the same data acquisition card with modular configurations compatible with the EPOS - European Plate Observing System- specifications (sensor type, data sampling, noise level, data and metadata format). On-line data dissemination sand on-demand processing services are further being developed in order to propose advanced products such as GNSS position time series, advanced hydro-meteorological variables and seismic/micro-seismic catalogues.</p> <p>A dense network of 45 stations is currently being implemented in the Western and Central Pyrenees (South France). The network consists of a seismological, meteorological and geodetic (GNSS) antennas. The measurement network is semi-permanent with at least ten years of observation. It will allow to create catalogues of hydro-geomorphological and tectonic events, to document Pyrenean tectonic uplift, and to better constrain local micro-meteorology from the valley bottoms to the summit ridges (by combining co-localised measurements of classic meteorological parameters - wind, temperature, pressure, humidity, precipitation - and tomography of vertical water vapor profiles from GNSS delays).</p> <p>The objective of the presentation is to present the technological development of the station which combines several types of sensors (2 Hz seismometers, dual-frequency GNSS receivers and meteorological stations), a high-frequency geophysical digitization module, a communication module (WiFi or4G) and a power supply module (by solar energy or 220V). Softwares to control the station have been created, as well as software to supervise the database and codes to interpret the measurements.</p> <p>We will further present the processing worklows and the time series of data acquired since November 2022 on 8 measurement stations already deployed in the Pyrenees. By the end of 2023, the full network of 45 autonomous real-time stations will be deployed with inter-station distances of around 5 km.</p>
