obspy.signal.spectral_estimation.PPSD

class PPSD(stats, metadata, skip_on_gaps=False, db_bins=(-200, -50, 1.0), ppsd_length=3600.0, overlap=0.5, special_handling=None, period_smoothing_width_octaves=1.0, period_step_octaves=0.125, period_limits=None, **kwargs)[source]

Bases: builtins.object

Class to compile probabilistic power spectral densities for one combination of network/station/location/channel/sampling_rate.

Calculations are based on the routine used by [McNamara2004]. For information on New High/Low Noise Model see [Peterson1993].

Basic Usage

>>> from obspy import read
>>> from obspy.signal import PPSD
>>> st = read()
>>> tr = st.select(channel="EHZ")[0]
>>> paz = {'gain': 60077000.0,
...        'poles': [-0.037004+0.037016j, -0.037004-0.037016j,
...                  -251.33+0j, -131.04-467.29j, -131.04+467.29j],
...        'sensitivity': 2516778400.0,
...        'zeros': [0j, 0j]}
>>> ppsd = PPSD(tr.stats, paz)
>>> print(ppsd.id)
BW.RJOB..EHZ
>>> print(ppsd.times_processed)
[]

Now we could add data to the probabilistic psd (all processing like demeaning, tapering and so on is done internally) and plot it like ...

>>> ppsd.add(st) 
>>> print(ppsd.times_processed) 
[UTCDateTime(...), UTCDateTime(...), ..., UTCDateTime(...)]
>>> ppsd.plot() 

... but the example stream is too short and does not contain enough data.

Note

For a real world example see the ObsPy Tutorial.

Saving and Loading

The PPSD object supports saving to a numpy npz compressed binary file:

>>> ppsd.save_npz("myfile.npz") 

The saved PPSD can then be loaded again using the static method load_npz(), e.g. to plot the results again. If additional data is to be processed (note that another option is to combine multiple npz files using add_npz()), metadata must be provided again, since they are not stored in the numpy npz file:

>>> ppsd = PPSD.load_npz("myfile.npz")  

Note

When using metadata from an Inventory, a Parser instance or from a RESP file, information on metadata will be correctly picked for the respective starttime of the data trace. This means that instrument changes are correctly taken into account during response removal. This is obviously not the case for a static PAZ dictionary!
