estimateWoodAndersonAmplitude(paz, amplitude, timespan)[source]

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

Parameters:
  • paz PAZ of the instrument [m/s] or list of the same
  • amplitude Peak to peak amplitude [counts] or list of the same
  • timespan 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.
