Hi sac users,
I have computed Ps receiver function in which maximum amplitude (direct
P-wave arrival) comes after 2-3 sec not at 0 sec. I want to shift maximum
amplitude at 0 sec. Can anyone suggest how to shift this maximum amplitude
at 0 sec. Here below i have attached some screen shot of receiver function
in which maximum amplitude (direct P- wave arrival) come at after 2-3 sec.
Thanks

You don't say how this receiver function was made, but if a
single station receiver function, your logic is flawed, I think.
The maximum amplitude on a Ps RF need not be the direct
arrival. In fact, if you are rotating into coordinates parallel
and normal to the P arrival, it will certainly not be the direct
arrival. If the station has a low velocity underneath it, the
arrival will come in nearly vertically and, once again, the peak
arrival will not be the direct P.
The only time you will not have the direct arrival at 0 seconds
on a single station RF is when you have a timing error on one
component or another, which is a profoundly unlikely occurence.
You can end up with an offset if you are deconvolving a
different P wave (e.g., one made by beamforming over a
collection of stations) from a single station radial component.
If you still want to shift things, all that is involved is
playing with the relevant header variables for a SAC file (it
depends a bit on what you are planning on doing afterwards as to
the best combination of changes to make).

I agree. The shift is most likely an indication of the existence of a loose sedimentary layer. This is especially true if the receiver function is dominated by reverberations. This has been discussed in Yeck et al. (2013) and Yu et al. (2015). The latter is attached for your convenience -- see Figure 2a for a synthetic example.

Hi Craig,
We computed these receiver functions using iterative time domain
deconvolution with Gaussian width 1.5. We also rotated our seismograms from
ZNE to ZRT components. Do you think if we will use Gaussian width of 2.0 or
above then we can probably see clear arrival of direct P-wave exactly at
zero then Ps phase due to sediment basement after 1-2 seconds (if basement
depth is more than 1km).
Regards,

Hi Mukesh,
You can use the inline function GETTIME to obtain the xx value George
mentioned. You may refer the SAC manual for usage. Note that your P wave
peak is recorded in the header DEPMAX if it is the largest amplitude in
your RFs, which usually is true unless you have very noisy RFs. You can
easily automate this process with a macro.

Dear Mukesh Das -
Use CH B xx where xx is the time difference between zero and your peak. That shifts the data start time to a new value relative to the file's zero time.
