Combined database of earthquakes and tidal forces from the Moon and the Sun

An approach to search for the connection of tidal forces from the Moon and the Sun with earthquakes is proposed. The earthquake database of the European-Mediterranean Seismological Center CSEM/EMSC is used (http://www.emsc-csem.org/Earthquake/world). The database contains information on earthquakes with magnitudes above 2 numbers since October 2004. By mid-March 2017, there were more than 320,000 recorded events in the database with such data: time point, epicenter coordinates, depth of hypocenter and magnitude.

To search for such connections, we plan to supplement the CSEM/EMSC earthquake database for each given moment and hypocenter with the tidal forces from the Moon and the Sun, the resultant forces, their directions, and some other values. The combined database of earthquakes and tidal forces from the Moon and the Sun will be recorded in text format and displayed for universal access.
