origin Product Documentation

Types

origin
Origin products are currently read from EQXML messages.
phase-data
Similar to origin product, but underlying xml contains phase data. This type of message is usually sent in addition to origin, because the message is significantly larger.
origin-scenario
phase-data-scenario
Scenario earthquakes.
internal-origin
internal-phase-data
Preliminary locations that are not QC'ed for release to public.

Sources

Network Code
The contributing network.

Status

UPDATE
The product is not being deleted.
DELETE
The product is being deleted.
