Abstract | On February 27, 2010 the second largest earthquake of the 21th century happened in Central Chile. Therefore, during leg SO209-2, from 18. – 21 September 2010 thirty Ocean Bottom Seismometers (OBS) were deployed in the main rupture area between 33° and 36° S. During leg SO212 from 22. to 26 December 2010, these instruments were recovered, starting from Talcahuano and ending the cruise in Valparaiso. The EM120 was used continuously during cruise SO212, but occasionally stopped during release attempts of OBS and for maintenance. |
