PARTIAL SUPPORT OF THE INTERNATIONAL SEISMOLOGICAL CENTRE

0949072 Storchak这笔赠款用于支持国际地震中心（ISC）的持续运作。 ISC得到国际支持，所要求的预算基于赞助国的相对GDP，美国NSF的资金估计占ISC未来四年运营成本的21.4%。 国家科学基金的支助将用于继续出版《国际空间委员会公报》-这是关于地震震源、震级和震源机制、以及台站到达时间、振幅和其他测量结果的权威性全球摘要，并与现有的原始波形相联系。 国际科学委员会的国际支持和非政府地位使该中心能够从其他来源收集和自由传播数据。支持的具体任务包括：1）收集、自动合并和关联来自世界各地网络和数据中心（包括NEIC、EMSC、USAray、JMA等）的报告公告数据; 2）人工审查震源、相位读数和多个网络同时报告的约3.5级及以上事件的相关数据; 3）通过网络搜索、FTP、CD-ROM和印刷的ISC公告摘要分发ISC公告;（4）与世界地震学数据中心共同维持和加强国际地震台站登记处，丹佛（美国地质勘探局），并与数字地震仪网络联合会（FDSN）协调;和5）在IRIS DMC建立一个ISC数据库和网络设施镜像; 6）使用新开发的定位算法重新制作1960-2012年的整个ISC公报。 ISC公报支持全球地震学界对地球结构、地震物理学和地震灾害减轻进行基础研究。 《公报》还协助监测《全面禁止核试验条约》的执行情况。

0949072StorchakThis grant supports continued operations of the International Seismological Centre (ISC). The ISC is internationally supported and the requested budget is based on the relative GDPs of sponsor countries with funding from the U.S. NSF estimated at 21.4% of the ISC operational costs over the next four years. NSF support will provide for continued production of the ISC Bulletin - the definitive global summary of earthquake hypocentres, magnitudes and source mechanisms, as well as station arrival times, amplitudes and other measurements with links to original waveforms where available. The international support and non-governmental status of the ISC allows the Centre to collect and freely distribute data from otherwise unavailable sources. Specific tasks to be supported include: 1) collection, automatic merging and association of reported bulletin data from networks and data centers around the world, including NEIC, EMSC, USArray, JMA etc; 2) manual review of hypocentres, phase readings, and related data for events simultaneously reported by several networks approximately of magnitude 3.5 and above; 3) distribution of the ISC Bulletin by means of the web-search, ftp, CD-ROMs and the printed ISC Bulletin Summary; 4) maintenance and enhancement of the International Seismograph Station Registry jointly with World Data Center for Seismology, Denver (USGS) and in coordination with the Federation of Digital Seismograph Networks (FDSN); and 5) establishment of a ISC database and web facilities mirror at IRIS DMC; 6) re-production of the entire ISC Bulletin for 1960-2012 using a newly developed location algorithm. The ISC Bulletin supports the global seismology community for fundamental research on Earth structure, earthquake physics and earthquake hazards mitigation. The Bulletin also aids in monitoring of the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty.***
