obspy.core.inventory.station.Station

class Station(code, latitude, longitude, elevation, channels=None, site=None, vault=None, geology=None, equipments=None, operators=None, creation_date=None, termination_date=None, total_number_of_channels=None, selected_number_of_channels=None, description=None, comments=None, start_date=None, end_date=None, restricted_status=None, alternate_code=None, historical_code=None, data_availability=None, identifiers=None, water_level=None, source_id=None)

Bases: obspy.core.inventory.util.BaseNode

From the StationXML definition:

This type represents a Station epoch. It is common to only have a single station epoch with the station’s creation and termination dates as the epoch start and end dates.

Public Methods

copy	Returns a deepcopy of the object.
get_contents	Returns a dictionary containing the contents of the object.
is_active	Checks if the item was active at some given point in time (time) and/or if it was active at some point during a certain time range (starttime, endtime).
plot	Show bode plot of instrument response of all (or a subset of) the station's channels.
select	Returns the Station object with only the Channels that match the given criteria (e.g.

Default dir() implementation.

Station.__eq__(other)

Station.__format__(format_spec, /)

Default object formatter.

Station.__init__(code, latitude, longitude, elevation, channels=None, site=None, vault=None, geology=None, equipments=None, operators=None, creation_date=None, termination_date=None, total_number_of_channels=None, selected_number_of_channels=None, description=None, comments=None, start_date=None, end_date=None, restricted_status=None, alternate_code=None, historical_code=None, data_availability=None, identifiers=None, water_level=None, source_id=None)

Parameters

• channels (list of Channel) – All channels belonging to this station.

• site (Site) – The lexical description of the site

• latitude (Latitude) – The latitude of the station

• longitude (Longitude) – The longitude of the station

• elevation – The elevation of the station in meter.

• site – These fields describe the location of the station using geopolitical entities (country, city, etc.).

• vault – Type of vault, e.g. WWSSN, tunnel, transportable array, etc

• geology – Type of rock and/or geologic formation.

• equipments (list of Equipment) – Equipment used by all channels at a station.

• operators (list of Operator) – An operating agency and associated contact persons.

• creation_date (UTCDateTime) – Date and time (UTC) when the station was first installed

• termination_date (UTCDateTime, optional) – Date and time (UTC) when the station was terminated or will be terminated. A blank value should be assumed to mean that the station is still active.

• total_number_of_channels (int) – Total number of channels recorded at this station.

• selected_number_of_channels (int) – Number of channels recorded at this station and selected by the query that produced this document.

• external_references (list of ExternalReference) – URI of any type of external report, such as IRIS data reports or dataless SEED volumes.

• description (str) – A description of the resource

• comments (list of Comment) – An arbitrary number of comments to the resource

• start_date (UTCDateTime, optional) – The start date of the resource

• end_date (UTCDateTime) – The end date of the resource

• restricted_status (str) – The restriction status

• alternate_code (str) – A code used for display or association, alternate to the SEED-compliant code.

• historical_code (str) – A previously used code if different from the current code.

• data_availability (DataAvailability) – Information about time series availability for the station.

• identifiers (list[str], optional) – Persistent identifiers for network/station/channel (schema version >=1.1). URIs are in general composed of a ‘scheme’ and a ‘path’ (optionally with additional components), the two of which separated by a colon.

• water_level (float, optional) – Elevation of the water surface in meters for underwater sites, where 0 is sea level. (schema version >=1.1)

• source_id (str, optional) – A data source identifier in URI form (schema version >=1.1). URIs are in general composed of a ‘scheme’ and a ‘path’ (optionally with additional components), the two of which separated by a colon.

Station.__init_subclass__()

This method is called when a class is subclassed.

The default implementation does nothing. It may be overridden to extend subclasses.

Station.__le__(value, /)

Return self<=value.

Station.__len__()

Station.__lt__(value, /)

Return self<value.

Station.__ne__(other)

Station.__new__(**kwargs)

Station.__reduce__()

Helper for pickle.

Station.__reduce_ex__(protocol, /)

Helper for pickle.

Station.__repr__()

Return repr(self).

Station.__setattr__(name, value, /)

Implement setattr(self, name, value).

Station.__sizeof__()

Size of object in memory, in bytes.

Station.__str__()

Station.__subclasshook__()

Abstract classes can override this to customize issubclass().

This is invoked early on by abc.ABCMeta.__subclasscheck__(). It should return True, False or NotImplemented. If it returns NotImplemented, the normal algorithm is used. Otherwise, it overrides the normal algorithm (and the outcome is cached).
