My current Python Report for code examples

[sheeny]

I’ve had a lot of help from people as I learned to code this report in Python and I’ve had some interest expressed in my report, so here it is, warts and all, for free use and modification or simply as code examples.

This has been my excuse and motivation to learn Python. It has evolved as I’ve learned and added new things, so it’s probably not a great example of how to write python code, but the bits that make it up might help someone else on their coding journey.

This is what the resulting report looks like:

That is with ‘All’ phases selected to display in the ray path plot.

It can also look like this:

This is with only the phases that arrive in the time window of the displayed traces displayed in the ray path plot.

I have also recently added Cartopy, and the ability to produce a simple Nearside Perspective map to show the station and earthquake locations and the great circle path between, which looks like this:

Here is the code from my report:

Some notes about the code and how I use it.

Earthquake Data
I use the ShakeNet Station View web app to get the data for the quake I’m interested in. (I also use EarthquakesGA and any other source I can find for aussie quakes that aren’t on RS). The quake/event data is entered into lines 72 to 79.

Station Data
Station data is in lines 65 to 70 and once setup doesn’t need to be changed unless you are changing the station you want to use.

Plot Timing
Immediately below the event data, I enter figures for a delay and duration. The delay is the number of seconds from the event (earthquake) time till the signal plots start. The duration is, of course how long the signal plot should run for.

Bandpass Filters
In line 91 to 96 are some bandpass filter settings. Initially I edited the filter corner figures to change the bandpass filter, but I’ve since got a few common filters I use set up on separate lines and simply comment out the ones I don’t want to use at the time.

Waveforms for Displacement, Velocity and Acceleration
In lines 101 to to 106, the program gets the waveform from the server and then makes two additional copies of it. This is so they can be processed into displacement, velocity and acceleration plots when the instrument response is removed.

Map
Lines 181 to 220 is where the map is plotted. Initially plot_map in line 182 is true, and the plt.savefig command in line 218 is commented out. This allows the map to be adjusted before saving the final version. Once the final version is saved, I comment out the plt.savefig command again ready for next time, and then set plot_map to false to skip all the mapping code for subsequent runs.

Plotting Traces
In the section where the traces are plotted (lines 261 to 280) there are several code lines commented out which can be uncommented to use. For example, there’s provision for manual y scaling on each plot so that strong noise in the plot can be clipped and the signal still be reasonably displayed.

Phase Arrival Array
Lines 347 to 376 is where an array of phase arrival data is constructed and plotted into the figure. This array includes the phase name, the arrival time in seconds after the earthquake, the arrival time in UTC and the vertical component of the signal as a percentage of the true signal. The vertical component is all that a Shake and Boom or 1D can detect, so knowing the vertical component allows some judgement about how much signal to expect from that phase. The allphases variable on line 356 is initially set to true to plot all the phase ray paths in the one diagram. I usually do this for the first figure, with a long duration of , say, 900 seconds. After that, I change allphases to false so only the path of the phases in the plot window are plotted.

Saving Final Figure Plot
At the end of the code (line 457 in fact) the plt.savefig command is commented out until the figure is final. When the command is uncommented the figure is saved using a standardised file name made up of the path, and the quake magnitude, location, time and the phases in the plot.

How I Use It
Initially I run the program to produce a plot of the map and the initial long duration plot (say 900s) with all phases displayed. I then set allphases to false to only display the ray paths of the phases in the plots for subsequent plots. If the filter is 0.7 to 2 Hz, I will usually change the plot_envelopes variable in line 289 to true to add envelopes to the waveforms. Envelopes can get messy with broad bandpass filters and long durations.

For the subsequent plots, I refer to the phase arrival times in the IPython Console of Spyder (or in the phases array on the previous figure) to change the delay and duration of the plots for each phase or group of phases. This gives a detailed plot of the arrival(s) for timing. As the core mantle boundary and inner outer core boundaries may be a different shape to the spherical model, the actual arrivals may be earlier or later than predicted.

Detecting Weak Signals
To help in detecting weak signals, background noise standard deviation lines are plotted on the waveform plots. These are calculated from the signal 900s before to 600s after the earthquake time so that temperature and other periodic effects on the Shake sensitivity are taking into account as well as local noise and noise from other earthquake signals. This is done by slicing the 900 + 600 = 1500 second signals into 15s long pieces and finding the minimum standard deviation for a 15s interval. This seems, by trial and error to be a reasonable fit for the base noise level. If this is not found to be the case, the time intervals can be adjusted to suit in lines 88 and 89 for the background noise start (bnstart) and end (bnend) and in line 157 where the background noise sample (bns) is calculated by dividing (bnend - bnstart) by 15 seconds.

Specific Energy Plot
The other thing I added to aid in detect weak signals was to calculate the Specific Energy signal from the velocity waveform. This is based on the formula E = mvv/2, so by squaring the velocity waveform and dividing by 2, the specific energy plot is obtained. The intent was that this would make weak signal more obvious, and it does to some extent, though perhaps it may benefit from plotting on the log y scale. What I have found is that specific energy often gives a very clear indication of arrival time.

I am trying to add kilometers of depth on the globe but until now no luck to do it.

[Stormchaser]

Thank you Marco for sharing your code!

