The International Seismological Centre (ISC) Bulletin is contained on the Hypocenter Associated Data CD-ROM. This data base is derived from the ISC Monthly Bulletin print files for January 1964 through August 1987.

The ISC Bulletin represents the most comprehensive world-wide collection of earthquake data which have been obtained from the analog recordings of seismographic observatories and from regional or national networks collecting macroseismic data, and that have been associated with computed hypocenters.

These data, pertaining to 396661 natural or artificial seismic events, include the hypocenter and magnitude computations for each event. Observatory data which have been associated with an event include some some 14 million seismic phase arrival-times and their computed distances, azimuths and residuals.

The CD-ROM is produced by the NEIC, USGS. The special software FAISE - Fetch Associated Information of Seismic Events - is a menu-driven system. The menus have been designed to provide as much flexibility as possible to allow the user the ability to customize the search of the ISC Bulletin Data Base and the output that it produces.

The data were obtained from the World Data Center for Seismology, Denver.
