AlpArrayGMV

Python code for ground motion visualization for AlpArray (2016-2022).

The code and features are updated regularly.

Brief Descriptions of All Features:

Simple GMV (GMV_plot)

only GMV and 3-componet seismograms (ZRT) of reference station

GMV + fk-diagram (GMV_FK)

GMV, 3-componet seismograms (ZRT) of reference station, and an fk-diagram of subarray (vertical component only)

GMV + fk-diagram + raypath (GMV_FK_ray)

GMV, 3-componet seismograms (ZRT) of reference station, an fk-diagram of subarray (vertical component only), plus a raypath plot

GMV +4 fk-diagrams (GMV_FK4)

GMV and 4 fk-diagrams of 4 subarrays (vertical component only)

GMV + Cross-section (plot_Xsec)

GMV and cross-sections (ZNE/ZRT)

Simple Zero-crossing GMV (GMV_ZeroX)

Specifically designed to visualize zero-crossing of normal mode
Plot zero-crossing in GMV and reference vertical seismogram

GMV + fk-diagram for normal mode (GMV_FK_NM)

Specifically designed to visualize normal mode
With option to visualize zero-crossing of normal mode
GMV, reference vertical seismogram, and an fk-diagram (vertical component only)
