Thread: Requesting mseed data from IRIS for MB (Montana) network

Hi Rick,


This may be a silly question, but it seems like I need to use Perl in order to run and use the FetchData script. Is this correct?


Thank you,

Ellen

Hello Ellen-
Thanks for your email and question- and the short answer is yes, there is a way.
But to make it easier on you, this will still need to be a 2-pass process.


* I recommend you do the download of all MB network data first using the

FetchData script. This utility can be downloaded from

but you may want to read the Wiki with examples.

* Once you have downloaded the data, you can use the “dataselect” program to subset the data into the filename convention you require.
* Refer to the download of dataselect page https://github.com/iris-edu/dataselect and then look at the manual under “Archive Format” section of the Manual https://github.com/iris-edu/dataselect/blob/master/doc/dataselect.md#archive-format

Hi,

I need to download .mseed raw waveform data for the Montana Network. I am wondering if there is a way to download this data through the command line on Unix/Linux. I am trying to only download the data at an hour at a time using the format YYYYMMDDHHMMSS.ALMT.001.HHZ.mseed. YYYY is the year, MM is the month, DD is the day, HH is the hour, MM is the minute, SS is the second, ALMT is the name of the station, 001 is the location, HHZ is the channel, and .mseed is the file type. I need to download this data for all of the Montana stations.

Is there an efficient way to do this?

Thank you,
Ellen
