Introduction to SeisComP3

SeisComP3
 SeisComP3 History
2001 SeedLink was master's thesis
2003 Algerian M7. started automatic tools
2005 Seedlink & Arclink; GFZ, ORFEUS, BGZ,
INGV. Synchronize inventory.
2006 – SeisComP3 appears on the scene
2007 alpha/beta version - was operative from the
beginning. stable! results used! Jakarta warning

 SeisComP3 Components
There are 3 parts of SeisComP3, and
they’re covered by 3 different licenses.

Metadata
Arclink
GNU Public QuakeML is the standard that the
License
SeisComP3 database schema is
based on.
To populate the database:
Inventory XML (sometimes called
Station XML)
Dataless SEED volume
Station XML (called fdsnxml in SC3)
Nettab or tab

Acquisition
Hardware data
sources and
public data feeds
Acquisition: Waveforms
SeedLink
Arclink
GNU Public Seedlink acquires and stores some
License
number of minutes of waveform data
data. Seedlink servers can connect to
other seedlink servers as well as
many digitizers. Realtime processing
depends on these waveforms.

Arclink serves long-term storage.
Data is stored in the file system via
slarchive in Miniseed format. The
seedlink
Arclink tool retrieves waveform spans by
port slowly reading Miniseed from disk.
