Glass Buttes, Lake County, Oregon
GBLCO is a remote and quiet site in the high desert of Central Oregon, about 7 miles away from the nearest major road. A Yuma-2 FBV seismometer has been deployed here in an underground vault. Operating off-grid, the site is powered by solar panels. It streams real-time measurements over an LTE modem to a cell tower on top of Glass Butte.
The data acquisition and control system is based on hardware built around a Beaglebone and several custom capes.
Live MiniSEED data is streamed over an encrypted channel to a remote ringserver where it is archived and processed. Every 10 minutes new seismic plots are generated and uploaded to a public website. These plots include helicorders, spectrograms, and seismometer health status. A private Grafana front-end provides real-time monitoring of the solar battery charger, network, and GPS timing.
