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.
