Description
The VELI instrumented site, accredited by INSU-CNRS in 2009, aims to develop long-term observatory activities on explosive Indonesian volcanoes. Mount Merapi (Central Java) is the primary target, with the deployment of a comprehensive monitoring platform integrating geophysical and geochemical measurements, including seismicity, ground deformation, electrical and thermal parameters, and gas flux and composition.
The multidisciplinary database initially developed within the DOMERAPI ANR project (2013–2017) has been maintained and expanded by VELI for over a decade. It is fully integrated into the monitoring network of BPPTKG and CVGHM, supporting both operational monitoring and scientific research.
Ensuring data and metadata quality is a critical step linking operational monitoring to research applications. To address this need, we developed validation protocols and automated tools for GNSS and seismic data distribution, in compliance with international standards and FAIR principles. These tools provide near real-time data quality control and station health assessment, detect and monitor station site effects, and generate statistical diagnostics on instrumentation performance and metadata consistency.
By filling a current gap in standardized validation procedures, these adaptable tools aim to support data distribution for observatories, agencies, and end users. They are currently being implemented at the volcanological and seismological observatories of IPGP. Future developments include large-scale deployment across approximately 300 volcanic monitoring stations operated by CVGHM in Indonesia.
