In this work, we examined the telemetry delay within the Central Weather Bureau Seismic Network (CWBSN) from 1991 to 2011 and found that the timing systems, at most of the stations in the CWBSN, could contain an approximate 0.2 sec telemetry delay. Based on our results, the telemetry delay was found to cause a 0.2 sec shift in earthquake origin times during the earthquake location process. However, the delay may not cause a significant difference in earthquake location results.Earthquake; Earthquake location; Seismic network; Taiwanjournal article10.3319/tao.2011.11.29.01(t)2-s2.0-84861801893
