hello;
i'am a seismology PhD student.
Currently i'm working on how to evaluate the local magnitude of my region,
but i found some difficulties to determinate the synthetic wood-andersson
seismograme .
my questions are:
when i use the commande transfer from polezero subtype fname to WA, do i
have to deconvoluate the instrument response or i use the raw signal
directly ?
and do i get the synthetic wood-anderson signal ? also, what is the unit
of the amplitude of Wood-Anderson signal ?
can you provide us more details about this methode please, thank you

    Hi,

    Please, I recommend you read the help for the transfer command.
    sac> help transfer.

    Prior to running the command transfer you must read the "trace" data, and
    it is raw signal,
    so it includes the "effect"/"filter" of the sensor, so when you apply the
    transfer command it
    removes the sensor effect from your signal and puts the wood Anderson's
    one, as if the trace
    was recorded with a WA instrument.

    For local magnitude the WA output must be in displacement units.

    HTH,

    milton
