Abstract

he Center for Engineering Strong-Motion Data (CESMD), an internationally utilized joint center of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and the California Geological Survey (CGS), provides a unified access point for earthquake strong-motion records and station metadata from the CGS California Strong-Motion Instrumentation Program (CSMIP), the USGS National Strong-Motion Project (NSMP), the USGS Advanced National Seismic System (ANSS), and other affiliates. The CESMD works closely with the ANSS and with the Consortium of Organizations for Strong-Motion Observation Systems (COSMOS) to engage with strong-motion networks in the U.S. and other countries to receive, process, and post records. The CESMD has recently developed new tools to facilitate access to strong-motion data and metadata for use in post-earthquake response and scientific research applications. The Center provides raw and processed strong-motion data via its Engineering Data Center (EDC) and the Virtual Data Center (VDC) web portals, currently hosting more than 60,000 records with peak ground accelerations greater than 0.1% g, from over 3,000 earthquakes. This short paper provides updates of the available strong-motion data, station metadata, recent enhancements and developments of the tools, and applications that are made available to users for accessing strong-motion data.
