ERMES reports

Earthquake Report for ground Motion EvaluationS

Description

Here, summary reports showing the main features of the shaking recorded during recent earthquakes, are published in PDF format. These reports are produced by means of the ERMES web tool (Earthquake Report for ground Motion EvaluationS), a platform interoperable with the Italian (ITACA, https://itaca.mi.ingv.it) and European (ESM, https://esm-db.eu) strong-motion databases.
The ERMES-report contains information, organized in tables and images, elaborated through some web pages, relative to the events, recording stations and waveforms. In the first page, the date of the release of the report is reported in order to keep track of changes as event data and metadata are updated or supplemented with new information.
The Event info page lists general information about the event (event IDs, epicenter location, local and moment magnitude, focal mechanism, etc.) and the fault (source geometry, nucleation point location, strike, dip, rake, etc.), if available.
The Strong motion parameters pages show the maps of some Intensity Measures, both for the horizontal and vertical components, and a table listing the largest values of the most significant shaking parameters from the engineering point of view.
The Waveforms pages produced for selected stations, show the plots of the three components of acceleration, velocity and displacement waveforms.
In Acceleration response spectra section, for the same selected stations, the plots of the acceleration elastic response spectra (5% damping) are reported in different axes scales.
The GMMs page is devoted to the comparison between the recorded and predicted peak ground motion values for horizontal and vertical components, by Italian and European Ground Motion Models (GMMs) for shallow active crustal and volcanic events.
