Step-by-step Instructions for Accessing NEPTUNE Canada Seismic Data in IRIS
IRIS is a consortium of over 100 US universities dedicated to the operation of science facilities for the acquisition, management, and distribution of seismological data. The following instructions show you how to see our seismic data on the IRIS website. (Step-by-step instructions in a PDF document)
Using the IRIS Link Builder

Network Information
- Network: NV
- Stations (currently available)
- NCBC at Barkley Canyon
- NC89 at ODP 889
- NC27 at ODP 1027
- KEMF at Main Endeavour Field (MEF)
- NCHR at Endeavour North
The following illustrations show the builder screen I developed for each NEPTUNE Canada station that shows an October 21-22 event.
- We often view the low-frequency (L) channels because they show all data (military screening does not happen for low frequency channels)
- We also often use Z to view vertical movements, but you may also wish to view E (east-west movement) and N (north-south movement) data as well.
Station KEMF
Note the selections in the red box. The link to the plot is created for you – all you need to do is to click the link at the bottom to get the plot from our short-period seismometer at Main Endeavour Field.
This is the resulting plot generated by the IRIS link builder shown above.
Station NC27
_Settings in the the red box are used to generate a plot of data from our NC27 broadband seismometer (located at ODP 1027). _
This is the resulting plot generated by the IRIS link builder shown above.
Station NC89
_Settings in the the red box are used to generate a plot of data from our NC89 broadband seismometer (located at ODP 889). _
This is the resulting plot generated by the IRIS link builder shown above.
Station NCHR
_Settings in the the red box are used to generate a plot of data from our NCHR short-period seismometer (located at ODP 889). _
This is the resulting plot generated by the IRIS link builder shown above.
