Antelope

Submitted by kjensen on Fri, 2008-07-04 14:44.
Antelope is coming along well. I have figured out the basics, and I have caught some of its weaknesses. It crashes on me a lot when I delete bad picks. Antelope likes to pick the s-wave arrivals on the vertical component when it could easily pick them on horizontal components, and it also misses some locatable events. I have gone through almost two months worth of data, ~700 events, and now I have to go back through more than half of that to look for events that Antelope has missed. I should finish about three months of data by July 7th or 8th. The more data I have the better the S-P time tomography will be of the Oaxaca segement of the Mexican subduction zone.

Antelope is powerful but can

Antelope is powerful but can be tempermental and buggy. If you run into any issues that are too pervasive, you may want to contact someone at Passcal. They are antelope support for IRIS member institutions. Eliana Arias is a great resource.

I have already tried to

I have already tried to contact someone at Passcal, but they won't help me unless my host upgrades to Antelope 4.10, we are currently running 4.8. Mike Brudzinski has received 4.10 in the mail and is going to try and install it. It may not happen before I leave, but I can manage. I have found ways to troubleshoot the problems. Hopefully the data will not get corrupt. I saw on some website that if you close dbloc2 without saving it may corrupt the data. However, this may not even be a problem anyway. I will find out when I try to do a tomography model of the study area.

It crashes on me too.

It crashes on me too. instead of deleting bad picks outright, I just mark them as delete, rather than as s or p. I'm surprised about the s wave picks, i haven't had that problem.
