Summary
[Adapted from Berkeley Digital Seismic Network (BDSN) Overview:
http://quake.geo.berkeley.edu/bdsn/bdsn.overview.html]

The Berkeley Digital Seismic Network (BDSN) is one of several networks of
seismic instrumentation in northern and central California operated by the
Berkeley Seismological Laboratory. The BDSN is an array of high dynamic range,
... broadband seismometers with collocated strong-motion accelerometers. Data from
these stations are transmitted to UC Berkeley using continuous telemetry and
are analyzed for earthquakes. 20 sites are currently operational and additional
stations are planned. Two other BDSN sites consist of strong-motion
accelerometers.

Data are available in Standard for the Exchange of Earthquake Data (SEED)
format. Queries of the BDSN holdings may be made using SeismiQuery,
http://quake.geo.berkeley.edu/SeismiQuery/, a web-based tool that allows
users to query the database for specific information about data availability as
well as network, station and channel information. Users may also request data
via NetDC Request Form,
http://quake.geo.berkeley.edu/ncedc/seed-waveforms.html.

Link: GET DATA Description: The NCEDC uses an ORACLE database to archive meta data as well as timeseries information. SeismiQuery is a web tool that allows users to query the database for specific information about data availability as well as network, station and channel information. SeismiQuery is made up of several pre-formatted queries that focus on specific types of information and data requests. Users may also write their own queries in SQL (a primer is provided).
