Detailed Documentation

This document discusses geophysical seismic wavelets and the source code for synthetic seismogram simulation. These codes serve as essential tools for seismologists and geophysicists, enabling the modeling of seismic waves and synthetic records to analyze Earth's internal structure and earthquake characteristics. The implementation typically involves signal processing algorithms for wavelet generation (such as Ricker wavelets using Fourier transforms) and convolution-based modeling techniques that combine reflectivity series with appropriate wavelet functions. Earthquakes represent significant natural hazards with profound impacts on human societies, including economic losses and casualties. Consequently, the research conducted by seismologists and geophysicists plays a critical role in enhancing our understanding of seismic phenomena. Their work facilitates the development of improved prediction methodologies and response strategies, ultimately contributing to reduced seismic risks for human populations.
