Historical seismograms scanned within the EuroSeismos project - registered at seismic stations located in western Romania (TIM, BZS, GZR, SSR)
Description
Through this database is distributed Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License a collection of historical analog seismograms recorded by 4 Romanian seismic stations (TIM, SSR, GZR, BZS) for the strongest Euro-Mediterranean earthquakes and scanned within the EuroSeismos 2002-2007 project supported by the European Seismological Commission. The scanned seismograms can be used exclusively for non-profit purposes with the special specification of ownership and credits of the Romanian partner (Dr. Eugen Oros), the EuroSeismos Project, and the INGV Rome SISMOS Center. In 2002 at the ESC held in Genoa, a project entitled "Saving and Studying the Seismograms of the Strongest Euro-Mediterranean Earthquakes" coordinated by Graziano Ferrari (SGA - Storia Geofisica Ambiente) and Nicola Alessandro Pino (Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia, INGV) was started (see information at: http://storing.ingv.it/es_web/Introduction.htm). The partners of EUROSEISMOS were 36 researchers from 29 countries in the Euro-Mediterranean area who are listed in alphabetical order by nation at: http://storing.ingv.it/es_web/Partners.htm. By the end, the project has been able to gather historical seismograms from more than 600 earthquakes chosen by the participants. These earthquakes can be studied interactively with direct links to partners, the seismic stations that recorded them, including the maps of their distributions, the types of seismographs, and their technical characteristics at: http://storing.ingv.it/es_web/Data/Es_map.html The recovered and scanned seismic bulletins are available at: https://storing.ingv.it/ISS/index.html, https://storing.ingv.it/es_web/Data/Collection.htm, https://storing.ingv.it/es_web/Data/Collection.htm#Links (with links on the map for each seismic station). Information about the project and Romania's contribution (3 volumes of seismograms) are presented in the Readme.zip file attached to the database. The lists of earthquakes recorded by the Romanian seismic stations are at the addresses, where the maps show links for all the other stations in the project that recorded them:: https://storing.ingv.it/es_web/Data/oss/TIM.html https://storing.ingv.it/es_web/Data/oss/SSR.html https://storing.ingv.it/es_web/Data/oss/GZR.html https://storing.ingv.it/es_web/Data/oss/BZS.html References: - G.

Steps to reproduce
The scans are made at 1016 dpi grayscale and are available at a maximum resolution of 600 dpi. They are presented in 3 volumes/3 DVDs (details in Readme.zip). The digitization can be done using the special program created within the Sismos project called Teseo (Turn the Eldest Seismograms into the Electronic Original Ones) available together with the documentation at https://teseo.rm.ingv.it/ and https://github .com/INGV/teseo2. The characteristics of the instruments/seismographs, including the time corrections, can be found on the seismograms or in the scanned bulletins available at: https://storing.ingv.it/ISS/index.html; https://storing.ingv.it/es_web/Data/Collection.htm#ISS; https://storing.ingv.it/es_web/Data/Collection.htm#Bull; https://storing.ingv.it/es_web/Data/Collection.htm#Status
