pygrnwang 2.0.0

A Python library for computing Coulomb Failure Stress Change.

Introduction

This Python package serves as the frontend for calculating and building a Green's function library for synthetic seismograms. The backend consists of Wang Rongjiang's program for calculating synthetic seismograms, including EDGRN/EDCMP, QSEIS_STRESS, SPGRN, and QSSP (Wang, 1999; Wang 2003; Wang and Wang 2007; Wang et al., 2017). The code includes two parallel modes: one using the multiprocessing library (single-node multi-process) and the other using MPI (multi-node).

Installation

1. For user mode (with Python 3.12)

pip install pygrnwang

2. For developer mode

conda create -n pygrnwang python=3.12
conda install gfortran obspy numpy scipy pandas matplotlib tqdm mpi4py -c conda-forge
git clone https://github.com/Zhou-Jiangcheng/pygrnwang.git
cd pygrnwang
pip install -e . --no-build-isolation

Usage

        max_harmonic=10000,
        source_radius=0,
        source_duration=wavelet_duration * sampling_interval,
        output_observables=output_observables,
        time_window=time_window,
        time_reduction=-20,
        path_nd=r'path\ak135fc.nd',
        earth_model_layer_num=None,
        physical_dispersion=0,
        check_finished_tpts_table=False
    )
    create_grnlib_qssp2020_parallel(
        path_green=path_green, check_finished=False, cal_spec=False
    )

2. An example for reading from a Green's function library created by qssp2020

from pygrnwang.read_qssp2020 import seek_qssp2020


if __name__ == "__main__":
    seismograms, tpts_table, first_p, first_s, grn_dep, grn_receiver, green_dist = (
        seek_qssp2020(
            path_green="/e/grns_test/test_qssp",
            event_depth_km=10,
            receiver_depth_km=0,
            az_deg=60,
            dist_km=5000,
            focal_mechanism=[30, 40, 50],
            srate=1,
            before_p=20,
            pad_zeros=False,
            shift=False,
            rotate=True,
            only_seismograms=False,
            output_type='disp',
            model_name=r"path\ak135fc.nd",
        )
    )

    import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
    fig, axs = plt.subplots(nrows=3, ncols=1)
    axs[0].plot(seismograms[0])
    axs[1].plot(seismograms[1])
    axs[2].plot(seismograms[2])
    plt.show()
