This report describes the research activities carried out at NORSAR under Contract No. F08650-01-0-0055 for the period 1 January-30 June 2002. In addition, it provides summary information on operation and maintenance (O&M) activities at the Norwegian National Data Center (NDC) during the same period. Research actvities described in this report, as well as transmission of selected data to the United States NDC, are funded by the United States Department of Defense. The O&M activities, including operation of transmission links within Norway and to Vienna, Austria, are being funded jointly by the CTBTO/PTS and the Norwegian Government, with the understanding that the funding of IMS-related activities will gradually be transferred to the CTBTO/PTS. The O&M statistics presented in this report are included for the purpose of completeness, and in order to maintain consistency with earlier reporting practice. The seismic arrays operated by the Norwegian NDC comprise the Norwegian Seismic Array (NOA), the Norwegian Regional Seismic Array (NORES), the Arctic Regional Seismic Array (ARCES) and the Spitsbergen Regional Array (SPITS). This report also presents statistics for additional seismic stations which through cooperative agreements with institutions in the host countries provide continuous data to the NORSAR Data Processing Center (NDPC). These stations comprise the Finnish Regional Seismic Array (FINES), the Hagfors array in Sweden and the regional seismic array in Apatity, Russia. The original document contains color images. All DTIC reproductions will be in black and white.
