SCEC Annual meeting 2004

The SOSA application (Synthetic and Observed Seismogram Analysis) combines the common tasks of retrieving observed and synthetic seismograms and applying analysis routines into a single software application. The tool enables researchers to retrieve observed seismograms accessible through a DHI (Data Handling Interface) and seismograms saved locally or accessible through an SRB (Storage Resource Broker). Seismograms retrieved from any source can be processed together, allowing easy comparison between synthetics and observed seismograms. Built-in processing abilities are re-sampling, tapering, filtering, rotation, convolution with instrument response and correlation between seismograms; web services provide access to other processes. Scientists may save seismograms into SAC or mSEED format. Saved seismograms include associated metadata that details the source(s) of the seismogram and history of processing.
