Central Weather Bureau
An
efficient earthquake auto-location algorithm has been developed and
tested by the Central Weather Bureau (CWB). The CWB can now routinely
obtain earthquake information in one minute after the occurrence of
an earthquake using this new algorithm. In order to take full advantage
of this capability, four automatic information broadcast media, namely,
E-mail, World Wide Web, FTP server and pager system, have been configured
to receive and transmit automatically the earthquake information from
the CWB seismic monitoring system. This new automatic earthquake information
broadcast system will enable the CWB to disseminate information about
felt earthquakes even more quickly and widely than its current practice
through fax and paper reports.
