Thread: Global DAS monitoring month

Happy DAS Month!

We are holding an online Global DAS Day event on February 14th at 10am ET
for contributors to share details of their fibre systems, compare notes on
data handling and observations, provide feedback on the data upload and
download process to PubDAS, and network with other DAS data providers and
users. You can register for this Zoom event here:
https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZwrdu-gqz0qHN39NQEs8dCDchLy4L8fCFKP.
This
event will be held in Zoom Meeting format and a recording will be made
available on YouTube after the event.

We welcome all to participate and we can accommodate live or prerecorded
talks, preferably 2-3 slides and less than 5 minutes. If you would like to
present, please upload your presentation materials to DropBox here:
https://www.dropbox.com/request/W7SjBKJuYgwcNj9juaSh and get in touch with
Kasey Aderhold (kasey.aderhold<at>earthscope.org). We also encourage
submission of short videos from participants to introduce yourselves, your
fibre, and let us know "Why do you love DAS?"

Please register for the event with the email address associated with your
Zoom account. We are requiring Zoom authentication to limit disruptions.
Note that U.S. government accounts may encounter difficulty due to the lack
of integration between standard Zoom and Zoom Gov; we advise using a
different email associated with a standard Zoom account to register. You
can register for a free Zoom account to authenticate.

The global DAS monitoring month is starting on Wednesday! This is exiting
and thank you all for the positive feedback so far!



More than 20 organizations have indicated their participation, and I know
that a few more are still working in the background on contributing.



You can find more information on the campaign and how to upload data on
this webpage:

https://www.norsar.no/in-focus/global-das-monitoring-month-february-2023



I will update this somewhat regularly during February



You will find a list of events to share on the USGS website, which also
provides email notification.

The best might be to use the following link to get a JSON file


https://earthquake.usgs.gov/fdsnws/event/1/query.geojson?starttime=2023-02-01%2000:00:00&endtime=2023-02-28%2023:59:59&minmagnitude=5&orderby=time





Also remember that February 14th is not only Valentines day, but also *Global
DAS Day*, where we will try to gather 24h of continuous data! We also
intent to have an IRIS DAS-RCN webinar on that day. More information will
follow shortly.





Finally, I received some feedback that extracting down-sampled data in
native formats may be challenging for some. If you have such issue, you may
as well use the (discontinued) miniDAS
https://github.com/DAS-RCN/RCN_DASformat

The aim is to collect the variety of different formats out there. This
will help the data-format group to define the “best” common data format,
picking the best solutions from each!

You can also consider uploading data in its native sampling format.
However keep in mind that data storage at pubDAS is not unlimited, and it
also needs to be downloadable in a reasonable time.

If you have an estimate on how much data 150 event with 1h data with
produce, and if it is more than 4TB please contact me and Ƶack Spica
zspica<at>umich.edu





Thank you all for contributing to this campaign

The upload period for the Global DAS Month officially ends on March 31st (next Friday).
I understand that a few instruments are still out in the field, and upload may be delayed.

There was already some interest in using the data for publications (notably the Turkish earthquake). I would thus extent the deadline for upload until Apr 30.
To make sure your contribution will be part of the initial publication(s), please consider this new deadline.
