These data are also available via ftp -
see GENERAL:Anonymous FTP
ASCII files of gridded points used to make maps - lon, lat, value (%g)
1st line in each file gives ground-motion parameter and the probability of exceedance
(PE = probability of exceedance,
PGA = peak ground acceleration,
SA = spectral acceleration)
0.05 degree grid spacing in latitude and longitude for entire country
File sizes = approximately 21 Mb each
PGA with 10% PE in 50 yrs 0.2 sec SA with 2% PE in 50 yrs
PGA with 2% PE in 50 yrs 1.0 sec SA with 10% PE in 50 yrs
0.2 sec SA with 10% PE in 50 yrs 1.0 sec SA with 2% PE in 50 yrs
