Hello all, I am having trouble reading css files into SAC (version grh-109). I believe incorrect syntax is causing the error [1301], but I'm not sure of the correct syntax (even when looking at the help file). I've typed in the following commands: readcss *.wfdisc readcss H31*.wfdisc and variants thereof, but I still receive error 1301. SAC also provides an additional message that reads: - relevant header fields left vacant - The current flist does not contain any fnames listed i… [more]

Hello Mohit, You can use the command: ch stla '-012345' for change the station latitude to nothing or another header from a sac file. Some header is'nt impossible change, because it have special characteristic from the file. In sac program you can say: help ch for another example.

Hello Everyone, I know this is the place to discuss only about SAC but I need some help to save my earth model into MatTaup (MATLAB version of taup )to calculate the phase arrival times. My model consists the values for Vp, Qkappa, Vs, Qmu, density and depth which not a standard model but a combination of AK135 and PREM models. How can I use MatTaup to calculate the arrival times of different phases according to my model ? Should I use spherical earth model OR flat earth model to calculate p… [more]

Dear all, I am new to SAC. Does anyone know how to create a segy file or Seismic Unix format (SU) file (or binary file without header) using SAC? How can we choose it to be IBM or IEEE format? Best regards, Yi Tao

Yesterday I converted a petroleum industry passive recording in SEG-D format to the SAC format. This week-length seismogram was recorded at a 2 millisecond sample rate and contains about 300 million samples. We can expect to see significant growth is such industry activity and an opportunity to enhance IRIS research with such densely sampled (both temporal and areal sampling) data. However, the binary SAC header isn't fully up to handling these data in (at least) the following two ways: 1)… [more]
