Data at NSF SAGE

Data Types
Time Series data
Continuous seismic instrument recordings from thousands of stations worldwide. This is the primary NSF SAGE archive.
Metadata
Includes information such as recording instrument characteristics and data quality; this is generally used to determine the time series data to request.
Event data
Catalog of 4 million+ events, this is useful in determining the timeframe for retrieving useful data.
Assembled data
Discrete collections of waveform data, generally recorded over a period of weeks or months. Assembled data are often active source, meaning that they include artificial seismic events such as explosive blasts intended to seismically map a given region.
Data products
Calculated datasets providing a higher-level view of the raw data. For example, the GMV product is an animated map showing ground movement across hundreds of stations during an earthquake.
Historical data
Scanned seismograms and other information from pre-digital sources.
Data Delivery
Web Services
This is the base delivery mechanism for most NSF SAGE data. It can be accessed directly, but a variety of convenient wrappers are available.
Application Programming Interfaces
APIs are available via Java, Matlab, and Python libraries, as well as command line fetch scripts.
