22. NEPTUNE Canada and the Military Low frequency data from broadband instruments will flow all the timeLow frequency data from broadband instruments will flow all the time High frequency seismic data from all seismometers may be embargoed at certain times (0.8Hz)High frequency seismic data from all seismometers may be embargoed at certain times (0.8Hz) Tests were conducted after deployment to determine embargo criteria (Sep.-Nov.)Tests were conducted after deployment to determine embargo criteria (Sep.-Nov.) Once set up, automatically picked phases and hypocenters from ridge events will flow all the timeOnce set up, automatically picked phases and hypocenters from ridge events will flow all the time

24. Data flow from NEPTUNE Canada seismographs (2010) Once calibrated, seismic data will be archived at IRIS the Geological Survey of Canada. Associated data: hydrophone, current meter, pressure gauge will be archived at NEPTUNE Canada. Automatic earthquake solutions from the ridge will be sent in real time to NEPTUNE Canada and the Geological Survey of Canada.
