Parameters

Data source selection

Parameter Alias Example Description
network net FR Seismic network code. Accepts wildcards and lists.
station sta CIEL Station code. Accepts wildcards and lists.
location loc 00 Location code. Use loc=-- for empty location codes. Accepts wildcards and lists.
channel cha HHZ Channel code. Accepts wildcards and lists.
Wildcards and lists
  • ? : use the question mark as a wildcard to represent any single character.
  • * : use the asterisk as a wildcard to represent zero or more characters.
  • , : use the comma combine multiple items within a list. Wildcards may be included in the list..

For example, with channel codes: channel=EH?,BHZ

Time period selection

Parameter Alias Example Description
starttime start 2010-01-10T00:00:00 Selects power spectral densities from the specified time inclusive.
endtime end 2011-02-11T01:00:00 Selects power spectral densities before the specified time inclusive.
Date and time formats
Format Example Description
YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss[.ssssss] 1997-01-31T12:04:32.123 a date and a time user-defined
YYYY-MM-DD 1997-01-31 a user-defined date but a time of 00:00:00 is assumed
currentutcday today at 00:00:00 
    
with :
