eqcorrscan.utils.mag_calc.dist_calc(loc1, loc2)[source]

Function to calculate the distance in km between two points.

Uses the haversine formula to calculate great circle distance at the Earth’s surface, then uses trig to include depth.

Parameters:
  • loc1 (tuple) – Tuple of lat, lon, depth (in decimal degrees and km)

  • loc2 (tuple) – Tuple of lat, lon, depth (in decimal degrees and km)

Returns:

Distance between points in km.

Return type:

float
