.SH NAME

scautoloc \- SeisComP Documentation
|

.sp
|
|
\fBLocates seismic events.\fP
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.sp
|
|
scautoloc is the \fISeisComP\fP program responsible for automatically locating
|
|
seismic events in near\-real time from \fI\%phase picks\fP considering
|
|
\fI\%associated amplitudes\fP\&. It tries to identify combinations of
|
|
picks that correspond to a common seismic or non\-seismic \fI\%event\fP\&. The
|
|
picks are sent to \fI\%LOCSAT\fP for locating. If the
|
|
produced location meets configurable consistency criteria, it is reported as an
|
|
\fI\%origin\fP object , i.e. passed on to other programs that take the origins
|
|
as input. Phase picks and amplitudes are usually created by \fI\%scautopick\fP
|
|
but can also be provided by other means.
|
|
.sp
|
|
scautoloc normally runs as a \fI\%daemon\fP
|
|
continuously reading picks and amplitudes and processing them in real time. An
|
|
\fI\%offline mode\fP is available as well, e.g., for
|
|
playbacks on demand.
|
|
.SH LOCATION PROCEDURE
|
|
.sp
|
|
The procedure of scautoloc to identify and locate seismic events basically
|
|
consists of the following steps:
|
|
.SS Pick filtering
|
|
.sp
|
|
\fBscautoloc\fP receives and filters phase picks to
|
|
generate \fI\%origins\fP\&. These phase picks are used by default if
|
|
.INDENT 0.0
|
|
.IP \(bu 2
|
|
The phase hint is \(dqP\(dq,
|
|
.IP \(bu 2
|
|
\fBAnd\fP the evaluation mode is \(dqautomatic\(dq. The use of manual picks is
|
|
controlled by \fI\%autoloc.useManualPicks\fP\&.
|
|
.IP \(bu 2
|
|
\fBAnd\fP the evaluation status is not \(dqrejected\(dq, can be overridden by
|
|
\fB\-\-allow\-rejected\-picks\fP,
|
|
.IP \(bu 2
|
|
\fBAnd\fP \fI\%autoloc.authors\fP is empty or the author of the pick is
|
|
listed in \fI\%autoloc.authors\fP
|
|
.IP \(bu 2
|
|
\fBAnd\fP the picks are \fI\%accompanied by amplitudes\fP
|
|
configured in \fI\%autoloc.amplTypeAbs\fP, \fI\%autoloc.amplTypeSNR\fP\&.

The evaluation status of a picks can be set to \(aqrejected\(aq, e.g., by

\fI\%scautopick\fP along with the configuration of \fI\%sendDetections\fP,
|
|
.IP \(bu 2

