Make sure to read the detailed Changelog below 👇

v1.8: Input/output

  • Introducing a new file format for providing event information (hypocentral location, magnitude, focal mechanism, moment tensor): the SourceSpec Event File.
  • New HDF5 and TEXT file formats to store spectra
  • Station residuals are now saved in an HDF5 spectrum file, instead of a pickle file
  • New config file option save_spectra to save the spectra to an HDF5 file in the output directory
  • Changes in the YAML output file:
    • bsd (Brune stress drop) parameter renamed to ssd (static stress drop)
    • Store in the event_info section the values of vp, vs and rho close to the hypocenter
    • Store in the inversion_info section the type of wave used for the inversion (P, S, SV or SH)

    • Store the Stations table information on whether each parameter is an outlier (see #38)
    • Make place in the Stations table for station-level errors on radiated energy (even if they are currently not computed)
    • Store in the Events table the number of observations used for computing each summary parameter
    • Store in the Events table weighted means for radiated energy and local magnitude, even if those means are currently the same as the simple means, since those parameters do not have station-level errors defined
    • New columns for apparent stress in both Events and Stations tables
    • Store in the Events table the values of vp, vs and rho close to the hypocenter
    • Store in the Events table the type of wave used for the inversion (P, S, SV or SH)

    • Author, agency and run completion date in the summary table
    • SourceSpec version in the inversion information table
    • Link to input files

v1.8: Processing

  • Possibility of specifying a free surface amplification factor different from 2
  • Possibility of specifying a layered velocity and density model for the source
  • Possibility of specifying a different density for the source and for the stations
  • If density is not provided (i.e., it is None), use the density from the global velocity model "iasp91"
  • Teleseismic geometrical spreading model (Okal, 1992)
  • New weighting option based on inverse frequency, so that lower frequencies have larger weight in the inversion. If traces contain noise, weights will be set to zero where SNR < 3 (see #37)
  • For weights computed from spectral S/N ratio (noise weighting), set to zero all the weights below 20% of the maximum weight, so that these weakly constrained parts of the spectrum are ignored in the inversion

v1.8: Inversion

  • Possibility of using the magnitude (or scalar moment) provided in the event file as initial Mw value for the inversion
  • Reintroduced the possibility of providing the variability around the initial Mw value
  • By combining the previous options, it is now possible to fix the Mw value during the inversion to the value provided in the event file

  • Better control on the frequency range used for computing radiated energy (see #49)
  • Use station-specific radiation pattern (when available) for computing radiated energy

v1.8: Plotting

  • Show the station radiated energy (Er) value on the station spectra plots
  • Show the summary radiated energy (Er) value on the stacked spectra plot

  • Config parameter pi_bsd_min_max renamed to pi_ssd_min_max
  • New option inv_frequency for the config parameter weighting (see #37)
  • Config parameter max_freq_Er replaced by Er_freq_range (see #49)
  • New parameters, qml_event_description and qml_event_description_regex, to obtain the event name from the QuakeML event "description" tag
  • New parameter Mw_0_from_event_file to use the magnitude (or scalar moment) provided in the event file as initial Mw value for the inversion
  • Reintroduced the parameter Mw_0_variability to set the variability around the initial Mw value
  • New parameter plot_save_asap to save plots as soon as they are ready. This uses less memory but slows down the code.

  • Fix bug where local magnitude was not written to the HYPO71 output file, when using weighted mean as reference statistics
  • Fix for Stamen Terrain basemap now requiring an API key from Stadia Maps

v1.8: Requirements

  • Python minimum version raised to 3.7
  • Matplotlib minimum version raised to 3.2
  • Cartopy minimum version raised to 0.21

v1.7 - 2023-03-31

This release improves trace processing through the use of modern routines for instrument correction, optional baseline removal, a new clipping detection algorithm and a better definition of signal and noise time windows.

A new plot is introduced, "stacked spectra" which allows to compare all the spectra at once (and easily detect problematic stations 😉). Also, a new command line tool, plot_sourcepars, allows making aggregate plots of source parameters for many events (starting from the SQLite database).

New config file parameters have been added, while some have been removed. Please run source_spec -U CONFIG_FILE_NAME to update your old config file.

As always, many bugfixes and improvements have been made in this release. Thanks to all the users who took time to write and ask questions (by mail or using the official SourceSpec Discussions).

Big kudos to Kris Vanneste @krisvanneste who helped all along the development with code review and testing and submitted pull requests on noise windows and clipping detection.

Below is the detailed Changelog 👇

v1.7: Input/output

  • Possibility of using a single PAZ file as a "generic" PAZ file for all the stations
  • Command line option --station_metadata (or -w) for overriding the config file parameter with the same name (see pull request #16)

    • Two methods are available:
      • clipping_score: compute a trace clipping score based on the shape of the kernel density estimation.
      • clipping_peaks: check if trace is clipped, based on the number of peaks in the kernel density estimation;

    • The algorithms can also be called from the command line, e.g. for debug purposes, using the shell command clipping_detection.
  • Relax noise window requirements if noise weighting is not used. This is useful for older triggered records with noise windows that are short or even missing entirely (see pull request #18)

    • percentiles (new!)
  • Possibility of defining the number of sigmas for uncertainties on event means and weighted means

v1.7: Plotting

  • New plot: stacked spectra
  • Do not zero-pad traces to common length when plotting, so that missing data at beginning or at the end can be easily detected (see #21)
  • Plot noise and signal windows separately for each component (see #21)
  • Show on the trace plot the reason why a trace has been ignored
  • Logscale for boxplots, if parameters span a large interval (see pull request #15)
