About SPUD

SPUD Version 3.0

The Searchable Product Depository (SPUD) is the IRIS DMC's primary data product management system. Complementing the DMC's SEED and assembled data archives, which contain time series recordings, the SPUD system primarily contains derivative data products of other types (images, movies, etc.) created either at the DMC or by members of the community.

For users SPUD is the query and access point for these products. The web interfaces allow users to search for products using customized queries across product and event details. Users can search across all product types at once or within specific product types. SPUD also has web service interfaces for programmatic discovery and access to the data products.

If any products from SPUD are used in your research please be sure to cite the identified author of the product and the IRIS DMS [Citation Information].

Overview
Shear-wave splitting measurements for western and central United States is a teleseismic shear-wave splitting (SWS) database based on all the data from all the broadband seismic stations in North America that contains over 15,000 pairs of well-defined (and manually checked) SWS measurements for the western and central United States (west of 90°W).

Shear-wave splitting measurements for western and central United States

Most of the measurements below (version 1308) are described in the following publications:

The columns in database are:

c1: Station_network name. The station name is padded with "x"s if it has less than 6 characters, and the network name is padded with a "y" 
	if it has only one character

c2: Phase name (SKS, PKS, SKK which is SKKS) 

c3: Event name (EQ + yr + ddd + hh + mm)

c4: Station latitude in deg.

c5: Station longitude in deg.

c6). Fast polarization direction in degree, measured clockwise from the North

c7). The standard deviation of the fast direction in degree

c8). Splitting time in second

c9). The standard deviation of the splitting time in second

c10). Back azimuth, measured clockwise from the North.

c11). Modulo-90 degree back-azimuth

c12). Event latitude

c13). Event longitude

c14). Event depth

c15). Measurement quality

c16). Longitude of XKS raypiercing point at 200 km depth

c17). Latitude of XKS raypiercing point at 200 km depth
