SEED volumes on WILBER
The intention is to replace the
SPEED access to
the SEED data by
ORFEUS Wilber.
Consequently, the ODC-volumes for 1992 - 1995 are presently available through WILBER.
Note: Please note that we plan to replace old Spyder® data as new
quality controlled SEED data becomes available. Old data in Spyder®
from stations in the European-Mediterranean area are replaced by quality controlled
SEED data. Old Spyder® data from stations not in the region are
replaced by quality controlled data available at IRIS.
Any comments or suggestions, please, contact:
Bernard Dost or
Läslo Evers.
