Method and provenance

Production method
Automated event detection and analyst review across global GEOFON broadband seismological stations.
Provenance
Produced and disseminated by the GFZ Helmholtz Centre Potsdam under GEOFON open seismological data policies.
Validation
Agency Event Bulletin
Uncertainty
Subsecond timestamp formatting is not a subsecond accuracy estimate. Do not substitute the USGS origin time or coordinates for the GEOFON solution.
Limitations
The verified FDSN text response contains an event summary, not moment-tensor or waveform data. Zero depth is a reported parameter; no independent surface-focus accuracy was established.
