Hi, I'm installing rdseed on Mac OSX 10.9.4, to read .SEED files into SAC. Following instructions in the README file, I am having trouble making rdseed executable. Here's what I've done thus far. 1. Requested/Downloaded rdseed from IRIS. Unpackage the tar file-- makes new subdirectory /rdseed5.3.1 on Desktop. I rename directory to /rdseed. 2. Currently, my /sac folder is in /usr/local. I copy the mac executable into /usr/local/rdseed with command: *$ cp -p rdseed.mac.x86.64 /usr/local… [more]

Hello, I am attempting to install SAC onto my MAC OSX 10.9.4, and I am having a little bit of trouble with the environment setup. I will explain what I've done thus far: I downloaded the sac-101.6a-mac_x86_64.tar.gz file and dragged it to my Desktop, where I executed the command in terminal: $ tar -xzf sac-101.6a-mac_x86_64.tar.gz Then a /sac subdirectory was created on my Desktop. Everything is going well so far. Then, I go into the README folder and get to the Environment Setup section… [more]

After each editing session of your .bashrc file, you need to source it to make it's contents current. I.e.: % source ~/.bashrc Alternately, log out and/or open a new shell which forces a read of the .bashrc file. The way I read your note is that you tried running SAC without sourcing the freshly edited .bashrc file.

Hi All, I have a sac file of data recorded at a station and I need the precise location of the station from the header information. When I do SAC> r XX.LS01..BHE_20140416_000000.sac SAC> lh stlo FILE: XX.LS01..BHE_20140416_000000.sac - 1 -------------------------------------- stlo = -1.108064e+02 I get the longitude up to 4 digits after decimal probably because the default format is '%.6e'. Is there any way to see this information with 2 more digits after decimal (like '%.6f') in S… [more]

hi there, I am trying to merge several files from the same station/channel with sac. The data are downloaded from IRIS using email request. A miniseed file is then converted to many sac files using mseed2sac. These particular problematic files include several short and long files, total 1 day of data. I put all the sac files in one folder and run the following sac commands. sac> r * sac> merge ERROR 9005: Amplitude mismatch What does this error mean? I googled around but didn't see an… [more]

Hello dears I am asking if it possible, how to pick the surface wave automatically on the waveform with SAC. The purpose is to compute the surface wave magnitude.

Hi SAC users ^_^ I am trying to use the waveform cross-correlation subroutine "crscor" provided in lib/libsac.a in a Fortran code (see file correlatef.f in doc/examples for details). When the number of windows is more than 1, can somebody please confirm whether it returns the sum of cross-correlations of all windows or the mean/average cross-correlation of all windows, i.e. does it divide the sum of cross-correlations of all windows by the number of windows ? Thanks. Regards, Avinash (Happy … [more]