|
The order of the author IDs in \fI\%autoloc.authors\fP may determine

|
|
Each incoming pick is checked if it is outdated and if the complete set of
|
|
\fI\%associated amplitudes\fP is present already. If
|
|
a station produces picks extremely often, these are considered to be more
|
|
likely glitches resulting in an increased \fI\%SNR\fP threshold.
|
|
.sp
|
|
The filtered picks are passed on to \fI\%association\fP
|
|
and \fI\%nucleation\fP\&.
|
|
.SS Pick association
|
|
.sp
|
|
It is first attempted to associate an incoming pick with a known origin.
|
|
The association is limited to epicentral distances given by
|
|
autoloc.maxStationDistance\&.
|
|
Especially for large events with stable locations based on many picks already
|
|
associated, this is the preferred way to handle the pick. If the association
|
|
succeeds, the nucleation process can be bypassed. Under certain circumstances
|
|
picks are both associated and fed into the nucleator.
|
|
.SS Origin nucleation
|
|
.sp
|
|
If direct association fails, scautoloc tries to make a new origin out of this
|
|
and other unassociated, previously received picks. This process is called
|
|
\(dqnucleation\(dq. scautoloc performs a grid search over space and time, which is
|
|
a rather expensive procedure as it requires lots of resources both in terms
|
|
of CPU and RAM. Additional nucleation algorithms may become available in
|
|
future. The \fI\%spatial grid\fP is a discrete set of
|
|
generally arbitrary points that sample the area of interest sufficiently densely.
|
|
The usability of a pick from a station for a grid point is controlled by the
|
|
\fI\%grid itself\fP and the
|
|
\fI\%station configuration\fP\&.
|
|
.sp
|
|
In the grid search, each of the grid points is taken as a hypothetical
|
|
hypocenter for all incoming
|
|
picks. Each incoming pick is back projected in time for each of the grid
|
|
points, on the assumption that it is a first\-arrival \(dqP\(dq onset. If the pick
|
|
indeed corresponds to a \(dqP\(dq arrival of a seismic event, and if this event was
|
|
recorded at a sufficient number of stations, the back projected new pick will
|
|
cluster with previous picks from the same event. The cluster will be densest
|
|
around the origin time at the grid point closest to the hypocenter. In
|
|
principle, the grid could be so dense that the location obtained from the
|
|
grid search can be used directly. However, as RAM memory as well as CPU speed
|
|
is limited, this is not possible. Therefore, if a cluster is identified as a
|
|
potential origin, it does not necessarily mean that all contributing picks
|
|
actually correspond to \(dqP\(dq arrivals. It may as well be a coincidental match
|
|
caused by the coarseness of the grid or possible contamination by picked noise.
|
|
Therefore, the location program \fI\%LOCSAT\fP is run in order to
|
|
try a location and test if the set of picks indeed forms a consistent hypocenter.
|
|
If the pick residual \fI\%RMS\fP is too large, an improvement is attempted by
|
|
excluding each of
|
|
the contributing picks once to test if a reduction in RMS can be achieved.
|
|
If the new origin meets all requirements, it is accepted as new seismic event
|
|
location.
|
|
.sp
|
|
The grid points are specified in a text file configured in \fI\%autoloc.grid\fP\&.
|
|
The default file shipped with scautoloc defines a grid with global evenly
|
|
distributed points at the surface, and depth points confined to regions of
