This seismometers are able to detect lower frequencies better then current seismometers around Eyjafjallaj\u00f6kull and Katla. This type of sensors are normally called broadband seismometers and have frequency range down to 0.001Hz and up to 60Hz. I do not know how far the sensors that BSG did cost. But I am going to assume that they go down a bit farther then IMO sensors in the area. According to R\u00fav the sensors are already up and where on-line earlier this year.<\/p>\n<p>They are located at following location.<br \/>\nM\u00e6lifellssandi not far from Slysa\u00f6ldu, Rj\u00fapnafell east of M\u00fdrdalsj\u00f6kul, two are located both sides of Eyjafjallaj\u00f6kull on \u00c1s\u00f3lfssk\u00e1lahei\u00f0i at south and Smj\u00f6rgili at north not far from G\u00edgj\u00f6kli glacier. Fifth sensor is going to be set-up in P\u00e9tursey in M\u00fdrdal. The location of the six sensors has not been decided yet.<\/p>\n<p>The cost of this project is about 100.000 pound according to R\u00fav. <\/p>\n<p>The reason for this is that authorities in UK (and Europe) want to get more warning if there is a big eruption in Katla volcano. Mostly to prevent the air chaos that took place when Eyjafjallaj\u00f6kull erupted earlier this year.<\/p>\n<p>Five sensors where in the area before. The sensor net is going to be really sensitive when the new sensors go on-line at <a href=\"http:\/\/en.vedur.is\/#tab=skjalftar\">IMO headquarters<\/a> in Reykjav\u00edk. But more sensors give more accurate location of earthquakes, both in depth and location.<\/p>\n<p>The news from R\u00fav in Icelandic.
