The twenty-seven-station digital short-period (1 Hz) Syrian National Seismological Network utilizing a combination of radio-frequency (RF) and land-line (LL) telephone telemetry was installed and has been operational since 14 January 1995. Augmenting the seismic network is a twenty-station network of three-component digital accelerographs commissioned at the same time as the seismic network. The spatial distribution of both networks covers most of western Syria from north to south. The network's design criteria were to monitor all discernable earthquake activity along the Dead Sea fault system (DSFS) and its related branches in Syria and nearby Lebanon (Figure 1).
