balance, a piecewise linear vertical gradient of air temperature, and neglecting the effects of water
vapour. Pressure, p, as a function of height can then be derived through vertical integration of the
hydrostatic balance equation, and is given by

was deployed and together with the permanent NNSN stations in that area it contained 33+
stations within span 350 x 200 km. About 1250 earthquakes of M>0.0 was recorded during the project
period and new map of seismicity of that area was retrieved.
The main aim of the project is to reveal the stress field in that particular region and therefore

adverse event occurring and a measure of the
associated event. Larger consequence and larger
probability lead to a larger overall risk (e.g. Risk =
Probability x Damage)
