    by

    Seismic data from stations set up in member states share data with the regional and global networks. To enable seismic data sharing into the regional networks (RIMES/IRIS), a dataless SEED volume that contains the station’s metadata, and the national center’s SEEDLink server’s public IP address are shared to the regional networks. Restrictions for IP addresses…

    by

    The Least Developed Countries and Small Island Developing States in the region, although disproportionately affected by climate impacts, have significant gaps in observation systems and lack resources and institutional mechanisms to address the gap. Non-GTS (Global Telecommunication System) data are shared by RIMES member states through regional data sharing mechanisms to ensure the availability of…

    Most seismic data have been integrated into national networks by data transmission via cellular telemetry to the Apollo server located at the national data center, except for RM-SZP which uses satellite telemetry. The Apollo server is a platform for consolidating continuous real-time data seismic waveform, state-of-health data, and log files using Nanometrics Protocol (NP) or…