|
|
known deep seismicity. It may be modified, but should not comprise too many
|
|
grid points (>3000, depending on CPU speed and RAM).
|
|
\fI\%See below\fP for more details about the grid file.
|
|
.SS Origin refinement
|
|
.sp
|
|
An origin produced or updated through association and/or nucleation may still
|
|
be contaminated by phases wrongly interpreted as \(dqP\(dq arrivals. scautoloc
|
|
tries to improve these origins based on e.g. pick SNR and amplitude. In this
|
|
processing step, it is also attempted to associate phases which slipped through
|
|
during the first association attempt, e.g. because the initial location was
|
|
incorrect. If the origin contains a sufficient number of arrivals to assume
|
|
a reasonably well location result, scautoloc additionally tries to associate
|
|
picks as secondary phases such as \fI\%pP\fP\&. Such secondary phases
|
|
are only \(dqweakly
|
|
associated\(dq, i.e. these phases are not used for the location. For the analyst,
|
|
however, it is useful to have possible “pP” phases predefined.
|
|
.SS Origin filtering
|
|
.sp
|
|
This process involves final consistency checks of new/updated origins etc.
|
|
During this procedure, the origins are not modified any more.
|
|
.sp
|
|
In the course of nucleation and association, as well as in the origin
|
|
refinement and filtering, certain heuristic criteria are applied to compare
|
|
the \(dqqualities\(dq of concurring origins. These criteria are combined in an
|
|
internal origin score, which is based on properties of the picks themselves
|
|
in the context of the respective origin. The configurable criteria which origins
|
|
must meet to be reported are:
|
|
.INDENT 0.0
|
|
.IP \(bu 2
|
|
Minimum number of phases per origins: \fI\%autoloc.minPhaseCount\fP,
|
|
.IP \(bu 2
|
|
Station residual residual: \fI\%autoloc.maxResidual\fP,
|
|
.IP \(bu 2
|
|
Origin RMS: \fI\%autoloc.maxRMS\fP,
|
|
.IP \(bu 2
|
|
Maximum depth: \fI\%autoloc.maxDepth\fP),
|
|
.IP \(bu 2
|
|
Azimuthal gap: \fI\%autoloc.maxSGAP\fP).
|
|
.UNINDENT
|
|
.sp
|
|
In addition, the amplitudes provide valuable means of comparing origin
|
|
qualities. Obviously, a pick with a high \fI\%SNR\fP will less likely be a transient
|
|
burst of noise than a pick merely exceeding the SNR threshold. A high\-SNR
|
|
pick thus increases the origin score. Similarly, a pick associated to a large
|
|
absolute amplitude is more likely to correspond to a real seismic onset,
|
|
especially in case of simultaneous, large\-amplitude observations at neighboring
|
|
stations. A special case arises, when several nearby stations report amplitudes
|
|
above a certain “XXL threshold”. For details see the section
|
|
\fI\%Preliminary origins\fP\&.
|
|
The amplitudes used by scautoloc are of type \(dqsnr\(dq and \(dqmb\(dq, corresponding
|
|
to the (relative, unit\-less) SNR amplitude and the (absolute) \(dqmb\(dq amplitude,
|
|
respectively. These two amplitudes are provided by \fI\%scautopick\fP\&.
|
|
In case of a setup in which scautopick is replaced by a different automatic
|
|
picker, these two amplitudes must nevertheless be provided to scautoloc.
|
|
Otherwise, the picks are not used. At the moment this is a strict requirement,
|
|
in the future it may be changed.
|
|
.SH GRID FILE
|
|
.sp
|
|
The grid configuration file consists of one line per grid point, each grid
|
|
point specified by 6 columns:
|
|
.INDENT 0.0
|
|
.INDENT 3.5
|
|
.sp
|
|
.nf
|

