One of the most valuable results achieved during
the work on S5 project is the implementation of a new temporary
network data management that allows the integration in the
National Data Center together with all other seismological data produced
by INGV. This makes all data gathered during temporary experiments immediately
available from the same source and in the same data format (SEED)
increasing the availability for processing and analysis. Moreover the data are distributed
to the scientific community using the EIDA (European Integrated Data Archive
http://eida.rm.ingv.it/).
The first application has been carried out for the Messina 1908-2008 experiment
(WP2.2) http://dpc-s5.rm.ingv.it/en/Database-MessinaFault.html where has been
achieved the complete integration of permanent networks (National Seismic Network,
MedNet and Peloritani Local Network), temporary deployments (INGV-CNT and INGVCT
mobile networks) and OBS data.
All the procedures were used and further improved during the L'Aquila sequence
(Task 4) where data was available for processing together with permanent
network data as soon as it was gathered from the field giving to the
scientific community the opportunity to study the evolution of the
seismic sequence with higher density of stations (WP4.2)

The waveform archive of the “Messina 1908-2008” Project is the first example of complete integration of data provided by permanent networks (INGV National 
Seismic Network, Peloritani Seismic Network and MedNet) and temporary deployments (CNT and CNT). In Figure 5 the schetch of the data sources and the role of 
the data servers in the process of archive building.
All the continuous data recorded by the mobile stations operated by INGV have been completely qualified, converted to SEED data format (Standard for the Exchange of 
Earthquake Data) and made available to the scientific community using the EIDA platform (European Integrated Data Archive, Figure 6). Also all metadata available have 
been checked and converted to SEED format. The EIDA archive gives access also to the National Network data.
The continuous OBS waveform data is temporarily available at ftp://ftp.ingv.it/pro/s5-data/. Data will be merged in the integrated archive as soon as the meta data infor-
mation is converted to SEED data format (dataless). 
WAVEFORM ARCHIVE
The main goal of the Task 2 is the creation of a wave-
form archive that will collect in a uniform format, in a 
SEED (Standard for the Exchange of Earthquake Data 
- IRIS), the continuous recordings of all the availa-
ble seismic stations present the Calabro - Pelori-
tana area across the Messina Strait affected by 
the 1908 earthquake.
A passive seismic experiment, “Messina 1908-
2008 Experiment”, was carried in the area 
across the Messina Strait  to integrate the natio-
nal network [Margheriti et al., 2008; Moretti et 
al., 2008; 2010). In Figure 1 is shows the seismic 
networks operating during the experiment. In ad-
dition, during the summer of 2008, the ocean 
bottom seismometers (OBS) were deployed to better 
monitor the area largely covered by the sea [D’Anna et 
al., 2008; 2009] .
It will be the first example of complete integration of per-
manent networks (National Seismic Network; Peloritni Local 
network), temporary deployments (both mobile network from 
INGV CNT and INGV CT) and OBS data, that hopefully will become a 
standard for INGV seismic experiment. 
Period:  October 18, 2007 - January 31, 2010   
Station: 15 temporary seismic stations 
  (yellow triangles  in Figure 1) and 5 OBS 
   (white stars in Figure 1).  
Data:   In Figure 2 are shows the “Start”, 
  the “Stop” and all data gaps: 
- “FAT error” caused by a wrong CF formatting;
- “rottura HD” caused by an Hard Disk failure;
- “baco GPS” caused by a bug in some GPS units 
firmware; 
- “Int. A/C” caused by the switch off of the 
mains;
- “Furto” the station was stolen;
- “Incendio” the station was de stroyed by a 
large fire.
The light red box indicates the period of deposition of the 
OBS (July 15 – November 8, 2008).
The red line shows the date of the reduction of the RSM 
station number (February 2009) .

The experience gained in the Task 2, was used in Task 4 to create the waveform archive. All the continuous data recorded by the 18 mobile stations operated by INGV/CNT and the 
3 mobile stations operated by INGV/CT deployed during the L'Aquila sequence (Figure 3) have been completely qualified, converted to SEED data format and made available to the 
scientific community using the EIDA platform. 
 This data set spans from a few hours after the the April 6, 2009 mainshock (first data recorded at 04:43:08 UTC) to March 23, 2010 when the last 9 stations were disinstalled and 
consist of about 270 GB.
All the data recorded by the seismic stations installed by LGIT (Grenoble, France) are distributed in the same format at http://www.fosfore.ipgp.fr/en/ (in "Fosfore Portal" under  
"Stations", network XJ) togheter with metedata. 
On April 6th 2009 (1:32 UTC, 3:32 local time) a Mw6.3 earthquake 
struck central Italy, devastating the L’Aquila town and surroun-
ding villages of the Abruzzo region, causing 300 deaths and lea-
ving sixty thousand homeless.
A few hours after the mainshock, the staff of the Re.Mo. have in-
stalled in the epicentral area, a temporary seismic network con-
sisting of 8 seismic stations stand alone. In the days after the 
network was completed by adding 14 more stations.
The  LGIT Institute from Grenoble has installed additional 20 sta-
tions (http://www.fosfore.ipgp.fr/en/).
Purpose of the Re.Mo.: getting a better and more detailed loca-
tion of low magnitude seismic activity and provide near real-time 
information on all the space-time evolution of the earthquake in 
progress.
The network has undergone changes to better follow the evolu-
tion of seismic activity.

Data are collected and archived in a Storage Area 
Network with a SEED Data Structure, while station 
information is organized in a MySQL database 
[Mandiello et al., 2009]. The ArcLink protocol (by 
the Geofon Group, GFZ) provides to access to ar-
chive data and station database. The ArcLink proto-
col is similar to SeedLink: it is based on 
TCP and uses simple commands in ASCII 
coding. The client requests data based 
on time windows. An ArcLink request is 
associated with a request ID that can 
be used by the client to get status of the 
request, download data, and delete the 
request. 
Waveform output is in SEED or MiniSEED 
format, meta data output in XML or da-
taless SEED (response information 
only).
