17. It is ● the largest seismological data archive in Europe (~ 9 TB) ● the primary archive and dissemination point for the ● permanent GEOFON VBB network (56 stations) ● passive seismological experiments of the GFZ Geophysical Instrument Pool (GIPP) and other pools in Germany and Europe (> 50 experiments) ● the secondary (backup) archive and dissemination point for the GEOFON partner networks In Europe, SE Asia and in future maybe Central America and Africa It ● imports NRT data from > 30 networks over Internet (GEVN) ● exports NRT data from 25 partner networks over Internet (through its public SeedLink server) ● has online data holdings of ~18 TB (mirrored), backups volumes and raw data in tape archive The GFZ Seismological Data Archive
