The German Regional Seismic Network (GRSN) consists of seismological stations equipped with 3-component broadband seismometer and digital data aquisition system. The recorded data are directly transmitted to the data center at BGR Hannover and made available to the public near realtime. The GML file together with a Readme.txt file are provided in ZIP format (GRSN-INSPIRE.zip). The Readme.text file (German/English) contains detailed information on the GML file content. Data transformation was proceeded by using the INSPIRE Solution Pack for FME according to the INSPIRE requirements.
The German Earthquake Catalogue is based on a database providing information on the seismicity in Germany an adjacent areas. It contains locations of seismic events since year 800 where their epicentre determinations are based on historical sources as well as on measurements at seismometer stations since the start of instrumental seismological recording in the 20th century. Today, digital data acquisition at seismometer stations of the German regional seismic network (GRSN), the seismic GERES array, and the Gräfenberg array (GRF) takes place. All events with a local magnitude ML 2.0 and higher are listed. The GML file together with a Readme.txt file are provided in ZIP format (GERSEIS-INSPIRE.zip). The Readme.text file (German/English) contains detailed information on the GML file content. Data transformation was proceeded by using the INSPIRE Solution Pack for FME according to the INSPIRE requirements. Due to the continuous processing of the seismic events, the INSPIRE dataset is updated annually.
The WMS GERSEIS (INSPIRE) represents the seismological events of the German Earthquake Catalogue which is based on a database providing information on the seismicity in Germany and adjacent areas. It contains locations of seismic events since year 800 where their epicentre determinations are based on historical sources as well as on measurements at seismometer stations since the start of instrumental seismological recording in the 20th century. Today, digital data acquisition at seismometer stations of the German regional seismic network (GRSN), the seismic GERES array, and the Gräfenberg array (GRF) takes place. All events with a local magnitude ML 2.0 and higher are listed. Due to the continuous processing of the seismic events, the INSPIRE dataset is updated annually. The WMS GERSEIS (INSPIRE) contains a layer of the seismological events (NZ.ObservedEvent) displayed correspondingly to the INSPIRE portrayal rules. Via the getFeatureInfo request the user obtains the content of the INSPIRE attributes unitsOfMeasure, qualitativeValue, quantitativeValue, validFrom and intensityScale (short name of citation of the intensity scale).
Der Datenbestand, der dem Web Map Service (WMS) zugrunde liegt, liefert Informationen zum seismischen Geschehen in Deutschland und benachbarten Gebieten. Er beinhaltet die Orte, an denen seit dem Jahr 800 seismische Ereignisse stattfanden. Grundlage für die Epizentrumsbestimmung sind historische Quellen sowie seit Beginn der instrumentellen Erdbebenaufzeichnung im 20. Jahrhundert Messungen mit Seismometerstationen. Die digitale Datenerfassung an den Seismometerstationen des Deutschen Regionalnetzes (GRSN) sowie den Messanlagen des GERES-Arrays und des Gräfenberg-Arrays (GRF) und die Echtzeitübetragung der registrieten Seismometerdaten zum Seismologischen Zentralobservatorium der BGR gestattet es heute, seismische Ereignisse unverzüglich zu detektieren, auszuwerten und im WMS bereitzustellen. Es werden alle Ereignisse mit einer lokalen Magnitude ML 2,0 oder höher dargestellt. Die Epizentrumsbestimmung erfolgt zunächst automatisch. Daher kann es in einigen Fällen zu fehlerhaften Epizentrumskoordinaten und zu überschätzten Magnitudewerten kommen. Aus diesem Grund werden die Ergebnisse der automatischen Bestimmung im Rahmen einer manuellen Routineauswertung in der Regel am folgenden Werktag überprüft und gegebenenfalls korrigiert.
Der Dienst stellt die Gebiete geophysikalischer Untersuchungen, unterteilt in die einzelnen Messverfahren Geoelektrik, Geomagnetik, Gravimetrie, Seismik sowie die Stationen der Erdbebenüberwachung dar. Die Informationen zu den geophysikalischen Untersuchungen beinhalten Angaben zum Gebiet, Zeitraum der Messungen, Ergebnisberichte und Bezeichnungen der Ablage im Fachinformationssystem Geophysik. Die seismologischen Überwachungsstationen in Sachsen-Anhalt enthalten Informationen zu Namensraum und Identifikation, Plattform- und Stationstyp, den Rang der Station in überregionalen Messnetzen und Links auf Aufzeichnungsergebnisse und Dokumentationsseiten zum Verbundsystem. Messdaten sind nicht Bestandteil dieser Datensätze.
The Seismicity Catalog Collection is a compilation dataset on over four million earthquakes dating from 2150 BC to 1996 AD from NOAA's National Geophysical Data Center and U.S. Geological Survey's National Earthquake Information Center. The data include information on epicentral time of origin, location, magnitudes, depth and other earthquake-related parameters. This database is static and is no longer being updated. The CD collection was a compilation of all of the earthquake catalogs, both US and non-US, in the National Geophysical Data Center (NGDC) archive available in 1996. The purpose was to provide users with access to all the seismicity data in one place. Data can be accessed through the GeoVu data access and visualization software included on the CDs. This software allows visualization of pre-computed histograms as well as reformatting of data files to a format specified by the user. Many of the more popular data bases are available in several different formats so the user will not have to reformat large data bases. Files can be formatted for use on IBM PCs, Macs, or UNIX machines. Format information, data dictionary and statistical information are also included. A bibliography of earthquake-related materials at NCEI and the Summary of Earthquake Data Base (KGRD-21) are included on the CD-ROM. NOAA and NCEI make no warranty, expressed or implied, regarding these data, nor does the fact of distribution constitute such a warranty. NOAA and NCEI cannot assume liability for any damages caused by any errors or omissions in these data. If appropriate, NCEI can only certify that the data it distributes are an authentic copy of the records that were accepted for inclusion in the NCEI archives. This dataset has been archived in the framework of the PANGAEA US data rescue initiative 2025.
