fdsnws_scripts: a collection of next generation distributed data request tools based on FDSN web services and the EIDA routing service

fdsnws_scripts is a collection of next generation distributed data request tools that are based on FDSN web services and the EIDA routing service. You may use these tools to request - seismic waveform data, as mini-SEED, using the fdsnws-dataselect web service, - seismic metadata, as FDSN Station XML, using the fdsnws-station web service. - availability information, as JSON or POST format, using the fdsnws-availability web service. There are four tools here: - fdsnws_fetch can request waveform data or metadata, from multiple data centres (access points) with a single command. It does this using the EIDA routing service to discover which data centre(s) holds the data requested. - fdsnws2sds supports requests for larger amounts of data, saving it in an SDS tree-like file system structure (the SeisComP Data Structure). SDS is defined here. - fdsnws2seed provides full SEED and dataless SEED using EIDA FDSN web services. Modern applications should use FDSN StationXML instead of SEED. - fdsnavail lets the user interact with the new FDSN availability web service and compare to their local data holdings to find missing data.

Seismic test data and resolution analysis from the first borehole broadband seismometers at Mt. Etna, Sicily (Italy), as part of the SiC nano for PicoGeo project

In October 2021, GFZ installed together with INGV Catania, Iraci and ASIR Ltd (Advances Seismic Instrumentation & Research) the very first seismic borehole broadband seismometers at two selected sites at Mt. Etna, Sicily (see Fig. 1). The installation was completed under the EU-funded project ‘SiC nano for PicoGeo’ (http://www.picogeo.eu/). Site one is located next to the Astrophysical Observatory at Serra La Nave (SLN) and site two is located in the city of Mascalucia (MAS). At each site one borehole broadband seismometer was permanently installed (cemented) at approximately 70 m depth. In approx. 1-2m distance, a second ground-level borehole 4.5 Hz Geophone was temporarily installed (sanded) at 1 m depth until July 2022 (see Fig. 2). The ground-level geophones served as a local surface reference sensor to better evaluate the increase of signal quality from surface to depth. Test data were evaluated between October 2021 and July 2022. Sensor settings were adjusted during this time period to obtain the best possible data resolution at both test sites. This data publication compiles a segment of waveform recordings utilized for the assessment of data quality from the two installed broadband borehole seismometers, along with noise plots (Fig. 3-5) illustrating the enhancements in the data quality of frequency ranges compared to surface sensors at Mt. Etna.

EMEC-2021 - The European-Mediterranean Earthquake Catalogue – Version 2021

This catalogue is the extended version of “The European-Mediterranean Earthquake Catalogue (EMEC) for the last millennium” (Grünthal and Wahlstrom, 2012, 2012a). It is an earthquake catalogue for tectonic events in the broader European Mediterranean area. It reached from the Azores (Mid-Atlantic Ridge) in the west, to Africa north of the Sahara in the south, the Arctic Sea in the north, and the regions of Levant, eastern Turkey, and the Caucasus in the west. This areal coverage gave the name to the catalogue: EMEC—The European-Mediterranean Earthquake Catalogue. It extends the previous version (Grünsthal and Wahlström, 2012), by the years 2007 to 2021 and thus contains tectonic events for the period AD 1000 to 2021 with a uniform magnitude Mw from the threshold of 3.5. The dataset contains 71271 entries.

Seismological Monitoring using Interferometric Concepts (SeisMIC)

Monitoring Velocity Changes using Ambient Seismic Noise SeisMIC (Seismological Monitoring using Interferometric Concepts) is a python software that emerged from the miic library. SeisMIC provides functionality to apply some concepts of seismic interferometry to different data of elastic waves. Its main use case is the monitoring of temporal changes in a mediums Green's Function (i.e., monitoring of temporal velocity changes). SeisMIC will handle the whole workflow to create velocity-change time-series including: Downloading raw data, Adaptable preprocessing of the waveform data, Computating cross- and/or autocorrelation, Plotting tools for correlations, Database management of ambient seismic noise correlations, Adaptable postprocessing of correlations, Computation of velocity change (dv/v) time series, postprocessing of dv/v time series, plotting of dv/v time-series

This catalogue is the extended version of “The European-Mediterranean Earthquake Catalogue (EMEC) for the last millennium” (Grünthal and Wahlstrom, 2012, 2012). It is an earthquake catalogue for tectonic events in the area of European Mediterranean, including the Mid-Atlantic ridge down to the Azores, extends in the south to Africa north of the Sahara, in the north to the Arctic Sea, and in the east to the Levant, eastern Turkey, and the Caucasus. This areal coverage gave the name to the catalogue: EMEC—The European-Mediterranea Earthquake Catalogue. It extends the previous version by the years 2007 to 2021 and thus contains tectonic events for the period AD 1000 to 2021 with a uniform magnitude Mw from the threshold of 3.5. The dataset contains 61140 entries.

