The GEOFON Extended Virtual Network
To fulfill 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 Extended Virtual Network (GEVN). Broad-scale real-time data exchange within Europe today is accomplished through the EIDA initiative. This grew out of the EC projects MEREDIAN, NERIES, and NERA coordinated by ORFEUS and based mainly on GFZ developments and initiatives, globally by the FDSN (Federation of Digital Seismograph Networks). The GFZ earthquake information service must therefore 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), and 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.
More information about the GEOFON Global Seismic Network (network code GE) is on our archived network information page.
Today 1211 stations from 97 seismic networks contribute to our real-time earthquake monitoring.
