This European overview (including a map) aims at facilitating access to BB waveform data. It is based on information provided by European network and data center operators and complements the European-Mediterranean Observatory overview. If you are a network operator and would like to see you data center listed or modified, please, contact or

Profiles of data centers outside the European-Mediterranean area are maintained by IRIS-DMC.
