Generating topographic maps with automap

The pyrocko.plot.automap module provides a painless and clean interface for the Generic Mapping Tool (GMT) [1].

Topographic map of Dead Sea basin

This example demonstrates how to create a map of the Dead Sea area with largest cities, topography and gives a hint on how to access genuine GMT methods.

Beachballs (focal mechanisms) options created from moment tensor

The three types of beachballs that can be plotted through pyrocko.

Beachballs from source objects

This example shows how to add beachballs of various sizes to the corners of a plot by obtaining the moment tensor from four different source object types: pyrocko.gf.seismosizer.DCSource (upper left), pyrocko.gf.seismosizer.RectangularExplosionSource (upper right), pyrocko.gf.seismosizer.CLVDSource (lower left) and pyrocko.gf.seismosizer.DoubleDCSource (lower right).

Creating the beachball this ways allows for finer control over their location based on their size (in display units) which allows for a round beachball even if the axis are not 1:1.

Fuzzy beachballs with uncertainty

If we want to express moment tensor uncertainties we can plot fuzzy beachballs from an ensemble of many solutions.

This example will generate random solution around a best moment tensor (red lines). The perturbed solutions are the uncertainty which can be illustrated in a fuzzy beachball.

Beachballs views for cross-sections:

It is useful to show beachballs from other view angles, as in cross-sections. For that, we can define a view for all beachball plotting functions as shown here:

Add station symbols to focal sphere diagram

This example shows how to add station symbols at the positions where P wave rays pierce the focal sphere.

The function to plot focal spheres (pyrocko.plot.beachball.plot_beachball_mpl()) uses the function pyrocko.plot.beachball.project() in the final projection from 3D to 2D coordinates. Here we use this function to place additional symbols on the plot. The take-off angles needed can be computed with some help of the pyrocko.cake module. Azimuth and distance computations are done with functions from pyrocko.orthodrome.

Hudson’s source type plot

Hudson’s source type plot [Hudson, 1989] is a way to visually represent the widely used “standard” decomposition of a moment tensor into its isotropic, its compensated linear vector dipole (CLVD), and its double-couple (DC) components.

The function pyrocko.plot.hudson.project() may be used to get the (u,v) coordinates for a given (full) moment tensor used for positioning the symbol in the plot. The function pyrocko.plot.hudson.draw_axes() can be used to conveniently draw the axes and annotions. Note, that we follow the original convention introduced by Hudson, to place the negative CLVD on the right hand side.

Source radiation plot

The directivity and radiation characteristics of any point or finite Source model can be illustrated with plot_directivity().

Synthetic seismic traces (R, T or Z) are forward-modelled at a defined radius, covering the full or partial azimuthal range and projected on a polar plot. Difference in the amplitude are enhanced by hillshading the data.

Source radiation pattern of a RectangularSource

Source radiation pattern at 300 km distance of the Mw 6.8 2020 Elazig-Sevrice earthquake. The dominantly unilateral strike-slip rupture is reconstructed by a finite RectangularSource model.

Here we see the envelope of the synthetic seismic traces, emphasizing the directivity effects of the source (envelope=True). Same source model: Mw 6.8 2020 Elazig-Sevrice earthquake.
