SourceSpec is a collection of command line tools to compute earthquake source parameters (seismic moment, corner frequency, radiated energy, source size, static stress drop, apparent stress) from the inversion of P-wave and S-wave displacement spectra recorded at one or more seismic stations. SourceSpec also computes attenuation parameters (t-star, quality factor) and, as a bonus, local magnitude.
See :cite:t:`Madariaga2011` for a primer on earthquake source parameters and scaling laws.
Go to section :ref:`theoretical_background:Theoretical Background` to get more information on how the code works.
SourceSpec is written in Python and requires a working Python environment to run (see :ref:`installation:Installation`). However, since SourceSpec is based on command line, you don’t have to know how to code in Python to use it.
The SourceSpec package is made of several command line tools:
source_spec: Compute earthquake source parameters from the inversion of P- or S-wave spectra.source_model: Direct modelling of P- or S-wave spectra, based on user-defined earthquake source parameters.source_residuals: Compute station residuals fromsource_specoutput.clipping_detection: Test the clipping detection algorithm.plot_sourcepars: 1D or 2D plot of source parameters from a sqlite parameter file.
