The Seismic Stations in CIS Countries (SSCC) data base represents information on the stations of the Unified System of Seismic Observation (USSO) on the former USSR territory. The data base describes geographic locations and technical specifications of instruments used of the seismological stations, which belonged to the 30 seismological outfits of the former USSR.

The Centre of Geophysical Data Studies and Telematics Applications RAS and the World Data Center for Solid Earth Physics, Moscow have developed a Web-based user interface to the data base that allows users to search the data base and retrieve data by the available parameters.

The created module includes the dynamic map, which shows the location of all seismological stations of the USSO. Selecting the part of the map by zoom window, the user finds the enlarged picture of the selected territory with its stations, enumerated in the table, which also contains all details about the station location and the next table for each station with equipment and timing of its activity.

The users could also find the needed information filling out the query form and defining the criteria for the search: the name of the station, the region and the country of location, the coordinates, the type of instruments, the time of the station creation etc.

To check the English spelling of the station's, region's or country's name the user could address the table of correspondences.

A user can receive station list. The stations can be seen on the map. One station can be selected to get its detailed description and instruments.

Initially based on the publication
N.V.Kondorskaya, I.V.Fedorova. Seismic stations of the Unified System of Seismic Observations in the USSR.- United Institute of Physics of the Earth RAS, Moscow, 1996, 36 p. (in Russian).
the data base was considerably enlarged by the information about actually closed seismological stations and updated by introducing the additional stations outside the USSO network. The total number of stations has increased from 465 to 531. The parameters for these additional stations were collected from different sources and were put in correspondence with the list of the International Seismological Centre. However, the details about their equipment are still unavailable.
