Classes

Access the GEOFON earthquake catalog.
class Geofon(get_moment_tensors=True)[source]

Bases: EarthquakeCatalog

Access the GEOFON earthquake catalog.

Events are obtained from the GEOFON FDSN event web service. They are named by their GEOFON event ID (e.g. 'gfz2010avtm'). The time of the latest revision is available in extras['catalog_time_modified'], evaluation mode and status of the preferred origin are given as tags evaluation_mode:... and evaluation_status:....

To be consistent with GEOFON’s own event listings, the moment magnitude of the moment tensor solution is used as event magnitude, if available, and the GEOFON event status is given as tag geofon_status:X, where X is one of A (automatic), C (confirmed) or M (manually revised).

get_mt(ev)[source]

Get moment tensor from GEOFON’s mt.txt alert file.

Not needed for events obtained with this client, which include the moment tensor if available.
