Europe: waveform data >100 Seismological Observatoria in Europe and its surroundings (+ ~ 80 university and research institutes) Instrumentation and approximate number of stations: – Broadband (BB) ~ 500 (permanent) (not including arrays) – Very Long Period (VLP) ~ < 40 (permanent) and gravimeters – Short period (SP) ~ 1500 (permanent) – Ocean Bottom Seismometers (OBS) few – Acceleration (ACC) > 1000 – Mobile BB (Germany, France, UK, Switzerland, Netherlands, … ) > 300

Europe: waveform data exchange Organisation and international agreements: • Bilateral agreements • Project based agreements – Geofon (GFZ, Europe/Global), Med. Net (INGV, Euro. Med), Geoscope (IPGP, Global) • European scale agreement – ORFEUS (Multinational funded foundation) ORFEUS (with the FDSN) pursues free data exchange for research. Technologies (selection): • (Near) real-time data exchange – Seed. Link, Internet, VSAT, telephone, radio-link. • FTP – based mechanisms • Auto. DRM – email protocol (ETHZ) • In development and being implemented at ODC: – Web. DC (GFZ-WWW), DHI (IRIS-internet)

Europe: waveform data and funding • National observatories (France, Germany, Italy, Norway, Spain, Switzerland, UK, etc. ) – Usually (semi) governmental institutions. – Funding: national (risk) motives • Research projects (Geoscope(F), Geofon (D), Med. Net (I)) – Universities and (research) organisations projects – Funding: mainly national (national) research priorities • ORFEUS (European NGO - foundation) – BB data archiving and exchange coordination Euro. Med area – Funding: Corporate founders (13) and EC projects (EU) – EU emphasises applied research funding (security, environment) • IRIS DMC (American NGO ) – BB event data and continuous data (USA + core FDSN) – Funding: National, US National Science Foundation (NSF)

Towards a European seismological data infrastructure EC-projects and European strategy by ORFEUS and EMSC: Parameter and waveform data exchange (Auto. DRM): EMSC & KNMI/ORFEUS: Transfrontier (1994 -1997) Automatic parameter data exchange and European alerts: EMSC & KNMI/ORFEUS: Rapid warning (1996 -1998) European unified catalogue: EMSC: EPSI (2001 -2003) Continuous RT waveform data exchange and secure archiving: ORFEUS: MEREDIAN (2000 -2005) European core of comprehensive data availability: ORFEUS & EMSC: NERIES (2006– 2010)
