GEOSCOPE Observatory
French Global Network of broad band seismic stations
The GEOSCOPE Observatory is a Global Network of Broad Band Seismic Stations.
These stations are recording continuously the ground motion. Data of most of the stations are arriving in real-time to the IPGP Data Center and are archived after validation.
The GEOSCOPE Observatory provides data and informations for earthquakes with magnitudes larger than 5.5-6. Similar information may be provided for smaller earthquakes, for example those located in France or in the European-Mediterranean region.

Metadata
The GEOSCOPE Metadata (Network G) is available in FDSN StationXML format.
StationXML is an XML representation of metadata that describes the data collected by geophysical instrumentation.
The metadata is produced and validated by the GEOSCOPE Network.
Accessing GEOSCOPE metadata
The GEOSCOPE metadata in FDSN StationXML format is avaiable through FDSN Web Services. For more information, go to Access to validated data.
