ORFEUS Observatories & Research Facilities for European Seismology


ORFEUS is the non-profit foundation to coordinate and promote digital, broadband seismology in the European-Mediterranean area.

EIDA is the European Integrated Data Archive infrastructure within ORFEUS to provide access to seismic waveform data in European archives.

Due to the present seismic activities in the Aegean Sea the number of requests for data download for seismic stations in that region have exploded and placed intense pressure on the EIDA services. We are aware that certain requests for Greek networks are failing or are severely delayed, in particular requests for large numbers of stations and long time windows. We thank users for their understanding and patience. Also, EIDA thanks the NOA EIDA node for their dedication to keep all the data open at this time of crisis. In the medium term, the EIDA team will continue to streamline services so that user numbers can scale in times of crisis.
