Output envelope waveform in SAC
2019-06-14 15:00:49
Hi,
I want to calculate and plot envelope waveforms in SAC. I am reading
several waveforms recorded at multiple stations of a seismic network. I
decimated the data using decimate function and saved them as separate SAC
files. I read those decimated files and typed "envelope" in the SAC
terminal. According to the SAC manual, envelope command computes the
envelope function of the data in memory, but I don't understand how to save
the output of envelope command as separate SAC files to plot later. I would
much appreciate any suggestions.

Thanks
Abhash

    Hi,

    If I understand correctly, you can try:

    sac> r eq_dec.sac
    sac> p
    sac> envelope
    sac> p
    sac> w eq_dec_env.sac

    Where eq= waveform of earthquake; dec=decimated; env=envelope

    HTH,

    Milton
