Abstract

We evaluate the contribution of the Arkhangelsk seismic network to the recording of seismic events of the Arctic region. The evaluation is performed by means of the general analysis of the network seismic catalog, evaluation of the magnitude sensitivity, and comparative analysis of the Arkhangelsk network catalogs with NORSAR seismological data services and the Geophysical Service of the Russian Academy of Sciences. It is established that the Arkhangelsk network has a rather high sensitivity and records the intra-plate and inter-plate seismic activity in the Arctic Region. Due to the start of the seismic station operation on the Franz Josef Land Archipelago, there is a capability to record earthquakes, data on which are missing in the catalogs of well-known seismological data services.
