ORFEUS - Strong Motion Data

Strong Motion Data

The Rapid Raw Strong Motion (RRSM) is an entirely automated system that uses open data from EIDA. It provides earthquake information and strong motion parameters including PGA and PGV within minutes of any event.

The Engineering Strong-Motion database (ESM) is a reviewed archive of accelerometric waveforms from events with magnitudes above 4.0 recorded in Europe and the middle-East since 1969. It provides unprocessed acceleration time-series, manually processed acceleration, velocity, and displacement waveforms, acceleration and displacement response spectra, and other relevant engineering parameters.

More information on the strong motion services can be found here.

Rapid Raw Strong Motion RRSM

The RRSM portal exposes earthquake information, peak ground motion parameters, and response spectral amplitudes. Waveform data can be downloaded within minutes after an event exceeding magnitude 3.5 in the European-Mediterranean region.

Engineering Strong Motion ESM

ESM allows users to query earthquake and station information and download earthquake waveforms and response spectra for events with magnitudes above 4.0 recorded in the European-Mediterranean and the middle-East regions.
