Output File Formats

The SourceSpec main code, source_spec will produce the following output files (EVID is replaced by the actual event ID):

  • EVID.ssp.yaml: YAML file containing the estimated spectral parameters (summary values and per station values)

  • EVID.ssp.out (deprecated): text file containing the estimated spectral parameters (summary values and per station values)

  • EVID.ssp.log: log file in text format (including the command line arguments, for reproducibility)

  • EVID.ssp.conf: the input config file (for reproducibility)

  • EVID.residuals.hdf5: station residuals in HDF5 File Format

  • EVID.spectra.hdf5: (optional) spectra in HDF5 File Format

  • EVID.ssp.h: hypocenter file in HYPO71 format with the estimated moment magnitude (only if an input HYPO71 file is provided)

  • EVID.xml: updated QuakeML file with the results of the SourceSpec inversion (only if an input QuakeML file is provided)

The following plots will be created, in png, pdf or svg format:

  • EVID.traces.png[.pdf,.svg]: trace plots

  • EVID.ssp.png[.pdf,.svg]: spectral plots

  • EVID.sspweight.png[.pdf,.svg]: spectral weight plots

  • EVID.boxplot.png[.pdf,.svg]: box plots for the earthquake source parameters retrieved at each station

  • Misfit plots, when using “grid search” or “importance sampling” for the spectral inversion

As an option, station maps can be created (requires Cartopy):

  • EVID.map_mag.png[.pdf,.svg]: station map with symbols colored by estimated moment magnitude

  • EVID.map_fc.png[.pdf,.svg]: station map with symbols colored by estimated corner frequency

As an option, the retrieved source parameters (per station and average) can be appended to a SQLite database, whose path is defined in the configuration file.

Finally, always as an option, source_spec can generate a report in HTML format.
