This page details how to access CyberShake data through Globus.

Data available

Currently, cluster-generated data (seismograms, geometric mean spectral acceleration, RotD spectral acceleration, and duration data for studies which have it) are available through Globus.

Studies available

Currently the following studies are available through Globus collections.

Access Instructions

Website GUI interface

The simplest way to access the data is to use the Globus website interface, which allows you to navigate the collection and set up transfers.

  1. If you click on one of the above study links, you will be prompted to log into Globus. If you don't have an account, you can create one with an email address following the instructions here.
  2. Once logged in, you will be able to see the data for the study in the left pane. The data is stored in a hierarchical directory structure, with the top level containing a directory for each site, the next level a directory for each run ID for that site, and then each of these directories contains the seismogram, intensity measure, and duration files for that run.
  3. To transfer the data, connect to a Globus endpoint in the right pane, and then follow these directions. Many universities, clusters, and HPC centers have Globus endpoints already set up. If you can't find an endpoint where you need one, or would prefer to transfer the data to a local machine, you can use Globus Connect Personal to set up your own endpoint.

Command-line interface

If you wish to access the data in a script, or transfer a subset of data which doesn't map nicely to the directory structure, you can create a batch file with a list of files or directories to transfer, and then use the Globus command-line interface to coordinate your transfer.
