Description:
European seismological observatories have undergone an impressive evolution
in the last 5 to 10 years. The result is a very dense, but patch-like coverage, with
seismic instruments operated by a multitude of different observatories. Providing the
research community with easy and rapid access to all of these waveform data poses a
significant challenge. An ongoing European Community-funded project,
Mediterranean-European Rapid Earthquake Data Information and Archiving Network
(MEREDIAN) aims to shape these national efforts into a European-Mediterranean
infrastructure for broadband waveform data exchange and archiving. One of the most
visible accomplishments of MEREDIAN is the Virtual European Broadband Seismograph
Network (VEBSN), with which (near) real-time data are gathered at the Observatories and
Research Facilities for European Seismology (ORFEUS) Data Center in De Bilt, The
Netherlands. (VEBSN is a major extension of the ORFEUS data collection infrastructure.)
Continuously improving and expanding at a rapid pace, the VEBSN has now been
successfully operating for nearly 2 years.
