AIMBAT (Automated and Interactive Measurement of Body-wave Arrival Times) is an open-source software package for efficiently measuring teleseismic body wave arrival times for large seismic arrays Lou et al., 2013. It is based on a widely used method called MCCC (multi-channel cross-correlation) developed by VanDecar and Crosson (1990). The package is automated in the sense of initially aligning seismograms for MCCC which is achieved by an ICCS (iterative cross-correlation and stack) algorithm. Meanwhile, a graphical user interface is built to perform seismogram quality control interactively. Therefore, user processing time is reduced while valuable input from a user's expertise is retained. As a byproduct, SAC Goldstein et al., 2003 plotting and phase picking functionalities are replicated and enhanced.

Read about the features and their usage in the latest version of AIMBAT on github here.

• Python
• Numpy
• Scipy
• Matplotlib
• pysmo.sac
• Tkinter
• NO basemap or obspy, which can be troublesome during installation. Not all users will need the features dependent on these two libraries.

where f0 is the lower frequency. and f1 is the higher frequency, in hertz.

Each time you make changes to any of the files in this repository, run

sudo python setup.py build --fcompiler=gfortran
sudo python setup.py install

To build again to allow the changes to take place.

Unit Tests are used to ensure robustness of the program. They should be run each time you make a significant change to AIMBAT, to ensure you did not accidentally break some functionality. Inside the repository aimbat/src/pysmo/unit_tests, run

python run_unit_tests.py
