Web service Interfaces
Each of the following methods directly wrap a single Web service provided by EarthScope (https://service.iris.edu/irisws/):
Request Tools
evalresp()- evaluates instrument response information stored at the EarthScope DMC and outputs ASCII data or Bode Plots.resp()- provides access to channel response information in the SEED RESP format (as used by evalresp)sacpz()- provides access to instrument response information (per-channel) as poles and zeros in the ASCII format used by SAC and other programstimeseries()- fetches segments of seismic data and returns data formatted in either MiniSEED, ASCII or SAC. It can optionally filter the data.
Calculation Tools
traveltime()- calculates travel-times for seismic phases using a 1-D spherical Earth model.distaz()- calculate the distance and azimuth between two points on a sphere.flinnengdahl()- converts a latitude, longitude pair into either a Flinn-Engdahl seismic region code or region name.
Please see the documentation for each method for further information and examples to retrieve various data from the EarthScope DMC.
