a small bug of traveltime
2013-03-26 05:34:44 - 2013-03-27 05:57:48
Hi, There is a small bug of command traveltime. Run traveltime like below, SAC> fg seis SAC> traveltime MODEL IASP91 PICK 0 PHASE Pn Sn traveltime: depth: 15.000000 km Error: can't find iaspmodel header file "/opt/sac/aux/tables/IASP91.hed" SAC itself is case insensitive，but Linux is case sensitive. This command tries to look for an auxiliary file in Linux, so the model names, iasp91 and ak135, should be in lower case. The document of traveltime says, INPUT ----- :MODEL: IASP91 [default]… [more]

Wood-Anderson Response
2013-03-21 00:42:42 - 2013-03-22 23:36:28
I am working on a local magnitude project and I am having a hard time with the WA correction. I am using the evalresp option and the response file which I downloaded from the IRIS website. My code is as follows: r ASTN* trans from evalresp fname RESP.ASTN.ET to wa I have a few questions: What are the units of the Wood-Anderson correction? I am getting conflicting answers. Also, I know there is a constant which is important, but is that constant found/calculated when I use the evalresp op… [more]

how to set the LOVROK to be TURE?
2013-03-21 22:55:31
Hi everybody, I am trying to write over one sac file, but the LOVROK is FALSE. When I try to use "r $sac_file; chnhdr LOVROK TURE; write append .OK" or "r $sac_file; chnhdr LOVROK 1; write append .OK", they both don't work. Does anybody know why? Thanks in advance! Liping Fan

sac to hypoinverse
2013-03-05 18:44:08
Hi all I'm trying to located a large number of events using hypoinverse. Each event directory contains a number of .sac files with the picks etc. contained in it. I would like to access the pertinent header information and write it to a hypoinverse phase input file. I realize there are ohpf/whpf/chpf commands and the ability to write picks to a hypoinverse file during plotppk, but given the number of events, I would like to automate the task by either a macro or a stand-alone program (sac2hypo… [more]
