Peer Reviewed Literature
Global quieting of high-frequency seismic noise due to COVID-19 pandemic lockdown measures
“We compiled a global seismic noise dataset using vertical-component seismic waveform data from 337 broadband and individually operated citizen seismometer stations (24), such as Raspberry Shakes (RS), with a self-noise well below the ground motion generated by anthropogenic noise (25), and flat responses in the target frequency band. “

On-Demand RS Data Archive
Raspberry Shake is 100% FDSN compatible and available on demand for researchers from Raspberry Shake’s FDSN Web Service.
Compatible Seismological Software
Raspberry Shake follows FDSN and SEED standards. Data generated by Raspberry Shake products is compatible with every popular software package in seismology, including:
AQMS, Antelope, Earlybird, Earthworm, Geospy, FDSNWS, Hydra, Matlab (GISMO), PQLX, Python (pip, matplotlib, ObsPy), SAC, SeedLink, Seisan, SeisComP, SeisGram2K, Seismic Handler, ShakeMap, SQLX, Swarm, WinSDR
We conclude that RS-4Ds are suitable for densifying backbone networks designed for studies of local and regional events.
It is more than a gadget! It can be used to locally densify networks to lower magnitude of completeness, it can be an alternative in regions where the situation does not allow the deployment of scientific grade seismometers, can also help for discriminating quarry blasts etc
It is a fun way to tinker with new technology, but it is also helping move the science forward. Not only the Raspberry Shake detect and visualize earthquakes, but having citizen scientists share their Raspberry Shake data increases Oklahoma’s seismic network coverage, and allows to detect more earthquakes more accurately. It is a win-win situation for everyone involved.
