Perform relocation

Given the three input files

  • Parameter file in YAML format 3_input_params/input_params_loc.yaml.
  • True model file in HDF5 format 2_models/model_ckb_N61_61_61.h5.
  • Traveltime data file in TEXT format OUTPUT_FILES/OUTPUT_FILES_signal/src_rec_file_forward_errloc.dat.

users can perform inversion by

mpirun -n 8 TOMOATT -i 3_input_params/input_params_loc.yaml

The results are output to the folder OUTPUT_FILES/OUTPUT_FILES_loc.

  • The relocated earthquakes and synthetic traveltimes can be found as OUTPUT_FILES/OUTPUT_FILES_loc/src_rec_file_reloc_0201.dat.
  • The relocated earthquakes and updated observed traveltimes can be found as OUTPUT_FILES/OUTPUT_FILES_loc/src_rec_file_reloc_0201_obs.dat.

It is noted that the observed traveltimes in the OUTPUT_FILES/OUTPUT_FILES_loc/src_rec_file_reloc_0201_obs.dat are negatively deviated based on the deviation of otigin times. This DATA file can be used for subsequent model update process.

Some remarks about relocation

1. Using different types of data

In the default parameter file 3_input_params/input_params_loc.yaml, only absolute traveltimes are involoved in the relocation process by setting

relocation: # update earthquake hypocenter and origin time (when run_mode : 2 and 3) ... # -------------- using absolute traveltime data -------------- abs_time: use_abs_time : true # 'yes' for using absolute traveltime data to update ortime and location; 'no' for not using (no need to set parameters in this section) # -------------- using common source differential traveltime data -------------- cs_dif_time: use_cs_time : false # 'yes' for using common source differential traveltime data to update ortime and location; 'no' for not using (no need to set parameters in this section) # -------------- using common receiver differential traveltime data -------------- cr_dif_time: use_cr_time : false # 'yes' for using common receiver differential traveltime data to update ortime and location; 'no' for not using (no need to set parameters in this section)

Users can change the options use_abs_time, use_cs_time, use_cr_time to include absolute traveltimes and/or common-source differential arrival times and/or common-receiver differential arrival times.
