The article offers information regarding the seismic observations at Syowa Station in East Antarctica in 2010 and provides a list of detected teleseismic earthquakes and scaled read-out travel-time data. It states that the seismic observations were carried out through short-period seismometer (HES) and a three-component broadband seismometer. It adds that the phase arrival-time events was detected on HES, and were identified through the comparison of observed travel-time and calculated time.

The article presents seismic observations of Syowa Station in Antarctica in 2009, as well as provisions read-out travel-time data and a list of detected teleseismic earthquakes prepared by Yusuke Murakami and Masaki Kanao of the 50th Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition (JARE-50). Two types of seismometers were used in carrying out seismic observations at Syowa Station, a short-period seismometer (HES) and a three-component broadband seismometer (STS-1) with a digital recording system. Arrival-time information of major seismic phases, using waveform data transmitted via International Satellite Service (INTELSAT) is regularly sent to the U.S. Geologic Survey (USGS)/National Earthquake Information Center (NEIC) through email for Preliminary Determination for Epicenters (PDE) bulletins.

The article highlights the seismic observations made at the Syowa Station in Antarctica in 2007. The observations were maintained throughout the season of the 48th Japanese Research Expedition (JARE-48). The two types of seismometers that have been used for the seismic observations were the short-period seismometer (HES) and the three-component broadband seismometer with digital recording system. The digitization of the three-component analogue outputs by HES were done by sampling frequency by a 24-bit analog-to-digital (A/D) converter, generation of triggered signals of 80 and 1 hertz and 20 hertz continuous output.

The article highlights the seismic observations made at the Syowa Station in Antarctica in 2006. The observations were maintained throughout the season of the 47th Japanese Research Expedition (JARE-47). The two types of seismometers that have been used for the seismic observations were the short-period seismometer (HES) and the three-component broadband seismometer with digital recording system. The digitization of the three-component analogue outputs by HES was done by sampling frequency by a 24-bit analog-to-digital (A/D) converter, generation of triggered signals of 80 and 1 hertz and 20 hertz continuous output.

The article offers updates on seismic observations made at Syowa Station in East Antarctica in 2005. Observations were started using a short-period seismometer in 1959. A long-period seismograph was also installed and phase readings of teleseismic events have been reported to the U.S. Geological Survey and to the International Seismological Center. Digital waveforms of both broadband and short-period seismographs have been transmitted via INMARSAT telecommunication link to the National Institute of Polar Research. For data transfer, the Unix-to-Unix Copy Program (UUCP) protocol has been employed. Several charts and diagrams showing findings of the observations made are presented.
