Station Information

Location: Okmok volcano, Alaska Installation Date: July/August 2021 (AVERT project) Instrumentation:
  • Tallysman VeraChoke 6100 GNSS antenna
  • AlertGeomatics Resolute Polar receiver
  • Monument type not specified in documentation
Data Collection:
  • Position data recorded at two rates: 30 s (standard) and 1 s (high rate)
  • High-rate data only telemetered during events of specific interest to minimize bandwidth consumption
Network Role:
  • Part of the expanded GNSS network at Okmok volcano
  • Helps constrain the depth and parameters of the deformation source
  • Contributes to the doubling of GNSS sites from pre-2022 levels
Site Characteristics:
  • Located on Umnak Island in the central Aleutian Arc
  • “Closed-system” volcano with cycles of inflation and deflation
  • Currently re-inflating since last eruption in 2008
  • Site equipped with radome to protect from elements
Data Access: Additional Infrastructure:
  • Co-located with broadband seismometer
  • Part of AVO permanent monitoring network
