The Next-generation ESM: Generating Reference Earthquake Data Sets from High-quality Semi-automated Waveform Processing
Description:
ORFEUS (Observatories and Research Facilities for European Seismology; https://www.orfeus-eu.org/) promotes the coordinated development of waveform seismology data services in the Euro-Mediterranean region, including the rapid raw strong‐motion (RRSM; https://orfeus-eu.org/rrsm/) and the engineering strong‐motion (ESM; https://esm-db.eu/) databases and associated web interfaces and webservices.
The ESM system provides event-based waveforms, peak motions, response spectra, and earthquake and site/station metadata for events with a magnitude ≥ 4.0. As the ESM is the reference database for harmonized seismic hazard and risk studies in Europe, the ESM data are presently published online after experts’ revision and approval to ensure the highest quality. However, manual revision is becoming unsustainable mainly due to the rapid growth of digital earthquake records from global, regional, and national seismic networks. Consequently, a new framework for waveform data processing is required to enable top-quality, automated processing, limiting human intervention.
To address this need, we introduced ESMpro, a modular Python-based software designed for the updated processing framework of ESM. The software, currently available in a stand-alone Beta version on GitLab (https://shake.mi.ingv.it/esmpro/), is intended to facilitate testing and collaboration within the scientific community. ESMpro automates waveform trimming and filtering, identifies poor-quality data and multiple events, and classifies records into quality categories. This reduces the need for manual revision to a smaller subset of incoming data. Additionally, ESMpro's modular and flexible design allows it to support various processing techniques and file formats, simplifying the integration of new or alternative algorithms. Testing conducted on manually processed ESM waveforms demonstrates a strong alignment between automatic and manual data processing, validating the shift toward fully automated procedures for large-scale data processing.
