Hello,

I am attempting to merge several sac files into single day segments. My
commands are working if there is a gap in the data (fills in with 0s) but
if there is an overlap I get, for example, this error:

SAC> r GS.OK030.00.HHZ.D.2015.327.000000.SAC
SAC> merge GS.OK030.00.HHZ.D.2015.327.062124.SAC

ERROR 1802: Time overlap: GS.OK030.00.HHZ.D.2015.327.000000.SAC
GS.OK030.00.HHZ.D.2015.327.062124.SAC
END1: 2015 327 6 24 50 580
BEG2: 2015 327 6 21 24 890

On the manual page for MERGE (
ds.iris.edu/files/sac-manual/commands/merge.html) there is an option to
make data overlaps average.

I could not find the syntax for applying the options for data gaps or
overlaps in MERGE. Can you help me with this?

Thank you!

Mitch

    Hi Mitch,
    Based on the manual, you have to instruct what SAC should do when you have
    gaps or overlapping time series.

    e.g.
    READ file1 file2
    MERGE GAP ZERO OVERLAP COMPARE

    Note that in place of ZERO you can use INTERP and in place of COMPARE you
    can use AVERAGE. It's a decision you will have to make. In your case, using
    AVERAGE might be better, although the decision should be based on the data
    you have.

      Hello Januka,

      Thank you very much for the response. Unfortunately, if I run commands in
      that way I get an error because SAC thinks I'm trying to merge the file
      "GAP" to "ZERO" etc:

      SAC> READ GS.OK030.00.HHZ.D.2015.015*SAC

      GS.OK030.00.HHZ.D.2015.015.000000.SAC

      SAC> MERGE GAP ZERO OVERLAP AVERAGE
      ERROR 108: File does not exist: GAP


      I don't know the syntax to make SAC know that I am providing the options
      rather than the file list, as there is no example on the manual page (
      https://ds.iris.edu/files/sac-manual/commands/merge.html) that shows how to
      control these. Do you have any ideas?

      Best,

      Mitch

          Hello Januka,

          I don't think the way that I'm reading in the files is the issue. I have
          tried reading in all the files at one time and then attempting merge, and
          also merging one by one like:

          r file1
          merge file2
          merge file3
          .
          .
          .
          write merged.sac

          This works as long as there are no overlaps because I can't find out how to
          use the option in the merge command.

          Does that make sense?

          Thanks!

          Mitch

            What computer platform are you using? Apparently MERGE does not work right on Macs. If you search the web you can find lots of links about MERGE problems.

            Hello Januka,

            I don't think the way that I'm reading in the files is the issue. I have tried reading in all the files at one time and then attempting merge, and also merging one by one like:

            r file1
            merge file2
            merge file3
            .
            .
            .
            write merged.sac

            This works as long as there are no overlaps because I can't find out how to use the option in the merge command.

            Does that make sense?

            Thanks!

            Hi Mitch,
            Based on the manual, you have to instruct what SAC should do when you have gaps or overlapping time series.

            e.g.
            READ file1 file2
            MERGE GAP ZERO OVERLAP COMPARE

            Note that in place of ZERO you can use INTERP and in place of COMPARE you can use AVERAGE. It's a decision you will have to make. In your case, using AVERAGE might be better, although the decision should be based on the data you have.

            Hello,

            I am attempting to merge several sac files into single day segments. My commands are working if there is a gap in the data (fills in with 0s) but if there is an overlap I get, for example, this error:

            SAC> r GS.OK030.00.HHZ.D.2015.327.000000.SAC

            END1: 2015 327 6 24 50 580
            BEG2: 2015 327 6 21 24 890

            On the manual page for MERGE (ds.iris.edu/files/sac-manual/commands/merge.htmlhttp://ds.iris.edu/files/sac-manual/commands/merge.html) there is an option to make data overlaps average.

            I could not find the syntax for applying the options for data gaps or overlaps in MERGE. Can you help me with this?

            Thank you!

            Mitch

            • Hello,

              I downloaded 10 days continuous waveform data in seed format from BREQ_FAST
              Request. And try to convert it into SAC format. I applied rdseed -df
              (seed file name) command and got the following error. However, for
              one-day data,
              I had no error. In this regards, Could you please give me some suggestions?