This is what I use to plot the three principal km depth levels on the globe. I adapted it to your ax1 nomenclature, so it should work.

ax1.text(-0.785, mr-3000, "5150 km", ha="center", va="center", size=10, color="grey")
ax1.text(-0.785, mr-1050, "2890 km", ha="center", va="center", size=10, color="grey")
ax1.text(-0.785, mr+680, "660 km", ha="center", va="center", size=10, color="grey")

[s52sk]

Uff Giuseppe, thank you so much…

I will add it to my code. Thanks once more…

Marco

You’re very welcome Marco, happy to help!

I just installed Python and Obspy on my Windows PC, and i wanted to test those codes, because i think they give a beautiful recap image. I was unable to use the first code of sheeny (raspberryshake.org) because of issues with Cartopy module, while i was testing yours s52sk (raspberryshake.org) i found it difficult to copy the code :c because of indentation issues in Python, could you post it somewhere o load the directly the file with the correct format? Thank you.

[s52sk]

Here are two files

test.py (11.9 KB) globe.py (1.4 KB)

Hi YacineB and Others.

If you want to run my code without the map (i.e. no Cartopy module) delete the code lines 181 to 200.

This bit:

#plot map
plot_map = True
if plot_map:
    latC = (latE+latS)/2        #latitude 1/2 way between station and event/earthquake - may need adjusting!
    lonC = (lonE+lonS)/2        #longitude 1/2 way between station and event/earthquake - may need adjusting!
    if abs(lonE-lonS) > 180:
        lonC = lonC + 180
    plt.figure(figsize=(12, 12))
    ax = plt.axes(projection=ccrs.NearsidePerspective(
                        central_latitude=latC,
                        central_longitude=lonC,
                        satellite_height=100000000.0))      #adjust satellite height to best display station and event/earthquake
    ax.coastlines(resolution='110m')
    ax.stock_img()
    # Create a feature for States/Admin 1 regions at 1:50m from Natural Earth to display state borders
    states_provinces = cfeature.NaturalEarthFeature(
        category='cultural',
        name='admin_1_states_provinces_lines',
        scale='50m',
        facecolor='none')
    ax.add_feature(states_provinces, edgecolor='gray')
    ax.gridlines()
    #plot station position on map
    plt.plot(lonS, latS,
         color='blue', marker='o', markersize=10,
         transform=ccrs.Geodetic(),
         )
    #plot event/earthquake position on map
    plt.plot(lonE, latE,
         color='red', marker='*', markersize=12,
         transform=ccrs.Geodetic(),
         )
    #plot dashed great circle line from event/earthquake to station
    plt.plot([lonS, lonE], [latS, latE],
         color='red', linewidth=2, linestyle='--', 
         transform=ccrs.Geodetic(),
         )
    #plt.savefig('E:\Pictures\Raspberry Shake and Boom\M'+str(mag)+'Quake '+locE+eventID+eventTime.strftime('%Y%m%d %H%M%S UTC Map.png'))   #comment this out till map is right
    plt.show()
    plt.close()     #close this figure so the next one can be created

Then delete the two lines near the start that call cartopy:

import cartopy.crs as ccrs
import cartopy.feature as cfeature

Hi @sheeny and @s52sk – I just came across this post after getting my Shake 1D a week ago, and I wanted to thank you both. This is an enormous amount of work that you’re sharing, and I very much appreciate it. Although I still have a lot (so much…so very much!) to learn about seismology, I think this report has told me that my station successfully picked up a 6.2 quake in Hokkaido!

Have either of you put up a Github repo for this? (Or Gitlab, or any other code sharing repo.) If you haven’t considered this already, I would absolutely recommend it. And if you have, I’d love to take a look!

[sheeny]

G’Day saintaardvark,

Welcome to ShakeNet!

Thanks for the kind words, and you’re most welcome. I am happy to share my code as I’m just learning python as I go, so I’ve had plenty of help along the way, and it’s a way to pay it forward. Feel free to play with the code and make the reports your own.

I have only just started looking at a Github account, so nothing there yet, but I hope to start contributing there as I tidy up my code.

Al.

[Stormchaser]

Hello saintaardvark, and welcome to our community!

Fantastic application of sheeny’s work here, thanks for posting it! And yes, your Shake has definitely captured the M6.2 in Hokkaido, the P-wave is quite prominent in the plot.

[sheeny]

G’Day saintaardvark,

You’ve given me the push I needed… ;o)

I’ve started sharing on Github:

GitHub - sheeny72/RPiSandB: Python programs for Raspberry Shake and Boom...

Al.

[saintaardvark]

@sheeny Woot, that’s awesome! I just took a brief look, and the Crew Dragon splashdown graph caught my eye…wow!

One suggestion: it might be a good thing to add a license explicitly to your code to make clear how (or if!) other people can make use of it. I’m a free-as-in-freedom fan from way back – like you I’ve benefited a lot from other people sharing their work – and I’m happy to offer advice (or just point you at the MIT license). However, it’s very much your decision.

Either way, thanks for putting this up – I’ve already learned a ton from it, and will be finding my way to more intelligent questions to ask in the forum.

[sheeny]

Thanks mate!

I like the look if the MIT License. Nice and simple, so I’ve added that.

BTW the Spacex Dragon signal is from the sonic boom as it entered/passed through the atmosphere, not an actual splash down.

Thanks,

Al.

Just a quick note - I’m a software engineer, not a seismologist but I hang out with a few now that I have a RSB. I’ll go into more detail, hopefully in a few days. I recently got introduced to a PcP “phase” (path, whatever) and this helped me make a drawing for a presentation a couple of days ago. I used circular arcs for the paths - i.e. nothing I learned from your post, but it is awesome.

So is Python, but that’s another topic.
