Help Needed
2012-07-27 00:58:49
Hello Everyone;

I have couple of questions. I would appreciate If someone can help me.

I want to generate receiver functions from synthetic data and the synthetic
data which I am using is in Z (VERTICAL), R(RADIAL) & T(TRANSVERSE)
format. I have my sac headers for each synthetic data like this :

FILE: 201221001.MO.12543.BHZ - 1
----------------------------

NPTS = 4096
B = 5.000000e-01
E = 2.048000e+03
IFTYPE = TIME SERIES FILE
LEVEN = TRUE
DELTA = 5.000000e-01
DEPMIN = -2.287000e-08
DEPMAX = 2.212000e-08
DEPMEN = 1.953621e-14
OMARKER = 0.5
KSTNM = 12543
CMPAZ = 0.000000e+00
CMPINC = 0.000000e+00
STLA = 3.874810e+01
STLO = 4.247701e+01
STEL = 1.738000e+03
STDP = 0.000000e+00
EVLA = 2.384300e+01
EVLO = 1.212250e+02
EVDP = 5.000000e+04
KHOLE = 01
DIST = 7.453048e+03
AZ = 3.035944e+02
BAZ = 7.726594e+01
GCARC = 6.702877e+01
LOVROK = TRUE
USER1 = 3.642409e+02
USER2 = 6.907009e+02
USER3 = 4.336762e+02
KUSER0 = xy2sac
NVHDR = 6
SCALE = 7.864320e+08
NORID = 0
NEVID = 0
NWFID = 145
LPSPOL = FALSE
LCALDA = TRUE
KCMPNM = BHZ
KNETWK = XG
MAG = 6.400000e+00

Except NPTS , B, E , IFTYPE, DELTA, DEPMIN, DEPMAX, DEPMEN, OMARKER, KSTNM,
LOVROK, NVHDR, LPSPOL, LCALDA, EVDP and KUSER0 , other header information
are fake which I copied from one real sac data to calculate synthetic
receiver functions. Now I want change GCARC and DIST values also but
couldn't be able to do so by "CHNHDR" command in SAC. I also tried to do
it in MATLAB but no outcome( May be because it needs specific values of
station , event lat long.). Can anybody tell me how to do it ? Also plz
tell me , how to calculate back azimuth from these data.

Thanks,

    Try setting LCALDA to False (do not compute dist, gcarc automatically from
    evla, evlo, stla, stlo).
    Also try using command "writeheader commit" to write the headres back to
    memory.

    Thanks

    Hi Mohit,
    For calculating garc, dist, az and baz, you must change the evla,
    evlo, stla and stlo
    header variables and SAC will calculate for you, and LCALDA must be
    true, and eventually
    lovrok also must be true for writing over the new headers.
    So,
    sac> ch evla value evlo value stla value stlo value
    sac> lh
    and you find the new dist, az, baz and garc in the header.

    HTH,

    Milton

    Thanks guys. With your help, I can now change the GCARC, DIST as well as
    BAZ headers.
