If you have already data sets of some earthquakes they may be in format like below which had taken in EW, NS and UD directions. Files are named as (station name+date+time ).
OKN0109805040830.ew
OKN0109805040830.ns
OKN0109805040830.ud (These files recorded in OKN010 station at 1998/05/04 08:30)
For Earthquake in and near Japan, NIED having 1880 stations records data. To download raw data from NIED click below.
