Short summary

Greek seismic data are invaluable to global databases. Recordings from stations on rock (i.e. not soft deposits) are needed in seismology in order to define reference ground conditions and ground motions, which serve as the basis for all hazard calculations. However, very little knowledge exists on how rock stations in Greece behave. This is the first time the network of the National Observatory is studied systematically and multiparametrically to reveal the most adequate reference stations.
