【 摘 要 】

In this work we estimate level of seismic noise at Kyrgyz Network's (KNET) high-mountain stations for 19 years of the time this network operated in real-time mode (1999-2017). To do that for each channel (E-west-east, N-south-north and Z-vertical, all with 100 Hz sample rate) of each station we made fifteen-minute (900 seconds) segments of seismic noise. We took such segments for different seasons (March, June, September, December) and for various times of day (00, 06, 12 and 18 hours UTC) for the whole 19 years. We analyzed probabilistic power spectral density heatmaps and found out some features of KNET's high-mountain station's operation. These features depend on season-wise weather changes. The worth month for all stations is September. In general, when weather is favorable these stations can be characterized as low-noise ones and their data may be used in various researches.
