GEOFON Extended Virtual Network - GEVN

To fullfill its global earthquake monitoring task, data from the permanent GEOFON network and from many of its partner networks as well as from other public networks in Europe and worldwide are collected over Internet, forming the so-called GEOFON Virtual Network (GEVN, see a map here). Broad-scale real-time data exchange within Europe (Virtual European Seismic Network (VEBSN)) is mainly an achievement of the EC projects MEREDIAN and NERIES, coordinated by ORFEUS and based mainly on GFZ developments and initatives, globally by the FDSN (Federation of Digital Seismograph Networks) . The GFZ earthquake information service has therefore to be regarded as a joint effort of all involved institutions and credit has to be given to all of them. SeedLink real-time data feeds are mostly provided directly by the individual network data centers. However, data feeds for BE, BS, NO, NS, SS networks are obtained from the ORFEUS Data Centre (De Bilt, Netherlands), data feeds from CU, GT, IC, JP, MS, MY, US are retrieved from the IRIS Data Management Center (Seattle, USA), which acts also as the data center for the FDSN backbone network.
