This package consists of tools for the transverse coherence minimization (TCM) seismo-acoustic analysis method. TCM can be used to estimate the back-azimuth of infrasound signals that are recorded on an infrasound sensor and a colocated three-component seismometer. When using this code we ask you to cite the following paper, which also provides details on the method and some examples:
Bishop, J. W., Haney, M. M., Fee, D., Matoza, R. S., Mckee, K. F., & Lyons, J. J. (2023). Back-Azimuth Estimation of Air-to-Ground Coupled Infrasound from Transverse Coherence Minimization, 249–258. https://doi.org/10.1785/0320230023.
Here are install instructions for an example conda environment.
We recommend using conda and creating a new conda environment such as
conda create -n tcm_env python=3 obspy numba
or from the provided .yml file as
conda env create -f environment.yml
Information on conda environments (and more) is available here.
After setting up the conda environment, install the package by running the terminal commands:
conda activate tcm_env
git clone https://github.com/uafgeotools/tcm
cd tcm
pip install -e .
The final command installs the package in "editable" mode, which means that you
can update it with a simple git pull in your local repository. This install
command only needs to be run once.
For example:
Python packages:
See the included example.py.
Import the package like any other python package, ensuring the correct environment is active. For example,
$ conda activate tcm_env
$ python
>>> import tcm
