aux_getFDSNdata: Download seismic data from FDSN data base

In eseis: Environmental Seismology Toolbox

Download seismic data from FDSN data base

Description

The function accesses the specified FDSN internet data base(s) and downloads seismic data based on the network and station IDs and time constraints.

Usage

aux_getFDSNdata(
  start,
  duration,
  channel = "BHZ",
  network,
  station,
  url,
  link_only = FALSE,
  eseis = TRUE
)

Arguments

start	POSIXct value, start time of the data to query.
duration	Numeric value, length of the data to query, in seconds.
channel	Character value, seismic channel to get. Default is "BHZ".
network	Character vector, two-character FDSN network ID.
station	Character vector, FDSN station ID.
url	Character vector, FDSN URL.
link_only	Logical vector, return only FDSN link instead of downloading and importing the data.
eseis	Logical scalar, option to read data to an eseis object (recommended, see documentation of aux_initiateeseis), default is TRUE

Details

A convenient way to get all the required input data is using the function aux_getFDSNstation before. It will return all the information in a structured way.

It is possible to use the function to process more than one data set. In this case, the arguments network, station and url must match pairwise. The arguments start, duration and channel will be treated as constants if not also provided as vectors.

Value

List object with imported seismic data for each provided set of input arguments.

Examples

## Not run: 

## get stations < 0.6 degrees away from Piz Chengalo collapse
x <- aux_getFDSNstation(centre = c(46.3, 9.6),
                        radius = 0.6,
                        access = TRUE)

## sort statiions by distance
x <- x[order(x$distance),]

## download available data
d <- aux_getFDSNdata(start = as.POSIXct(x = "2017-08-23 07:30:00", 
                                        tz = "UTC"),
                     duration = 180, 
                     network = x$network_ID, 
                     station = x$station_code, 
                     url = x$network_url)

## remove stations without available data
x <- x[!unlist(lapply(d, is.null)),]
d <- d[!unlist(lapply(d, is.null))]

## generate plots of the three nearest stations
par(mfcol = c(3, 1))

for(i in 1:3) {

  plot_signal(data = d[[i]],
              main = paste(x$ID[i], 
                           " | ",
                           round(x$distance[i], 2),
                           "distance (DD)"))
} 

## End(Not run)
