AB: The advent of the IRIS PASSCAL program has created many opportunities for seismologists to develop and deploy active and passive field experiments. Many of these experiments are either collocated with existing infrastructure such as regional, national, or global network stations. Some experiments benefit from the implementation of the PASSCAL wireless telemetry capability to send data in near real-time. In other cases, PASSCAL instrumentation is deployed in conjunction with Ocean Bottom Seismometers (OBS). In each of these cases, the best possible science resulted from combining all possible datasets together. We will demonstrate problems and solutions used in various experiments to build the best possible data and metadata from disparate sources. We will use the BOLIVAR passive seismic experiment as a case study, which included data from three different systems, PASSCAL Q330 dataloggers, UCSD OBSIP OBSs, and the Funvisis Nanometrics real-time network. We will also examine the appropriateness and the trade-offs for the use of real-time telemetry in temporary experiments include station uptime and network average uptime based on ten temporary deployments of the PASSCAL telemetry systems and the next generation USArray TA and FA systems.