.ft C
|

|
|
.ft P
|
|
.fi
|
|
.UNINDENT
|
|
.UNINDENT
|
|
.sp
|
|
The columns are grid point coordinates (latitude, longitude, depth), radius,
|
|
maximum station distance and minimum pick count, respectively. The above line
|
|
sets a grid point centered at 10° S / 105° E at the depth of 20 km. It is
|
|
sensitive to events within 5° of the center. Stations in a distance of up
|
|
to 180° may be used to nucleate an event. At least 8 picks have to contribute
|
|
to an origin at this location. The radius should be chosen large enough to
|
|
allow grid cells to overlap, but not too large. The size also determines the
|
|
time windows for grouping the picks in the grid search. If the time windows
|
|
are too long the risk of contamination with wrong picks increases. The maximum
|
|
station distance allows to restrict to certain stations for the according grid
|
|
points. E.g. stations from Australia are normally not required to create an
|
|
event in Europe. If there is doubt, set the value to 180. The minimum pick
|
|
count specifies how many picks are required for a given grid point to allow
|
|
the creation of a new origin. The default grid file contains a global grid
|
|
with even spacing of ~5° with additional points at greater depths where
|
|
deep\-focus events are known to occur.
|
|
.SH STATION CONFIGURATION FILE
|
|
.sp
|
|
The station configuration file contains lines consisting of network code,
|
|
station code, usage flag (0 or 1) and maximum nucleation distance. Using a
|
|
flag of 1 indicates the station shall be used by scautoloc. If it shall not
|
|
be used, 0 must be specified here. The maximum nucleation distance is the
|
|
distance (in degrees) from the station up to which this station may contribute
|
|
to a new origin. If this distance is 180°, this station may contribute to new
|
|
origins world\-wide. However, if the distance is only 10°, the range of this
|
|
station is limited. This is a helpful setting in case of mediocre stations
|
|
in a region where there are numerous good and reliable stations nearby. The
|
|
station will then not pose a risk for locations generated outside the maximum
|
|
nucleation distance. Network and station code may be wildcards (*) for
|
|
convenience

