5.2.8.2.1. eqcorrscan.utils.mag_calc._sim_WA

eqcorrscan.utils.mag_calc._sim_WA(trace, inventory, water_level, velocity=False)[source]

Remove the instrument response from a trace and simulate a Wood-Anderson.

Returns a de-meaned, de-trended, Wood Anderson simulated trace in its place.

Works in-place on data and will destroy your original data, copy the trace before giving it to this function!

Parameters:
  • trace (obspy.core.trace.Trace) – A standard obspy trace, generally should be given without pre-filtering, if given with pre-filtering for use with amplitude determination for magnitudes you will need to worry about how you cope with the response of this filter yourself.

  • inventory (obspy.core.inventory.Inventory) – Inventory containing response information for the stations in st.

  • water_level (float) – Water level for the simulation.

  • velocity (bool) – Whether to return a velocity trace or not - velocity is non-standard for Wood-Anderson instruments, but institutes that use seiscomp3 or Antelope require picks in velocity.

Returns:

Trace of Wood-Anderson simulated data

Return type:

obspy.core.trace.Trace
