General

Configuration

• use ~/.seiscomp3/*/templates as an alternative template directory

Schema

• added Arrival.takeOffAngle
• version increased to 0.6
• Archive version check and version dependent serialization => binary compatibility with older systems
• database schema changes, the following script is for MySQL only and needs modifications for PostgreSQL or other database backends

      CREATE TABLE `Meta` ( `name` char(80) NOT NULL, `value` blob 
      NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (`name`)) ENGINE=INNODB;
      INSERT INTO Meta(name,value) VALUES ('Schema-Version', '0.6');
      INSERT INTO Meta(name,value) VALUES ('Creation-Time', CURRENT_TIMESTAMP);
      ALTER TABLE `Arrival` ADD COLUMN `takeOffAngle` double NULL AFTER `distance`;
      ALTER TABLE `Comment` DROP INDEX `_parent_oid`, ADD UNIQUE INDEX `_parent_oid`
      (`_parent_oid`, `id`);
      ALTER TABLE `FocalMechanism` MODIFY COLUMN

  A Postgres script has been provided by Stephan Heimers / ETHZ which also might need adjustments regarding the owner role of the Meta table:

      CREATE TABLE meta("name" character(80) NOT NULL, "value" varchar(255) NOT NULL,
      CONSTRAINT "Primary Key" PRIMARY KEY (name)) WITH (OIDS=FALSE);
      ALTER TABLE meta OWNER TO sysop;
  
      INSERT INTO meta (name,value) VALUES ('Schema-Version', '0.6');
      INSERT INTO meta (name,value) VALUES ('Creation-Time', CURRENT_TIMESTAMP);
  
      ALTER TABLE arrival ADD COLUMN m_takeOffAngle double precision;
  
      CREATE UNIQUE INDEX _parent_oid ON "comment" USING btree (_parent_oid, m_id);
  
      ALTER TABLE FocalMechanism ALTER COLUMN m_nodalPlanes_nodalPlane1_strike_value DROP NOT NULL;
      ALTER TABLE FocalMechanism ALTER COLUMN m_nodalPlanes_nodalPlane1_dip_value DROP NOT NULL;
      ALTER TABLE FocalMechanism ALTER COLUMN m_nodalPlanes_nodalPlane1_rake_value DROP NOT NULL;
      ALTER TABLE FocalMechanism ALTER COLUMN m_nodalPlanes_nodalPlane2_strike_value DROP NOT NULL;
      ALTER TABLE FocalMechanism ALTER COLUMN m_nodalPlanes_nodalPlane2_dip_value DROP NOT NULL;

      ALTER TABLE FocalMechanism ALTER COLUMN m_principalAxes_nAxis_plunge_value DROP NOT NULL;
      ALTER TABLE FocalMechanism ALTER COLUMN m_principalAxes_nAxis_length_value DROP NOT NULL;
  
      ALTER TABLE momenttensor ALTER COLUMN m_tensor_mrr_value DROP NOT NULL;
      ALTER TABLE momenttensor ALTER COLUMN m_tensor_mtt_value DROP NOT NULL;

• scmaster checks the database schema version and doesn't start if the version doesn't match the latest version. This behaviour can be disabled in scmaster.cfg with

      plugins.dbPlugin.strictVersionCheck = false
  

Location

• LOCSAT uses backAzimuth/slowness of picks if available
• NLL provides take-off angles if supported by used grids

Recordsources

• combined slinkMax option, eg combined://host1:18000;host2:18001??slinkMax=7200

Plugins

• new ewexport_pasv Seedlink plugin
• MLsed renamed to MLh

Processing

• new BK picker

Apps

General

• --config-db to load the database configuration from XML
• log object flow
• configurable timespan

    logging.objects.timeSpan = 60
  

• amplitudes per station configuration

    amplitudes.enable = true | false
    amplitudes.[type].enable = true | false
    amplitudes.[type].noiseBegin
    amplitudes.[type].noiseEnd
    amplitudes.[type].signalBegin
    amplitudes.[type].signalEnd
    amplitudes.[type].snrMin
    amplitudes.[type].resp.taper = secs
    amplitudes.[type].resp.minFreq = hz
    amplitudes.[type].resp.maxFreq = hz
  

  MLh.ClippingThreshold = counts

• per station magnitude calibration

    # Default is 1.0
    mag.[type].multiplier = float
    # Default is 0.0
    mag.[type].offset = float
  

  which corrects the magnitude calculated by a certain processor with m'=multiplier*m+offset

scxmldump

• new command line option "-C" to dump the database configuration

scevent

• additional AUTHOR priorities
• delayed association

    eventAssociation.delayTimeSpan = secs
    eventAssociation.delayFilter.agencyID
    eventAssociation.delayFilter.author
    eventAssociation.delayFilter.evaluationMode	
  

• region filter for association

    # Optional, can be left out
    eventAssociation.region.rect = -90,-180,90,180
    # Optional, can be left out
    eventAssociation.region.minDepth = 0
    # Optional, can be left out
    eventAssociation.region.maxDepth = 100
  

• can handle plugins
  • first plugin MMI (max Modified Mercalli Intensity above the source)

          plugins = ${plugins}, evmmi
    

• new matching arrivals selection option

    # If this time window in seconds is negative, pickIDs
    # are compared to find matching arrivals. A non negative
    # value (including 0) compares pick times regardless
    # of the pickID.
    # Pass: |pick1.time - pick2.time| <= threshold
    eventAssociation.maximumMatchingArrivalTimeDiff = -1
  
    # This parameter is only used in conjunction with
    # eventAssociation.maximumMatchingArrivalTimeDiff. If a station
    # has multiple associated arrivals for a particular event, this
    # flag defines if the time distance of a new pick to all arrivals
    # must be within eventAssociation.maximumMatchingArrivalTimeDiff
    # or if one matching arrival is enough.
    eventAssociation.compareAllArrivalTimes = true
  

scautopick

• amplitude target group configurable, connection.amplitudeGroup = AMPLITUDE
• if a filter cannot be compiled, the applications throws an error and quits

scautoloc

• many new features that still need documentation...

scimport

• added focal mechanism objects to default routing table

scdbstrip-mysql

• added focal mechanism support

scsohlog

• new application to log state-of-health messages into XML files

    map.layers.fep.visible = true
    # Set rank for regions
    map.layers.fep.rank = 3
    # Draw names (default is off)
    map.layers.fep.drawName = true
  

• new artificial origin dialog to set the depth (default is 10km)

scesv

• can show event comments, eg intensity computed with scevent-MMI plugin

    display.event.comment.id = "MMI"
    display.event.comment.label = "Intensity"
    display.event.comment.default = "-"
  

scolv

• amplitude picking
• delete arrivals
• rename phases
• load events in advance
• fm plot uses arrivals take-off angles
  • if no take-off angles are available an option has been added to compute missing take-off angles (Settings (F3) -> Compute missing take-off angles)

          olv.computeMissingTakeOffAngles = true
    

• pick polarities, pick uncertainties
• ZRT, ZNE rotation
• added depth to artifial origin dialog: olv.defaultDepth sets default depths
• compute missing take off angles
• can put comment on events
• can assign an earthquake name to an event
• show wait cursor while relocating
• added option to set default depth in artificial origin dialog

    olv.defaultDepth = 10