The example above means that all stations from all networks by default can
|
|
create new events within 90°. The GE stations can create events at any distance,
|
|
except for the rather noisy station HLG in the network GE, which is restricted
|
|
to 10°. By setting the 3rd column to 0, TE RGN is ignored.
|
|
.SH PRELIMINARY ORIGINS
|
|
.sp
|
|
Usually, scautoloc will not report origins with less than a certain
|
|
number of defining phases (specified by \fI\%autoloc.minPhaseCount\fP),
|
|
typically 6\-8 phases, with 6 being the absolute minimum. However,
|
|
in case of potentially dangerous events, it may be desirable to
|
|
receive \(dqheads up\(dq alert prior to reaching the minimum phase count,
|
|
especially in a tsunami warning context. If very large amplitudes
|
|
are registered at a sufficient number of stations, it is possible to
|
|
produce preliminary origins (hereafter called \fI\%XXL events\fP)
|
|
based on less than 6 picks.
|
|
.sp
|
|
Prerequisite is that all these picks have extraordinary large amplitudes of type
|
|
\fI\%autoloc.amplTypeAbs\fP and \fI\%SNR\fP and lie within a
|
|
relatively small region. Such picks are hereafter called \fI\%XXL picks\fP\&.
|
|
A pick is internally tagged as “XXL pick” if its
|
|
amplitude exceeds a certain threshold (specified by
|
|
\fI\%autoloc.xxl.minAmplitude\fP) and has a SNR > \fI\%autoloc.xxl.minSNR\fP\&.
|
|
For larger SNR picks with
|
|
smaller amplitude can reach the XXL tag, because it is justified to
|
|
treat a large\-SNR pick as XXL pick even if its amplitude is somewhat
|
|
below the XXL amplitude threshold. The XXL criterion should be
|
|
judged as workaround to identify picks which justify the nucleation
|
|
of preliminary origins.
|
|
.SH LOGGING
|
|
.sp
|
|
scautoloc produces two kinds of log files in \fB@LOGDIR@:\fP
|
|
.INDENT 0.0
|
|
.IP \(bu 2
|
|
A normal application log file containing the processing and location history.
|
|
.IP \(bu 2
|
|
An optional pick log.
|
|
.UNINDENT
|
|
.sp
|
|
The pick log contains all received picks with associated amplitudes in a
|
|
simple text file, one entry per line. This pick log should always be active
|
|
as it allows pick playback for trouble shooting and optimization of scautoloc.
|
|
If something did not work as expected, playing back the pick log will provide
|
|
a useful way to find the source of the problem without the need of processing
|
|
the raw waveforms again. The application log file contains miscellaneous
|
|
information in variable format. The format of the entries may change anytime,
|
|
so no downstream application should ever depend on it. There are some special
|
|
lines, however. These contain certain keywords that allow convenient filtering
|
|
of the most important information using grep. These keywords are NEW, UPD and
|
|
OUT, for a new, updated and output origin, respectively. They can be used like:
|
|
.INDENT 0.0
|
|
.INDENT 3.5
|
|
.sp
|
|
.nf
|
|
.ft C
|
|
grep \(aq\e(NEW\e\-\-\-UPD\e\-\-\-OUT\e)\(aq ~/.seiscomp/log/scautoloc.log
|
|
.ft P
|
|
.fi
|
|
.UNINDENT
|
|
.UNINDENT
|
|
.sp
|
|
This will extract all lines containing the above keywords, providing a very
|
|
simple (and primitive) origin history.
|
|
.SH PUBLICATION INTERVAL
|
|
.sp
|
|
In principle, scautoloc produces a new solution (origin) after each processed
|
|
pick. This is desirable at an early stage of an event, when every additional
|
|
information may lead to significant improvements. A consolidated solution,
|
|
consisting of many (dozens) of picks, on the other hand may not always benefit
|
|
greatly from additional picks that usually originate from large distances.
|
|
Updates after each pick are therefore unnecessary. It is possible to control
|
|
the time interval between subsequent origins reported by scautoloc. The time
|
|
interval is a linear function of the number of picks:
|
|
.INDENT 0.0
|
|
.INDENT 3.5
|
|
.sp
|
|
.nf
|
|
.ft C
|
|
Δt = aN + b
|
|
.ft P
|
|
.fi
|
|
.UNINDENT
|
|
.UNINDENT
|
|
.sp
|
|
Setting a = b = 0, then Δt is always zero, meaning there is never a delay in
|
|
sending new solutions. This is not desirable. Setting a = 0.5, each pick will
|
|
increase the time interval until the next solution will be sent by 0.5s. This
|
|
means that scautoloc will wait 10 seconds after an origin with 20 picks is sent.
|
|
The values for a and b can be configured by \fI\%autoloc.publicationIntervalTimeSlope\fP
|
|
and \fI\%autoloc.publicationIntervalTimeIntercept\fP, respectively.
|
|
.SH HOUSEKEEPING
|
|
.sp
|
|
scautoloc keeps pick objects in memory only for a certain amount of time. This time
|
|
span is with respect to pick time and specified in seconds in \fI\%buffer.pickKeep\fP\&.
|
|
The default value is 21600
|
|
seconds (6 hours). After this time, unassociated picks expire. Newly arriving
|
|
picks older than that (e.g. in the case of high data latencies) are ignored.
|
|
Origins will live slightly longer, including the picks associated to them. The time
|
|
to buffer origins is configured by \fI\%buffer.originKeep\fP\&.
|
|
.sp
|
|
In a setup where many stations have considerable latencies, e.g. dialup
|
|
stations, the expiration times should be chosen long enough to accommodate
|
|
late picks. On the other hand, the memory usage for large networks may be a
|
|
concern as well. scautoloc periodically cleans up its memory from expired
|
|
objects. The time interval between subsequent housekeepings is specified in
|
|
\fI\%buffer.cleanupInterval\fP in seconds.
|
|
.SH TEST MODE
|
|
.sp
|
|
In the test mode, scautoloc connects to a messaging server as usual and
|
|
receives picks and amplitudes from there, but no results are sent back to
|
|
the server. Log files are written as usual. This mode can be used to test
|
|
new parameter settings before implementation in the real\-time system. It also
|
|
provides a simple way to log picks from a real\-time system to the pick log.
|
|
.SH DAEMON MODE
|
|
.sp
|
|
For running scautoloc continuously in the background as a daemon it must be
|
|
enabled and started:
|
|
.INDENT 0.0
|
|
.INDENT 3.5
|
|
.sp
|
|
.nf
|

