Statement

The seismic data was recorded continuously at 100 sps with continuous GPS. Almost permanent daylight in summer (this is near the Arctic circle), together with the use of large truck batteries (typically 3 x 115 Amp-hrs) and multiple solar panels on each site (typically 80 watts), provided sufficient power supply through both the summer and winter months to keep the seismometers operating continuously. The prevalence of basaltic rocks means that compasses are unreliable indicators of true north, so we used GPS to orient the seismometers. Data has been converted from Guralp GCF format to miniseed.
