IRIS and the Federation of Digital Seismographic Networks (FDSN) are pleased to announce the publication of the first FDSN Station Book.
With the growth in the number of broadband stations within the FDSN, it has been difficult for independent seismologists to keep track of stations, instrumentation and dates of operation. In response to this need, various member networks of the FDSN coordinated efforts to produce the FDSN Station Book. A working group within the FDSN determined what information should be included and in what format it should be presented.
Each station entry has three main components. The first portion of the station page includes basic information about the location, parent organization, geology and who to contact to receive data. The next section lists current instrumentation, dates of operation, response and channel data, followed by historical information and comments. The last section includes photos and noise study graphs when available.
There are presently over 170 stations from 10 networks represented in the initial version of the Station Book. Due to the dynamic nature of the network, the Station Book has been produced for distribution as a three-ring binder to allow for updates.
The FDSN Station Book is the result of the cooperative efforts of all networks involved. Since its publication in February 1995, the contents have been transferred into an on-line version accessible through the IRIS DMC homepage on the World Wide Web (http://www.iris.washington.edu) . Due to the cost of production of the FDSN Station Book, IRIS can not distribute this publication free of charge. Included here is a copy of the Station Book order form. To order, send the requested information and a check to the IRIS DMC, attention Kris Skjellerup, 1408 NE 45th St., Suite 201, Seattle, WA. 98105
