IRIS Data Services are funded through the Seismological Facilities for the Advancement of Geoscience and EarthScope (SAGE) Proposal of the National Science Foundation under Cooperative Agreement EAR-1261681. We thank the universities of Oregon, California at Berkeley, Rice and the Earthscope program of the National Science Foundation for acquiring and providing the FAME waveform data. B.T. was funded by a Delegation CNRS and Conge pour Recherches et Conversion Thematique from the Universite de Lyon to visit the Research School of Earth Sciences (RSES), The Australian National University (ANU). We thank the CNRS, the Universite de Lyon, and ANU, for providing the funding and research environment.
