MESS

MESS is a matched filter earthquake detector

  • MESS Workflow
  1. Match: calculate CC trace on every station (matched filter)
  2. Expand: expand peak values on CC traces
  3. Shift: time shift to origin times for all CC traces
  4. Stack: stack CC traces of different stations & detect events on the stacked trace
  5. dt_p and dt_s are picked by cross-correlation
    Zhou et al., (2021)
  • Usage (see example_mess_workdir)
  1. Prepare template phase file (e.g. run PAL) & cut template waveform
  2. Run MESS

Installation

MESS is a set of codes. All you need is to setup proper Python environment. This can be accomplished easily by installing Anaconda, Obspy, and Pytorch sequentially. Or you can use the env/mess.yml file with conda.
