Welcome to NoisePy

This is the documentation for the Python package of NoisePy, which is a new high-performance python tool for seismic ambient noise seismology. For further information and contact information please see below website:

• Github repository of NoisePy: https://github.com/mdenolle/NoisePy

If you use NoisePy for your research and prepare publications, please consider citing NoisePy:

The monitoring modules are a compilation of published Python scripts and include the new approach described in: * Yuan, C., Bryan, J., Denolle, M.A.: Comparing approaches to measuring time- and frequency-dependent seismic phase variations for coda wave interferometry. In prep for Geophysical Journal International. Please cite this paper if using the monitoring module

The stacking subroutines have been compiled from various published methods. Please cite appropriate article when using a particular stacking routine (references are listed in the documentation).

Functionality

• Download continous noise data based on obspy’s core functions of get_station and get_waveforms
• Save seismic data in ASDF format, which convinently assembles meta, wavefrom and auxililary data into one single file (Tutorials on reading/writing ASDF files)
• Offers high flexibility to handle messy SAC/miniSEED data stored on your local machine and convert them into ASDF format data that could easily be pluged into NoisePy
• Performs fast and easy cross-correlation with functionality to run in parallel through MPI
• Includes a series of monitoring functions to measure dv/v on the resulted cross-correlation functions using some recently developed new methods (see our papers for more details)
