... This application represents only a part of the overall role of the USSS, which would be a basic research tool in a variety of seismological investigations such as the detection and location of seismic events, studies of earth structure and processes, and site evaluations for critical facilities. The USSS is perceived to be a national and integrated system consisting of l.

... Members and specialists would include network data users, instrument specialists, computer specialists, academic network operators, an operator of an USNRCfunded network, and a USGS network operator. All members should be qualified, experienced seismologists, and, calling upon specialists as needed, they will recommend standards and options in the national network context related to the following topics: • instrumentation • network optimization • data processing and products • data management and archiving • data dissemination and centers for regional data
