Easy Python program for reading and plotting SEED microbarometer data. Uses ObsPy.
python -m pip install -e .
If you have trouble installing PROJ.4, try
conda install cartopy
import microbarometer as mb
data = mb.load('myfile.asc')
ObsPy is mostly for MiniSEED, and wasn't able to read the particular .seed
files we had.
An alternative method is to convert SEED to SAC format:
- Download
rdseed utility.
The executable
rdseed.rh6.linux_64
worked for me on Ubuntu as well. - extract executable. For Ubuntu:
tar xf rdseedv*.tar.gz rdseedv*/rdseed.rh6.linux_64 mv rdseedv*/rdseed* rdseed
- convert SEED to SAC, for example to write SAC ASCII (readable by Pandas)
../rdseed -f myfile.seed -o 6 -d
Other output formats are possible via the -o
option.
To get help:
./rdseed -h
channel BDO is "Bottom Pressure" in Pascals.
- Convert SEED to SAC (readable by ObsPy, MatSAC, etc.):
./rdseed -f myfile.seed -d
- List time range of data with
-t
option:./rdseed -f myfile.seed -t
- Read SEED headers (extensive metadata):
./rdseed -f myfile.seed -s
