E-mail : [email protected] In the period 2002-2006 the Istituto
Nazionale di Oceanografia e di Geofisica Sperimentale (OGS) in
Udine (Italy), the Zentralanstalt fr Meteorologie und Geodynamik
(ZAMG) in Vienna (Austria), the Dipartimento di Geoscienze (DiG) of
the Trieste University in Trieste (Italy), the Agencija Republike
Slovenije za okolje (ARSO) in Ljubljana (Slovenia) and the
Protezione Civile della Regione Autonoma Friuli Venezia Giulia
(PCFVG) in Palmanova (Italy) were involved in the EU INTERREG IIIA
project Seismological Networks Without Frontiers in the
Southeastern Alps. ZAMG is involved in the EU INTERREG IIIA project
FASTLINK, together with the Protezione Civile della Provincia
autonoma di Bolzano (Italy) and the ETH of Zurigo (Swizerland). The
commercial Antelope-software suite from BRTT (Boulder Real Time
Technologies - www.brtt.com) has been chosen as the common basis
for real time data exchange, rapid location of earthquakes and
alerting. Each institute contributes to the seismological
monitoring in the South-Eastern Alps by sharing data from its
seismic network. Antelope is a powerful software suite that easily
allows sharing data in real-time among several institutions by
means of its module orb2orb. The current Antelope setup of all
institutions involved in data acquisition, sharing and archiving is
described, together with the future evolution of the project. The
border region of Slovenia, Austria and NE Italy has experienced
several destructive earthquakes in the past. Different seismic
networks are operating in the area supporting monitoring, alerting
and research. The example of recent strong earthquakes demonstrated
that the integration of services provided by the neighboring
networks is essential for a rapid and efficient intervention.
SUMMARY Antelope @ OGS Earthquake detection and notification BRTT
Antelope CRS procedures REFERENCES The Antelope-software suite is
used at OGS - CRS as the main data acquisition tool by the Seismic
Network run by OGS in Northeast Italy. The main OGS-CRS Antelope
server is running in Udine on a 2 nodes SUN-Fire-V240 cluster: the
main module takes care of data acquisition, automatic location
determination, data archiving and exchange, plus the alert system
via Short Message Service (SMS), email, fax and web. For Antelope
users, real time data from the OGS Seismic Stations is available at
address antelope.crs.inogs.it:51558. Another Linux workstation
running Antelope (antelope-wks) at the OGS-CRS headquarters in
Udine is used for post-processing including ShakeMaps and manual
relocation determinations. Data is also forwarded for redundancy to
a SUN-Fire-V245 Antelope machine (antogs) at Protezione Civile
della Regione autonoma Friuli-Venezia Giulia (Civil Protection of
the Friuli- Venezia Giulia region) headquarters in Palmanova and
for convenience to a Linux Antelope machine (antelope-crsts) at OGS
headquarters in Trieste. Data from the Antelope SUN-Fire-V240
cluster at OGS-CRS headquarters in Udine are also forwarded to the
OGS-CRS seedlink server that runs under SeisComP on the same
machine: this data is available on request. Bragato P.L., Costa G.,

the Antelope-software has been chosen 15 years ago as the main
acquisition system for the National Seismological Service of
Austria. Experience has shown, that the software can be easily
adapted to local needs and allows easy control of data transmission
processes and state-of-heath. Current developments involve the
inclusion of a sophisticated crustal model to improve the location
accuracy of seismic tremors on Austrian territory. The
Antelope-software is also used in the EC-funded Project HAREIA,
which also deals with installation of additional strong-motion
stations in the partner regions of Tyrol, South Tyrol, Veneto and
Friuli-Venezia Giulia. All stations will be monitored and the data
are being processed by the Antelope- software. Seismicity of the
South-Eastern Alps region (data from ARSO catalog). The rectangle
indicates the main historical events occurred in the area. Starting
from 2000 the DiG manages 2 duplicates Antelope installations, one
at DiG headquarters in Trieste and the second one at the SOR
(Emergency room of the PCFVG headquarters in Palmanova). Both
system run on high-availability SUN workstations. Thank to the
facility in adapting the system to the users needs, new real-time
procedures have been developed, both for civil protection purposes
(alert system: e-mail, sms, WEB, etc.) and for scientific research.
In particular, a procedure for a fast automatic Mw computation and
ground motion parameters (PGA, PGV, PSA03, PSA10, PSA30, Arias and
Housner) extraction has been written using perl and fortran90
Antelope interfaces (Gallo et al. 2010). A regional calibration of
real-time ShakeMaps has been also implemented (Moratto et al.,
2009). The Antelope software is also used to manage the DiG
stations of the NE Italy Broadband Network and the accelerometric
stations of the RAF*-RAN** integrated network (Costa et al., 2010)
in Friuli Venezia Giulia, and to manage the relative accelerometric
database. In addition to the connections with Interreg datacenters,
DiG exchanges regional accelerometric data with the Antelope system
running at the National Civil Protection headquarters in Rome and
the ground motion parametric data with INGV in Rome. Antelope
system is interfaced with SeisComP servers to exchange
seismological data with INGV both in Trieste and Palmanova. *)

Automatic real time earthquake solutions are used for quick
alerting while thorough analisys is done by manually picking the
seismograms with Antelopes dbpick program and locating with
Hypocenter (Lienert, 1994). There are automatic procedures
implemented for earthquake alerting and for data quality control by
email, sms and web. Automatic event determinations are made
available to the public through web page

Seismic data are being shared in real time with Orfeus data center,
with all the neighbouring countries and several other countries in
Europe. To improve data recovery, low-cost industrial computers are
being installed at seismic stations, running SeisComP and sending
data to Antelope powered backup data center which was set up
recently. Records of seismic stations within 100km from the
epicenter of the last damaging earthquake in Slovenia (2004/07/12

are dimmed. All the data were available in real time. Seismic data
exchange diagram. Network codes folow country names. Seedlink data
are being imported in Antelope ORB in real time. Relevant waveforms
are routinely being picked for better location determinations. The
intense collaboration among the seismological institutions involve
in the Interreg IIIa projects continues in the framework of the
Interreg IVa project HAREIA Historical and recent earthquakes in
Italy and Austria. One of the goals of the project is to integrate
the transfrontalier network with 12 new strong-motion stations
around the political borders, in order to monitor the faults which
generated the main historical events in the area.
