Technical Information

The QuakeExplorer Earthquake Browser and Analysis Tool accesses seismic event and trace-description information stored locally or on the Internet in a QuakeExplorer database, or parameteric information from a SeisComP SeedLink server.

The QuakeExplorer database does not contain any trace data files; instead it conatains links to these files. QuakeExplorer uses the trace file links to allow visualisation, analysis and downloading of the traces. The actual trace data files may reside locally or on the Internet, at one or more data providers (data centers, networks, stations, CD-ROM,...).
