Intrinsic and scattering attenuation values for each event per station with Qopen

Hello,

I was making tests with data in order to get intrinsic and scattering attenuation values for some events, and I am wondering how it could be possible to get attenuation and error values for each event per station.

Thank you very much for your help.

Carlos.

Hi Carlos,

Qopen is not designed to get scattering and intrinsic attenuation for each event and station. To separate the two attenuation mechanisms the energy of the direct wave part is of specific interest, but due to the earthquake radiation pattern wee need to average over several stations.

If you want to try anyway: One work-around would be to call Qopen once for each station and use the filter_inventory parameter.

Thank you very much. I will try your suggestion. I am interested in obtaining for different frequency bands the intrinsic and scattering attenuation values for each event and the corresponding station, also making tests with different coda time windows.
