The IRIS Data Management Center • Most of the 152 terabytes are in miniSEED format • Metadata has been provided in dataless SEED format • The huge holdings are consistent and complete due to adherence to FDSN standards • Data from • >250 permanent seismic networks • ~500 temporary deployments • 16,152 stations • 2,249 stations in real time as of 2011
Three International Activities Supported by IRIS DMS • Metadata workshops • Annual cycle • moving from SE Asia, Africa Middle East, Latin America • Italy, Brazil, Malaysia, Egypt, Brazil, Thailand • Regional Exchange of Earthquake Data (REED) • Focus on solving data communication issues • Station to data center • Data center to Internet • Past and current efforts • Central Asia • SW Pacific Tsunami Task Group • Africa • Support for SeisComp-3 • Configuration GUI, installation simplification, StationXML
A Global Resource • The IRIS DMS is available to all seismologists at the same priority level • All data are open • There is no charge for any of IRIS services • Only one piece of software has limited distribution • Antelope only available to Full IRIS Members • SAC available to almost all seismologists
