JWEED 3.1 - new release
JWEED is a powerful, event-oriented data access tool.
Using JWEED a person can obtain event-oriented waveforms from any institution which implements Data Handling Interface (DHI) services. Using WMS mapping tools, a user can find desired earthquakes, locate responding stations, and download waveforms directly to their computer. Waveforms can be viewed on screen and saved to SAC and miniSEED data files. Version 3.1 is available for download here.
Request Event Data Using WILBER
WILBER II allows you to select from a catalog of events for which the DMC has SPYDER® and/or FARM data products (waveforms). FARM products become available 6 weeks to 3 months after the event and are easily accessed using WILBER II.
