If IRIS is not satisfied that appropriate conditions and assurances have been met for the return of both data and instruments, then PASSCAL may elect not to support the experiment.
Modify PASSCAL Instrument Use Policy to request permission from PIs to allow DMC/UW to pick seismic arrival times on archived data at the DMC. Provide documentation stating that picks are used for quality control and to augment International Seismological Centre (ISC) data.
PASSCAL strongly encourages PIs to allow data picking from PASSCAL-supported experiments.
Committee recommends that USArray FA should continue to purchase spread-spectrum radios, cell modems, etc. for data telemetry until such time as VSAT or other options become a more viable option for routine telemetering operations.
PSC endorses the pursuit of an MRI proposal for Antarctic facilities development.
PSC will form working group to examine active source data processing efforts.
PSC will form working group to examine wait time for PASSCAL broadband instruments.
