Data Availability

BATS is now composed of 36 broadband seismic stations deployed inland of Taiwan and the surrounding islets, including two in the South China Sea. All these stations are transmitting data back to DC in a near real-time manner. According to IES data policy, BATS waveform data recorded 6 months before present is open to the public.

BATS DC is collaborating with IRIS DMC to archive and distribute BATS waveform data in terms of IRIS facilities. The network code of BATS is "TW", which is a registered code under the FDSN framework. Note that only BH? (broadband in 20 samples per second) and BL? (strong motion in 20 samples per second) channels are available in this case.

Due to environmental limitation, GPS timing quality for NACB and WFSB were unstable before May, 2001.

Real-Time Data

Since 2004, BATS has exchanged real-time data streams with IRIS for 7 BATS stations (KMNB, NACB, SSLB, TPUB, TWGB, YHNB, and YULB). Users can access to this real-time dataset through IRIS or BATS/FDSN web services：

Web Services @IES

We have established a new on-line data request interface for BATS waveform data at BATS DC. This interface is now available at:
