PyNetDesign is developed by Denis Anikiev, github.com/danikiev.

Acknowledgments#

The methodology builds on published work on seismic wave propagation and on microseismic monitoring network design, in particular:

  • Aki and Richards [2002] for the far-field radiation of a point moment-tensor source, the radiation-pattern convention and the free surface boundary condition;

  • Červený [2001] for ray theory and the global absorption factor;

  • Kanamori [1977] for the moment magnitude scale;

  • Eisner et al. [2013] for the peak frequency of direct waves;

  • Boore and Boatwright [1984] for the average body-wave radiation coefficients;

  • Hallo [2012] and Hallo and Eisner [2013] for monitoring network sensitivity and the influence of the double-couple source model.

PyNetDesign stands on the open-source scientific Python ecosystem, and the author is grateful to the developers of NumPy, Pandas, Matplotlib and cmcrameri, as well as to the Sphinx project and the PyData Sphinx theme used to build this documentation.
