Detailed Documentation

In seismology, seismic wave data serves as a fundamental data source for geophysical research. Seismic wave data is categorized into shallow subsurface data, recorded within the first few tens of meters below the earth's surface, and deep layer data obtained from deeper geological formations. Through signal processing algorithms and waveform analysis techniques, these datasets enable researchers to determine earthquake parameters including hypocenter location, magnitude calculation, focal mechanism solutions, and subsurface structural imaging. Implementation typically involves spectral analysis using Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) algorithms, time-domain processing with filtering functions, and waveform inversion methods for velocity model reconstruction. These analytical approaches are essential for advancing earthquake engineering studies and geoscientific investigations of Earth's interior composition.
