National Center for Engineering
Strong Motion Data
• Single unified facility includes functions of receiving
data from field stations, processing data, rapidly
releasing data via the web site, and archiving data
• Goal: Provide timely, quality-controlled, and easily
accessible data for domestic and foreign earthquakes
of engineering interest
NCESMD a cooperative center …
• Established by the USGS and CGS to integrate strong
ground motion record access
• Built on the Engineering Data Center of the
California Integrated Seismic Network (CISN)
• Will continue to serve the California region while
expanding to serve the other ANSS regions of USGS
NCESMD Web Site
• Web site is dynamic - all web pages are generated onthe-fly, upon user need/request
• Data and information are retrieved from a database in
real time when users open web pages
• Provides basic station information
 type of station (ground response or structure)
 photo showing station setting
 site conditions (surface geology, Vs30)
 list of records obtained
• At
www.strongmotioncenter.org

SUMMARY
• NCESMD: A unified strong-motion data center for
engineering applications
• A Center Management Group manages the NCESMD with
input from an external Advisory Committee
• Products will be generated by both CGS and USGS facilities.
• Each ANSS region is responsible for and credited for the data
recorded by its regional network.
• Incorporate the COSMOS VDC – transition is just beginning
• Database-driven site with dynamic pages and a new map
feature that facilitate the use of strong-motion data
• Co-hosted by CGS and USGS at:
