Acquisition of a Modern Computing and Communications Facility

这笔赠款提供69,900美元，作为国际地震中心（ISC）购买工作站、PC、硬盘和磁带驱动器大容量存储的部分费用支持。ISC是负责收集最终地震观测资料的国际组织，包括震源的解算和全球地震事件震级的计算。这些数据目前以硬拷贝和光盘两种形式发表在《国际地震委员会公报》和《区域地震目录》上。这种计算设备将使ISC能够制定通过因特网交互式分析和检索地震数据的常规程序，以便国际地震学界在研究深部地球结构和进行地震危险性评估时能够更迅速地获得可用的数据产品。＊＊＊

9708000 Hughes This grant provides $69,900 as partial support of the costs of acquiring workstations, PC's and hard disk and tape drive mass storage for the International Seismological Center (ISC). The ISC is the international organization charged with assembly of final seismological observations including solutions of hypocenters and calculations of magnitudes of global seismic events. These data are currently published in the Bulletin of the ISC and the Regional Catalogue of Earthquakes in both hard copy and on CD-ROM. This computational equipment will allow the ISC to develop routines for interactive analysis and retrieval of seismic data via the Internet so that the international seismological community can have more rapid access to available data products in their studies of deep Earth structure and for earthquake hazard assessment. ***
