قالب:EQ-isc-link/doc
Given the ISC event id for an earthquake, this template renders a pair of links to the data and bibliography pages for that event at the International Seismological Centre (ISC). Given a zero ("0") it renders a generic link to the ISC, and the article will be added to the "ISC link pending" tracking category for follow-up. If the event id is given as negative only the event id is displayed (linked to the event page).
Usage
{{ EQ-isc-link | <ISC event id> }}
Examples:
- {{EQ-isc-link|16461282}} →
- The International Seismological Centre has a bibliography and/or authoritative data for this event.
- {{EQ-isc-link|0}} →
- The International Seismological Centre will have authoritative data for this event in due course.
- {{EQ-isc-link|-16461282}} → 16461282
The short form is suitable for use in tables and boxes. E.g.:
ISC
The International Seismological Centre is the final archive and authoritative source for the magnitudes and other technical parameters of significant earthquakes world-wide. The on-line ISC Bulletin lists events from 1900 to the near present. The Reviewed ISC Bulletin is a subset of Bulletin events that have been reviewed and possibly revised after receipt of all data; publication is typically 24 months after the event. Some older events may be recalculated years later as new techniques for analyzing the data are developed. As revised, the Reviewed ISC Bulletin is the most authoritative and preferred source of earthquake data, and all other sources are then deemed out-of-date and possibly inaccurate. The event bibliography page lists nearly all of the scientific papers written (in English) about that event.
ISC event id
The recommended location for this template is in the "External links" section, although the short-form can be used anywhere an unadorned link is desired (such as tables and boxes). The template requires only the ISC event id. This can be obtained in several ways:
- Easiest is to go to the chronological Event Index (or the IRIS mirror site) and search by date and time. Note that these are UTC. Note also that significant events are usually labeled, and that multiple shocks or after-shocks indexed separately.
- Alternately, go to the interactive search page (or IRIS), select beginning and ending search dates that bracket the date of the event, and set the minimum magnitude to just below the reported magnitude of the quake. Searches can also be constrained to specific regions; see Flinn–Engdahl regions for regional codes. There will usually be just a handful of results, and knowing the time of the event, or the approximate longitude and latitude, is sufficient to select the desired event id. If the event is not found – perhaps it is too recent? – use a zero for the event id to add the article to the "ISC link pending" tracking category for follow-up.
Don't forget to check that the link goes to the right event!