Petrographic Classification Table for the PetroPhysical Property Database P³

This data publication is part of the 'P³-Petrophysical Property Database' project, which has been developed within the EC funded project IMAGE (Integrated Methods for Advanced Geothermal Exploration, EU grant agreement No. 608553) and consists of a scientific paper, a full report on the database, the database as excel and .csv files and additional tables for a hierarchical classification of the petrography and stratigraphy of the investigated rock samples (see related references). This publication here provides a hierarchical interlinked petrographic classification according to standardized and internationally defined petrographic terms. The petrography or rock type classification scheme is structured based on a hierarchical subdivision with nine different ranks, where the rock description generally becomes more detailed with increasing rank of petrographic classification (based on the well database of the Geological Survey of Hessen, Germany: Hessisches Landesamt für Umwelt, Naturschutz, Umwelt und Geologie (HLNUG)).This hierarchical subdivision and the definitions of the petrographic terms are based on international conventions (e.g. Bates & Jackson 1987, Gillespie & Styles 1999, Robertson 1999, Hallsworth & Knox 1999, Bas & Streckeisen 1991, Schmid 1981, Fisher & Smith 1991). Furthermore, the classification corresponds to the subdivision provided by existing property data compilations such as e.g. Hantschel and Kauerauf (2009), Schön (2011), Rybach (1984) and Clauser and Huenges (1995). Petrographic classifications from rank 1 to rank 4 can usually be identified from macroscopic descriptions of well logs, cores and geological mapping. The petrographic classifications from rank 5 to rank 9 require additional information on the texture or grain size, the modal composition or the geochemistry etc., which can usually only be acquired by microscopic or comparable special investigations. Overall, the nine ranks cover a total of 1494 petrographic terms and thus goes well beyond other standardized catalogues (e.g. 'Simplified Lithology' in GeoSciML).The petrographic classification of a sample in P³ is based on the sample description within the original literature reference. A petrographic ID and a corresponding petrographic parental ID directly correlate the different classifications and their ranks.

Stratigraphic Classification Table for the PetroPhysical Property Database P³

This data publication is part of the 'P³-Petrophysical Property Database' project, which was developed within the EC funded project IMAGE (Integrated Methods for Advanced Geothermal Exploration, EU grant agreement No. 608553) and consists of a scientific paper, a full report on the database, the database as excel and .csv files and additional tables for a hierarchical classification of the petrography and stratigraphy of the investigated rock samples (see related references). This publication here provides a hierarchical interlinked stratigraphic classification according to the chronostratigraphical units of the international chronostratigraphic chart of the IUGS v2016/04 (Cohen et al. 2013, updated) according to international standardisation. As addition to this IUGS chart, which is also documented in GeoSciML, stratigraphic IDs and parent IDs were included to define the direct relationships between the stratigraphic terms.The P³ database aims at providing easily accessible, peer-reviewed information on physical rock properties relevant for geothermal exploration and reservoir characterization in one single compilation. Collected data include hydraulic, thermophysical and mechanical properties and, in addition, electrical resistivity and magnetic susceptibility. Each measured value is complemented by relevant meta-information such as the corresponding sample location, petrographic description, chronostratigraphic age and, most important, original citation. The original stratigraphic and petrographic descriptions are transferred to standardized catalogues following a hierarchical structure ensuring intercomparability for statistical analysis, of which the stratigraphic catalogue is presented here. These chronostratigraphic units are compiled to ensure that formations of a certain age are connected to the corresponding stratigraphic epoch, period or erathem. Thus, the chronostratigraphic units are directly correlated to each other by their stratigraphic ID and stratigraphic parent ID and can thus be used for interlinked data assessment of the petrophysical properties of samples of an according stratigraphic unit.

gfzreport - a Python tool and online text editor for creating any kind of report meeting GFZ requirements in HTML and PDF format

Preparation of technical reports can be unwieldy. However, a significant proportion of the document structure is often standardised. The GFZ Report Generator is a Python 2.7 application meant to ease this process by (i) automatically generating the standardised figures and tables, (ii) creating a report template pre-filled with this standard content, and which meets the GFZ style requirements, and (iii) providing a browser-based GUI with a text editor where users can add content to the report, generate and inspect the HTML and PDF versions on the fly as they are editing, track changes and revert to previous versions, and easily control the document structure and formatting from within the text by typing special characters in reStructuredText, an easy-to-read, what-you-see-is-what-you-get plaintext markup syntax. The GFZ Report Generator is quite flexible and by the use of tailor-made templates can be adapted easily to other use cases, where part of a document is based on standardised figures and section structure. For example, the software is deployed at GEOFON to generate both seismic network reports and annual reports. For the former, GEOFON also offers an online service (https://geofon.gfz-potsdam.de/waveform/reportgenerator/) where PIs and others can easily generate report templates pre-filled with network-specific content (e.g., probability density functions plots) and available online for editing. In this process, the deployed instance of the GFZ Report Generator proved to be useful for finding some classes of problems with the data and metadata stored at GEOFON.

