earthquake LOcation by waveform staKIng

LOKI

LOKI (LOcation of seismic events through traveltime staKIng) is a code that performs earthquake detection and location using waveform coherence analysis (waveform stacking).

Installation

It is always good habit to create (or work) in environments. For more information please see conda or pipenv

For example:

$ conda create -n loki python=3.7
$ conda activate loki

To use LOKI you will need:

• GCC6 or later versions or any C compiler that supports OpenMP calls
• Python3 libraries, numpy (needed also at installation stage) and obspy

The software now comes with an installer! simply digit:

$ # activate the envionment (optional)
$ pip install numpy  # v1.18 or higher (needed for C-compilation)
$ cd WHERE_LOKI_IS_STORED
$ pip install .

NB: before running the pip install command, make sure to change accordingly the os.environ["CC"] variable with a compiler that supports OpenMP calls.

Testing

If installation didn't throw any error, you should be fine. If you still want to double-check, the ultimiate installation, you could find a tests dir with an executable script. Run it anc compare the output results with the expected_results dir. Results will be equals up to significant float digits.

Usage

To use LOKI you could use the carbon-print RunLoki.py script (in bin folder). You could copy it anywhere in the system, just make sure to make it executable. Open the file to change the configuration's options at your preference.
