obspy.core.event.base.ConfidenceEllipsoid

class ConfidenceEllipsoid(*args, **kwargs)[source]

Bases: obspy.core.event.base.__ConfidenceEllipsoid

This class represents a description of the location uncertainty as a confidence ellipsoid with arbitrary orientation in space. See the QuakeML documentation for the full details

Parameters:
  • semi_major_axis_length Largest uncertainty, corresponding to the semi-major axis of the confidence ellipsoid. Unit: m
  • semi_minor_axis_length Smallest uncertainty, corresponding to the semi-minor axis of the confidence ellipsoid. Unit: m
  • semi_intermediate_axis_length Uncertainty in direction orthogonal to major and minor axes of the confidence ellipsoid. Unit: m
  • major_axis_plunge Plunge angle of major axis of confidence ellipsoid. Corresponds to Tait-Bryan angle φ. Unit: deg
  • major_axis_azimuth Azimuth angle of major axis of confidence ellipsoid. Corresponds to Tait-Bryan angle ψ. Unit: deg
  • major_axis_rotation This angle describes a rotation about the confidence ellipsoid’s major axis which is required to define the direction of the ellipsoid’s minor axis. Corresponds to Tait-Bryan angle θ. Unit: deg
