What a MESS! ObsPy meets seismic arrays!
|
Seismic arrays play an increasingly important role in seismology on all scales. This year we want to train how ObsPy can be used to perform simple and advanced array processing for a wide range of applications. These include large-scale array applications in global and regional seismology as well as array techniques aimed at noise analysis or the estimation of wavefield properties using arrays such as strain and rotation. As every year we give a basic introduction to Python and ObsPy. This is followed by a general introduction to seismic array processing with practicals. Specific topics include beamforming, SPAC analysis, phase weighted stacks, vespagrams, Capon and array response, microtremor array analysis. Participants are encouraged to bring their own array data sets but some data will be provided during the course. We will again use the Virtualbox concept and provide all software and data at the beginning of the course. |
