Data Products

Data products derived from raw data are produced both by the scientific community and the IRIS DMC. These complement the simple data products based on raw data such as event segmented waveforms, which are available via the DMCs traditional data access mechanisms. Community guidance is for our product development efforts is provided by the Data Products Working Group; feedback, suggestions and input are welcome at any time.

SPUD Logo

Below is a list of products produced either at the DMC or by the research community that are available from the DMC. Many of these products are available in SPUD where you can easily search for and download products.

What is coming next? Check the product development list.

SeisSound, the Audio/Video Seismic Waveform Visualization

seissound

SeisSound is an audio/video-based data product that illustrates the temporal evolution of the frequency and amplitude content of a seismogram. Conveying the seismograms frequency content both visually and audibly produces a better understanding of the spectral content.

EARS - EarthScope Automated Receiver Survey

ears

The EarthScope Automated Receiver Survey (EARS) calculates bulk crustal properties of IRIS stations using receiver functions. Originally developed at the University of South Carolina, EARS continuously monitors for new events and stations updating the database when new candidate data are found.

EMERALD - a software framework for seismic event processing

pdfpsd

EMERALD is a complete open-source software server-based system for requesting and processing large sets of event based seismic data from a web browser. Data sets containing millions of seismic waveforms can easily be managed, reviewed, and processed. The system can automatically check for metadata updates, and alert the user to metadata changes.
