SHORT HISTORY
'CRes@ statieFls aFe part sf a fiet SIll"ISliflaiRg the tiTS (I euada Test Site). They are used for recording scheduled explosions
and do not operate "II the lime. Stations are reillotely controlled frolll NTS. Data are not available to the public. At tillles
data are recorded on a 24-hour basis by the USGS in Las Vegas. The USGS records the short-period vertical channels at high gains
using their own timing and recording systems.
