TCS AH Vocabulary

• Domain and subdomain names

• Key words

• Data

  • Catalog parameters

Ground motion catalog parameters

RID - Registration ID

EID - Event ID

SID - Station ID (should be station code, which is used commonly in seismology for example in all seismological metadata standards ORFEUS uses term ‘Station’)

S_name - Station name

S_Lat – Station location latitude

S_Long – Station location longitude

S_Elevation - Station location elevation

R_Time - Registration occurrence time

PGA-x - Peak ground acceleration of x component (how x and y are defined ORFEUS uses standard seismological convention ZNE for component values)

PGA-y - Peak ground acceleration of y component (see comments above)

PVA - Peak vertical acceleration (not used in ORFEUS and EPOS instead they use PGA on Z component of the station)

PHA - Peak horizontal acceleration (not used in ORFEUS and EPOS instead they use PGA on N and E components separately  for every channel)

PGA - Total peak ground acceleration (see above)

RMS_A - Root-mean-square acceleration

PGV-x - Peak ground velocity of x component (see comments to PGA-x)

PGV-y - Peak ground velocity of y component (see comments to PGA-x)

PVV - Peak vertical velocity component (see PVA comments)

PHV - Peak horizontal velocity (see PVA comments)

PGV - Total peak ground velocity (see PGA comment)

RMS-V - Root-mean-square velocity

PGD-x - Peak ground displacement of x component

PGD-y - Peak ground displacement of y component

PVD - Peak vertical displacement component

PHD - Peak horizontal displacement

PGD - Total peak ground displacement

RMS-D - Root-mean-square displacement

AI - Arias Intensity

NED - Normalized Energy Density

ABD - Absolute bracketed duration

AUD - Absolute uniform duration

AED - Absolute effective duration

RBD - Relative bracketed duration

RUD - Relative uniform duration

RED - Relative effective duration
