The Southern California Earthquake Center Data Center (SCECDC) is the component of SCEC that stores the seismological, geodetic, and strong‐motion data collected in southern California. These data are to be integrated into a probabilistic seismic hazard analysis of southern California known locally as the “master model.” The SCECDC is located at Caltech in Pasadena, and has been on‐line since January. It consists of a Sun Sparc II station connected to a mass storage device, “Jukebox,” containing optical disks. This Jukebox is capable of storing 300 gigabytes of data on‐line at one time.
