NAME xm_hypo - Hypocenter format for the xmap8 program SYNOPSIS xm_hypo - Input File Format DESCRIPTION The default format for hypocenters in xmap8 is UW pickfile format for hypocenters and focal mechanisms. New: Now you can import hypoinverse and CalTech Catalogue hypocenters into xmap8. See below. Importation of fpfit output is still not available. FORMAT Can have Several Source Files input. Use: -S file1 -S file2..... (S = Source) The hypocenter format is determined by env variable: XMA_HYPO_FORMAT which can be set to any of: { UW , uw , hypoinverse , cit , CIT } Or it can be changed on the fly on the command line by including the suffix on the -S option, e.g. -Suw files -Scit file ...etc. There is now a new format which is an augmented UW file card that include the unique name of the file added on the end, separated by a colon (:). This allows you to access a database of digital waveforms (or other information) which is accessed via the unique identification. e.g. setenv XMA_HYPO_FORMAT hypoinverse the default is UW format, described below. cit = CalTech Catalog format hypoinverse = (one variant of) hypoinverse format ---------------------------------------- Hypocenters are normally screened spatially to limit the number stored in memory. Normally, hypocenters located outside of the window surrounding the target are excluded. To force inclusion of all hypocenters into memory use the command line option -force_source This will force all hypocenters to be included (no spatial selection). This is important to use when applying the "connect" option on the Source menu. This option requires that the source files being connected have 1-1 correspondence. ---------UW FORMAT----------------------- ident sec lat long depth mag np ns gap delt err rms qq mod A 9005051858 24.25 36N0127 117W5001 2.50 0.0 05/005 266 01 0.05 00.2AD F1 A 9005061311 7.80 36N0275 117W5144 2.02 0.2 06/005 304 05 0.03 00.3AD F1 A 9005061308 47.18 36N0005 117W4801 2.07 0.0 05/005 200 00 0.05 00.2AD F1 A 9005061309 5.68 36N0131 117W5024 2.08 0.0 06/006 273 02 0.03 00.1AD F1 See Details below. Lat and Long are in the format ddNmmmm where mmmm is minutes*100 N can be either N or S W can be either W or E ################################# FOCAL-MECHANISM file is also in UW format: Can have Several focal Mechanism Files input. Use: -F file1 -F file2..... It is organized as pairs of A and M cards. The A cards are the same as those described above. An example of an A & M-card pair is: A 9204230225 29.57 33N5728 116W1868 12.23 3.3 82/000 63 7 0.18 0.2BA CN M F 345 45 G 255 90 U 165 45 V 435 0 P 219 29 T 470 30 M: strk1 dip1 strk2 dip2 pol1 dip1 pol2 dip2 p-axis pdip taxis t-dip These pairs of cards must stay together and there may be many concatenated in one file. The first pair of strk-dip represent, by convention, the focal plane and the second the auxiliary plane. These can be switched by running a utility called switchfoc, or they can be switched in xmap8. See accelerator keys. ---------------------------------------------------------- Details of A-card - UW FORMAT A The header line begins with a 'A' in the first col and contains all of the date-time information for the event, as well as location, magnitude and some quality information. The approved "types" which can appear in column 2 are: X- Known explosion, P- Probable explo- sion, F- Felt event, T- Teleseisms, H- Hand picked (previous 'types' take precedence), L- Low frequency volcanic, C- Centralia explosion, R- regional earthquake. Quality factors (UW) : Q1 C => rms <0.5 err <5.0 B => rms < 0.3 err < 2.5 errz<5 A => rms <0.15 err< 1.0 errz < 2 Q2 C => gap < 180 dmin < 50 B => gap < 135 dmin < max(2*depth,5) A => gap < 90 dmin < max(depth,5) Type,Year,Month,Day,Hour,Min,Sec,Lat,NS,Latmin*100,Longitude,EW,Lonmin*100 Depth,Fix,Magnitude,Numpobs,Numsobs,Gap,Mindelta,RMS,ERR,Q1,Q2,Velmodel FORMAT('A',A1,5I2,F6.2,I3,A1,I4,I4,A1,I4, F6.2,A1,F4.1,I3,'/',I3,I4,I3,F5.2,f5.1,2A1,1x,A2) ATYYMMDDHHMM SS.SS LLNMMMM LLLWMMMM DD.DD* M.M NN/NNN GGG DD R.RR EE.EQQ VV M Mechanism line which summarizes the focal mechanism for this event.
