obspy.signal.invsim.estimate_wood_anderson_amplitude_using_response

estimate_wood_anderson_amplitude_using_response(response, amplitude, timespan)

Estimate the Wood-Anderson amplitude with a given instrument response.

Convert amplitude in counts measured of instrument with given response information for use in estimate_magnitude(). Amplitude should be measured as full peak to peak amplitude, timespan as difference of the two readings.

Parameters

• response (obspy.core.inventory.response.Response) – response of the instrument

• amplitude (float) – Peak to peak amplitude [counts] or list of the same

• timespan (float) – Timespan of peak to peak amplitude [s] or list of the same

Returns

Simulated zero to peak displacement amplitude on Wood Anderson seismometer [mm] for use in local magnitude estimation.
