The Earthquake Monitoring group at the SED operates SeisComP3 for seismic network monitoring, data acquisition, automatic and manual event processing, waveform data and earthquake catalogue archival. SeisComP3 was originally developed at GFZ Potsdam, and is currently maintained by GFZ Potsdam and gempa GmbH. The network migrated to SeisComP3 in October, 2012, following a long-term project to customise the previously global approach to earthquake monitoring to a local approach suitable for Switzerland, that included all the pre-existing features used at the SED. More information here.
Software developed in collaboration with GFZ Potsdam and gempa GmbH include Baer picker option in scautopick, Nonlinloc event locator screloc with 3D velocity model , local magnitude Mlh plugin based on horizontal components and Swiss magnitude relationship. These products are now part of the general release in SeisComP3, and documentation / source code can be found on the SeisComP3 webpages. Our modules are open source. All software we develop that is compatible with the SeisComP3 framework is licenced according to the SED Public Licence for SeisComP3 contributions. Open source code for SC3 in general and the SED developed application is available here. Other software developed more recently that is compatible with the SeisComP3 framework are described below.