P³ - PetroPhysical Property Database

Petrophysical properties are key to populate numerical models of subsurface process simulations and for the interpretation of many geophysical exploration methods. They are characteristic for specific rock types and may vary considerably as a response to subsurface conditions (e.g. temperature and pressure). Hence, the quality of process simulations and geophysical data interpretation critically depend on the knowledge of in-situ physical properties that have been measured for a specific rock unit.Inquiries for rock property values for a specific site might become a very time-consuming challenge given that such data are (1) spread across diverse publications and compilations, (2) heterogeneous in quality and (3) continuously being acquired in different laboratories worldwide. One important quality factor for the usability of measured petrophysical properties is the availability of corresponding metadata such as the sample location, petrography, stratigraphy, or the measuring method, conditions and authorship.The open-access database presented here aims at providing easily accessible, peer-reviewed information on physical rock properties in one single compilation. As it has been developed within the scope of the EC funded project IMAGE (Integrated Methods for Advanced Geothermal Exploration, EU grant agreement No. 608553), the database mainly contains information relevant for geothermal exploration and reservoir characterization, namely hydraulic, thermophysical and mechanical properties and, in addition, electrical resistivity and magnetic susceptibility.The uniqueness of this database emerges from its coverage and metadata structure. Each measured value is complemented by the corresponding sample location, petrographic description, chronostratigraphic age and original citation. The original stratigraphic and petrographic descriptions are transferred to standardized catalogues following a hierarchical structure ensuring intercomparability for statistical analysis. In addition, information on the experimental set-up (methods) and the measurement conditions are given for quality control. Thus, rock properties can directly be related to in-situ conditions to derive specific parameters relevant for modelling the subsurface or interpreting geophysical data.

TERENO (Northeast), Soil moisture station Sassen BF1, Germany

The Sassen BF1 soil moisture station is part of an agrometeorological test site and aims at supplying environmental data for algorithm development in remote sensing and environmental modelling, with a focus on soil moisture and evapotranspiration.The site is intensively used for practical tests of remote sensing data integration in agricultural land management practices. First measurement infrastructure was installed by DLR in 1999 and instrumentation was intensified in 2011 and later as the site became part of the TERENO-NE observatory. The soil moisture station station Sassen BF1 was installed in 2012. It is located next to a pylon on a crest of an undulating field. The station is equipped with sensor for measuring the following variables: ScemeSpadeSoilMoisture_Spade_2_Temperature, ScemeSpadeSoilMoisture_Spade_6_Temperature, ScemeSpadeSoilMoisture_Spade_1, ScemeSpadeSoilMoisture_Spade_2, ScemeSpadeSoilMoisture_Spade_3, ScemeSpadeSoilMoisture_Spade_4, ScemeSpadeSoilMoisture_Spade_5 and ScemeSpadeSoilMoisture_Spade_6. The current version of this dataset is 1.5. This version includes two additional years of data (from-year to-year)and a revised version of the data flags. New authors were added for this new version: Alice Künzel (GFZ Potsdam), Christian Budach (GFZ Potsdam), Nils Brinckmann (GFZ Potsdam), Max Wegener (DLR Neustrelitz) and Klemens Schmidt (DLR Neustrelitz).A detailed overview on all changes is provided in the station description file. Older versions are available in the 'previous_versions' subfolder via the Data Download link. A first version of this data was provided under http://doi.org/ containing the measured data only. The dataset is also available through the TERENO Data Discovery Portal. The datafile will be extended once per year as more data is acquired at the stations and the metadatafile will be updated. New columns for new variables will be added as necessary. In case of changes in data processing, which will result in changes of historical data, an new Version of this dataset will be published using a new doi. New data will be added after a delay of several months to allow manual interference with the quality control process. During October 2020 a Bug in the published data was detected and a new version of the datasets was released from beginning until mid 2020. Data processing was done using DMRP version: 1.8.4. Metadataprocessing was done using DMETA version: 1.2.0.
