Main Flows

SEED-vault supports multiple operational workflows to accommodate different seismic data analysis needs. Each workflow shares common components but differs in sequence and focus.

• Workflow Comparison
• Events Based
• Station Based
• Continuous Based

Workflow Components

All workflows involve some combination of these key components:

• Event Selection: Choosing earthquake events based on criteria like time, magnitude, and location

• Station Selection: Selecting seismic stations based on network, location, or other parameters

• Waveform Download: Retrieving seismic waveform data for the selected events and stations

• Continuous Data Download: Retrieving continuous time series data from selected stations

• Parameter Configuration: Setting processing parameters for data retrieval and analysis