              Thank you in advance!

              My error is:

            Dear All -

            This could be down to a difference between IRIS/SAC and BRIS/SAC. The syntax of the MERGE command changed incompatibly at some point in the evolution of IRIS’ SAC that the BRIS version does not implement.

            Suggest that you handle the overlap by using CUTIM to trim the overlap from the partially merged in-memory merged trace before doing the next merge.

            As Januka says, merging data without knowing why the overlap arises is worrisome.

            Hello Januka,

            I don't think the way that I'm reading in the files is the issue. I have tried reading in all the files at one time and then attempting merge, and also merging one by one like:

            r file1
            merge file2
            merge file3
            .
            .
            .
            write merged.sac

            This works as long as there are no overlaps because I can't find out how to use the option in the merge command.

            Does that make sense?

            Thanks!

            Hi Mitch,
            Based on the manual, you have to instruct what SAC should do when you have gaps or overlapping time series.

            e.g.
            READ file1 file2
            MERGE GAP ZERO OVERLAP COMPARE

            Note that in place of ZERO you can use INTERP and in place of COMPARE you can use AVERAGE. It's a decision you will have to make. In your case, using AVERAGE might be better, although the decision should be based on the data you have.

            Hello,

            I am attempting to merge several sac files into single day segments. My commands are working if there is a gap in the data (fills in with 0s) but if there is an overlap I get, for example, this error:

            SAC> r GS.OK030.00.HHZ.D.2015.327.000000.SAC
            SAC> merge GS.OK030.00.HHZ.D.2015.327.062124.SAC

            END1: 2015 327 6 24 50 580
            BEG2: 2015 327 6 21 24 890

            On the manual page for MERGE (ds.iris.edu/files/sac-manual/commands/merge.html) there is an option to make data overlaps average.

            I could not find the syntax for applying the options for data gaps or overlaps in MERGE. Can you help me with this?

            Thank you!

            Mitch

            Mitchell,

            Did you find a solution to your problem?

            As George Helffrich suggests the problem may be differences between IRIS/SAC and BRIS/SAC, or possibly an older version of IRIS/SAC. Which version are you running? The copyright shown when sac starts should identify it rather easily.

            Januka’s suggestion is based on v101.6a of IRIS/SAC.

              Hello Brian,

              I suspect the issue has to do with the IRIS/SAC vs BRIS/SAC differences as
              George Hellfrich proposed. In my case, I had very situations that required
              an overlap so it was just easier to trim them instead of working out a
              solution to the overlap itself.

              The data gap filling function of merge has been fine, although I haven't
              been able to find the syntax to change the command from fill with 0s to
              interpolate.

              I don't know the syntax to make SAC know that I am providing the options
              rather than the file list, as there is no example on the manual page (
              https://ds.iris.edu/files/sac-manual/commands/merge.html) that shows
              how to control these. Do you have any ideas?

              Best,

              Mitch

              Hi Mitch,
              Based on the manual, you have to instruct what SAC should do when you
              have gaps or overlapping time series.

              e.g.
              READ file1 file2
              MERGE GAP ZERO OVERLAP COMPARE

              Note that in place of ZERO you can use INTERP and in place of COMPARE
              you can use AVERAGE. It's a decision you will have to make. In your case,
              using AVERAGE might be better, although the decision should be based on the
              data you have.

              Hello,

              I am attempting to merge several sac files into single day segments.
              My commands are working if there is a gap in the data (fills in with 0s)
              but if there is an overlap I get, for example, this error:

              SAC> r GS.OK030.00.HHZ.D.2015.327.000000.SAC
              SAC> merge GS.OK030.00.HHZ.D.2015.327.062124.SAC

              ERROR 1802: Time overlap: GS.OK030.00.HHZ.D.2015.327.000000.SAC
              GS.OK030.00.HHZ.D.2015.327.062124.SAC
              END1: 2015 327 6 24 50 580
              BEG2: 2015 327 6 21 24 890

              On the manual page for MERGE (
              ds.iris.edu/files/sac-manual/commands/merge.html) there is an option
              to make data overlaps average.

              I could not find the syntax for applying the options for data gaps or
              overlaps in MERGE. Can you help me with this?

              Thank you!

              Mitch
