obspy.core.event - Classes for handling event metadata

This module provides a class hierarchy to consistently handle event metadata. This class hierarchy is closely modelled after the de-facto standard format QuakeML.

For handling additional information not covered by the QuakeML standard and how to output it to QuakeML see the ObsPy Tutorial.

Classes & Functions

catalog.Catalog This class serves as a container for Event objects.
event.Event The class Event describes a seismic event which does not necessarily need
origin.Origin This class represents the focal time and geographical location of an earthquake hypocenter, as well as additional meta-information.
magnitude.Magnitude Describes a magnitude which can, but does not need to be associated with an origin.
origin.Pick A pick is the observation of an amplitude anomaly in a seismogram at a specific point in time.
magnitude.Amplitude This class represents a quantification of the waveform anomaly, usually a single amplitude measurement or a measurement of the visible signal duration for duration magnitudes.
source.FocalMechanism This class describes the focal mechanism of an event.
source.MomentTensor This class represents a moment tensor solution for an event.
