The dialogue that appears on activating the program asks about the following parameters. Enter appropriate values according to the instructions written in red.

 

Data directory name [demo/synth_SN100_18mGamR0.8RV0.1N6] > Enter the name of the folder where the data files are stored. Separate the folder path with slashes (/).

 

* Execution parameters

Do spectral analysis [e.g., Calculate phase velocities and other properties of surface waves]? (y/n=1/0) [1]  Set this option to 1 to execute spectral analysis and phase velocity analysis.

Preprocess the data? [This includes elimination of the trend (including subtraction of the mean as a special case), application of tapers, bandpass filtering, decimation and correction for differences in instrumental response] (y/n=1/0) [0]  Set this option to 1 to execute the data preprocessing.

Automatically select data portions to be used? (y/n=1/0)[1]  Setting this option to 1 means that data portions to be used in the estimation of spectra are selected automatically from the waveform data (click here for the algorithm of automatic selection) and that a segment file is generated (click here for the segment file names and their format). Create a segment file on your own and set this option to 0 if you wish to make your own selection of the portions of the waveform to be used in the analysis.

Delete temporary data files? (y/n=1/0)[0]  Setting this option to 1 ensures that all intermediary data, generated on the way, are deleted when the data processing is over, except for the final analysis results and a small number of input files and log files. Setting this to 0 allows all intermediary data to be preserved.

Plot analysis results? (y/n=1/0)[1]  Set this option to 1 to plot the analysis results.

 

* Basic parameters

Take a look at Estimating Spectral Densities and A Knack for Setting Parameters before proceeding to enter the following parameters.

Duration of data segments for the evaluation of spectra [s] [10.24]  The segment duration [seconds] used in the estimation of spectra (segment averaging method). When the number of data points, calculated by (segment duration) / (sampling time interval), is not equal to a power of two, it is automatically zero-padded to a power of two during FFT (for the sake of efficiency, it is recommendable to adjust values to produce a power of two).

Number of data segments over which averages are taken. Enter 0 or a very large number if you wish to use all segments simultaneously [10] The number of segments (integer) used in the estimation of spectra (segment averaging method). Entering a large integer, which exceeds the total number of segments catalogued in the segment file, or zero means "segment averaging using a single segment (virtually no segment averaging)."

Band width of the Parzen spectral window [Hz] [0.3]  The width of the spectral (Parzen) window [Hz] used in the estimation of spectra (smoothing method). Entering zero means "a zero window width (virtually no use of a spectral window)."

 

* Data file and array geometry

A preexisting seismfile demo/synth_SN100_18mGamR0.8RV0.1/seism.d (for the data file names and the array geometry) has been detected.  Prescribe the array geometry, waveform components and the sampling time interval in \(data folder)\seism.d. When no file is found under this name, interactive questions generate one automatically.

----------------citation begins here-------------------

#COMP 3  (1 ud / 2 ns & ew / 3 three components) Enter the waveform components (type 1, 2 or 3 following a space or a tab after #COMP).

#DT 0.01  Enter the time interval of waveform sampling (type a figure following a space or a tab after #DT).

0.000000      0.000000      S01.d 1  From left to right, the x coordinate [km], y coordinate [km], data file name, and integer 1 or 0 (1 if center).

0.000001      0.018000      S02.d 0

0.017119      0.005562      S03.d 0

0.010581      -0.014562     S04.d 0

-0.010579     -0.014563     S05.d 0

-0.017119     0.005564      S06.d 0

 

Notes

(*1) Appending "#" at the head of a line comments that line out (except for #COMP and #DT). There is no rule on the order of arrangement of these data. There is no special format for the numbers.

(*2) When only two sensors constitute the array, think of either one of them as being at the center and the other as lying around the circle, and accordingly assign them integers of 1 and 0 to the right of the data file names.

(*3) When there is only one sensor constituting the array, the integer to the right of the data file name can be either 0 or 1 (the H/V spectrum alone is calculated, and there will be no array processing).

(*4) When the records have three components (#COMP 3), the H/V spectrum is calculated using the file indicated in the top data line.
