Methods, systems, and media for managing wind speed data, seismic data and other natural phenomena data

A system for collecting and managing seismic data via an external communications network, the system comprising:

• one or more seismic station, each respective seismic station being disposed at a respective seismic station location and including, respectively,
• a seismic measurement apparatus disposed at the respective seismic station location and producing seismic signals indicative of seismic or acceleration conditions at the respective seismic station location;
• a station processor disposed at the respective seismic station location and operatively connected to the seismic measuring apparatus for receiving the seismic signals and producing seismic data corresponding to the seismic signals;
• a station memory disposed at the respective seismic station location and operatively connected to the station processor for storing the seismic data;
• and
• a station computing device having a communication interface disposed at the respective seismic station location, the communication interface being operatively connected to the station processor to receive the seismic data therefrom, and being operatively connected to an external communications network to the transmit the seismic data to the external communications network;
• one or more data server, each respective data server being disposed at a respective data server location and including, respectively,
• a server computing device disposed at the respective data server location;
• a server communication interface disposed at the respective data server location, the server communication interface being operatively connected to the external communications network to receive respective seismic data from the one or more seismic stations and operatively connected to the server computing device to provide the received respective seismic data to the server computing device;
• and
• a server memory disposed at the respective data server location and operatively connected to the server computing device for storing the received respective seismic data;
• and
• wherein the one or more data server can transmit the stored received respective seismic data to another location on the external communications network;
• further comprising:
• one or more certification server, each respective certification server being disposed at a respective certification server location and including, respectively,
• a certification server computing device disposed at the respective certification server location;
• and
• a certification server communication interface disposed at the respective certification server location, the certification server communication interface being operatively connected to the external communications network to receive respective seismic data from the one or more data servers and operatively connected to the certification server computing device to provide the received respective seismic data to the certification server computing device;
• and
• wherein each of the one or more certification server can generate a respective data model, the respective data model comprising at least one of
• a historical earthquake or seismic event model and
• an earthquake or seismic event damage model;
• wherein each of the one or more certification server can generate a respective certification report based on the received respective seismic data and the generated respective data models;
• and
• wherein the one or more certification server can transmit the generated respective certification report to another location on the external communications network;
• and
• further comprising:
• one or more payout server, each respective payout server being disposed at a respective payout server location and including, respectively,
• a payout server computing device disposed at the respective payout server location;
• and
• a payout server communication interface disposed at the respective payout server location, the payout server communication interface being operatively connected to the external communications network to receive the respective certification reports from the one or more certification server and to provide the received respective certification reports to the payout server computing device;
• and
• wherein each of the one or more payout server can determine if a received respective certification report satisfied the terms of a respective associated contract.
