ESM Ground-Motion Model Web-Service
The ESM Ground-Motion Model Web-Service allows to obtain the predicted value and the associated total standard deviation according to a specific Ground-Motion Model (GMM).
A complete list of supported options and usage examples is available in the query-options webpage.

Feature Notes
- The supported GMMs are: ITA18 (Lanzano et al., 2019) for Italy, KOT20 (Kotha et al., 2020) for Europe, and LL19 (Lanzano et al., 2020) for volcanic areas.
- ITA18 is implemented for H, V and V/H components.
- KOT20 is implemented for H and V components (ergodic model with VS,30) and the attenuation path and magnitude terms could be regionalised according to Kotha et al., 2020 (regional model with VS,30).
- LL19 is implemented for H and V components.
- The output is provided in JSON format containing both the list of the assigned input options and the output values.
