obspy.signal.rotate.rotate_zne_lqt¶

rotate_zne_lqt(z, n, e, ba, inc)[source]¶

Rotates all components of a seismogram.

The components will be rotated from ZNE (Z, North, East, left-handed) to LQT (e.g. ray coordinate system, right-handed). The rotation angles are given as the back-azimuth and inclination.

The transformation consists of 3 steps:

1. mirroring of E-component at ZN plain: ZNE -> ZNW
2. negative rotation of coordinate system around Z-axis with angle ba:
   ZNW -> ZRT
3. negative rotation of coordinate system around T-axis with angle inc:
   ZRT -> LQT

Parameters:	z (ndarray) Data of the Z component of the seismogram. n (ndarray) Data of the North component of the seismogram. e (ndarray) Data of the East component of the seismogram. ba (float) The back azimuth from station to source in degrees. inc (float) The inclination of the ray at the station in degrees.
Returns:	L-, Q- and T-component of seismogram.
