Stations recording data during a specific event

Q:  I need to know which stations were recording data during a specific event. How do I do that?

A: 

SeismiQuery

Select the ‘timeseries’ tab in SeismiQuery. You need only set a time period and wildcard the network (using the % sign as the wildcard character) and the rest of the parameters will be "wildcarded" for you. As a result, you can view a graph or table of all stations/channels for which data was archived during the specified time period. (It uses the GOAT tool to display information.) If you just want to see timeseries information for a specific station or network, use the ‘station’ or ‘network’ tab, respectively. The result from either of those two queries is a yearly calendar with days of data availability highlighted and linked to a more complete timeseries table.

JWEED

Select an event in the JWEED tool and query for station data around that event.  You can view seismograms for the recording stations in the tool.

WILBER

Select a large earthquake in WILBER and view the networks and stations in the web browser pages.  You can also preview seismic plots and create record section plots of specific stations.

Web Services

The ws/availability web service can tell you which stations have data during a particular point in time.
