Abstract

The National Network of Seismic Stations of Slovakia (NNSS) consists of eight short period and six broadband permanent seismic stations and a data centre located at the Earth Science Institute of the Slovak Academy of Sciences (ESI SAS). The NNSS recorded and detected 11229 seismic events from all epicentral distances in 2020. Totally 96 earthquakes originated in the territory of Slovakia in 2020. This paper provides basic information on the configuration of the NNSS, routine data processing, seismic activity on the territory of Slovakia in 2020 as well as macroseismic observations collected in 2020.
