BDSN Continuous and Triggered Broadband Waveform data from Northern California Earthquake Data Center

[Adapted from Berkeley Digital Seismic Network (BDSN) Overview: "quake.geo.berkeley.edu/bdsn/bdsn.overview.html"] The Berkeley Digital Seismic Network (BDSN) is one of several networks of seismic instrumentation in northern and central California operated by the Berkeley Seismological Laboratory. The BDSN is an array of high dynamic range, broadband seismometers with collocated strong-motion accelerometers. Data from these stations are transmitted to UC Berkeley using continuous telemetry and are analyzed for earthquakes. 20 sites are currently operational and additional stations are planned.

Two other BDSN sites consist of strong-motion accelerometers. Data are available in Standard for the Exchange of Earthquake Data (SEED) format. Queries of the BDSN holdings may be made using SeismiQuery, "quake.geo.berkeley.edu/SeismiQuery/", a web-based tool that allows users to query the database for specific information about data availability as well as network, station and channel information.