|
.UNINDENT
|
|
.UNINDENT
|
|
.SH OFFLINE MODE
|
|
.sp
|
|
scautoloc normally runs as a daemon in the background, continuously reading
|
|
picks and amplitudes and processing them in real time. However, scautoloc
|
|
may also be operated in offline mode. This is useful for debugging. Offline
|
|
mode is activated by adding the command\-line parameter \fB\-\-ep\fP or
|
|
\fB\-\-offline\fP\&. When operated in offline mode,
|
|
scautoloc will not connect to the messaging. Instead, it reads picks from a
|
|
\fI\%SCML\fP file provided with \fB\-\-ep\fP or from standard input in the pick file
|
|
format. The station coordinates are read from the inventory in the database or
|
|
from the file either defined in \fI\%autoloc.stationLocations\fP or
|
|
\-\e\-station\-locations .

In the above example some of the picks are not in right order of

|
time because of data latencies. In offline mode scautoloc will not connect to

the database, in consequence the station coordinates cannot be read from the

.SH SCAUTOPICK AND SCAUTOLOC INTERACTION
|
|
.sp
|
|
The two main programs in the automatic event detection and location processing
|
|
chain, \fI\%scautopick\fP and \fBscautoloc\fP, only work together if the
|
|
information needed by scautoloc can be supplied by \fI\%scautopick\fP and received
|
|
by \fBscautoloc\fP through the message group defined by
|
|
\fBconnection.subscription\fP or through \fI\%SCML\fP (\fB\-\-ep\fP,
|
|
\fB\-i\fP). This document explains current
|
|
implicit dependencies between these two utilities and is meant as a guide
|
|
especially for those who plan to modify or replace one or both of these
|
|
utilities by own developments.
|
|
.sp
|
|
Both scautopick and scautoloc are subject to ongoing developments.
|
|
The explanation given below can therefore only be considered a hint, but not
|
|
a standard.
|
|
.SS Picks
|
|
.sp
|
|
\fBscautoloc\fP works with
|
|
\fI\%seismic phase picks\fP\&.
|
|
In addition, certain amplitudes are used as a kind of quality criterion for the
|
|
pick, allowing picks with a higher absolute amplitude or signal\-to\-noise ratio
|
|
to be given priority in the processing over weak low\-quality picks. Due to the
|
|
filtering of picks by phaseHint it is highly recommended to always set the
|
|
phaseHint attribute with the appropriate phase name in \fI\%scautopick\fP\&. There
|
|
is no restriction regarding the choice of the publicID of the pick.
|
|
.SS Amplitudes
|
|
.sp
|
|
By configuration, the performance of \fBscautoloc\fP is also controlled by
|
|
considering certain amplitudes accompanying the picks. Two kinds of amplitudes
|
|
may be used together
|
|
.INDENT 0.0
|
|
.IP \(bu 2
|
|
An absolute amplitude like the one used for calculation of the magnitude \(dqmb\(dq.
|
|
.IP \(bu 2
|
|
Relative amplitude like the dimension\-less signal\-to\-noise ratio amplitude \(dqsnr\(dq.
|
|
.UNINDENT
|
|
.sp
|
|
Neither amplitude is used for magnitude computation by scautoloc. The default
|
|
amplitude types used by scautoloc are of type \(dqmb\(dq and \(dqsnr\(dq. These defaults
|
|
can be overridden in \fBscautoloc.cfg\fP:
|
|
.INDENT 0.0
|
|
.INDENT 3.5
|
|
.sp
|
|
.nf
|
|
.ft C
|

autoloc.amplTypeSNR = snr
|
|
autoloc.amplTypeAbs = mb
|
|
.ft P
|
|
.fi
|
|
.UNINDENT
|
|
.UNINDENT
|
|
.sp
|
|
If for instance an alternate picker implementation doesn\(aqt produce \(dqmb\(dq\-type
|
|
absolute amplitude but e.g. \(dqxy\(dq, then \fI\%autoloc.amplTypeAbs\fP needs to be set to
|
|
\(dqxy\(dq to have them recognized by scautoloc.
|
|
.sp
|
|
Currently there \fBmust\fP be an absolute and a relative amplitude for every pick
|
|
as configured by \fI\%autoloc.amplTypeAbs\fP and \fI\%autoloc.amplTypeSNR\fP\&.
|
|
These amplitudes must be computed by \fI\%scautopick\fP\&.
|
|
\fBscautoloc\fP will always wait until both amplitudes have arrived, which
|
|
results in an overall processing delay, corresponding to the usually delayed availability
|
|
of amplitudes with respect to the corresponding pick. The default absolute
|
|
amplitude \(dqmb\(dq, for instance, takes a hard\-coded 30\-seconds time interval to
|
|
be computed. This length of data thus has to be waited for, plus a little
|
|
extra because of the size of the miniSEED records.
|
|
.sp
|
|
\fBNOTE:\fP
|
|
.INDENT 0.0
|
|
.INDENT 3.5
|
|
Consider \fI\%scautopick\fP with \fI\%amplitudes.enableUpdate\fP in order
|
|
to provide mb amplitudes with shorter delays.
|
|
.UNINDENT
|
|
.UNINDENT
|
|
.sp
|
|
An alternate picker
|
|
implementation could produce a different absolute\-amplitude type than \(dqmb\(dq.
|
|
That amplitude might be based on a different filter pass band and much shorter
|
|
time window than the default \(dqmb\(dq amplitude, thus allowing a significantly
|
|
improved processing speed. The choice of amplitude type and time window greatly
|
|
depends on the network. For a regional or even global network the 30\-seconds
|
|
processing delay won\(aqt play a role, and we need the mb amplitude anyway. Here
|
|
the delay of solutions produced by scautoloc is mostly controlled by the seismic
|
|
traveltimes. Not so in case of a local or small\-regional network, where the
|
|
mb\-type amplitude is of limited value and where a meaningful absolute amplitude
|
|
might well be produced with just a second of data and at higher frequencies.
|
|
Currently this isn\(aqt possible with scautopick but this issue will be addressed
|
|
in a future version.
|
|
.SS Manual origins
|
|
.sp
|
|
Manual origins created, e.g., in \fI\%scolv\fP may be considered for additional
|
|
association of picks as controlled by \fI\%autoloc.useManualOrigins\fP\&.
