| Zusammenfassung |
| Python enables the user to combine the advantages of a fully grown programming language
with the flexibility of an interactive scripting language. Its extensive standard library and
many freely available high quality scientific modules enable rapid development.
ObsPy (http://www.obspy.org) extends Python’s capabilities and offers various tools for
seismological tasks. It provides the ability to read and write many common waveform file
formats (e.g. MiniSEED, SAC, GSE2, SEISAN, -¦) as well as many often needed routines for
filtering, picking, triggering, instrument correction, plotting, array analysis, -¦. It is also able
to retrieve data from ArcLink (http://www.webdc.eu), Fissures (http://www.iris.edu/dhi) and
SeisHub (http://www.seishub.org).
Metadata can be read from SEED as well as XML-SEED files and conversion between both
formats is possible. XML-SEED is a XML representation of SEED which results in a greatly
enhanced readability.
The goal of the ObsPy project is to facilitate rapid application development for seismology
which so far resulted in several programs for different uses.
Furthermore NumPy (http://numpy.scipy.org) and SciPy (http://scipy.org) offer a wide variety
of numerical multidimensional array programming methods. Together with IPython
(http://ipython.scipy.org) and Matplotlib (http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net) ObsPy offers a
powerful, text-based and easy to learn interactive environment consisting entirely of free
software packages.
ObsPy has a modular architecture which aims at minimizing the dependencies and is
available under the GPL/LGPLv3 licences. |
