Pre-course preparation
Dear Participants,
Thank you for registering for the 2017 Strainmeter Short Course. Talks
and class documents will be loaded on to this page for your use during and after the class.
We will be downloading and analyzing strainmeter data. To get the most out of the Short Course it would be best if you could bring a laptop with the following software installed and the files listed below. If you would like some assistance with installation please let us know.
Please contact me if you have any questions about software installation or computer needs for the class.
Thank you,
Kathleen Hodgkinson

Software List
- GMT5, for plotting the data, http://gmt.soest.hawaii.edu/projects/gmt/wiki/Installing
- Software to view the GMT plots, e.g., Ghost Script (http://ghostscript.com/download/). Mac users can install Ghost Script using macports (https://www.macports.org/) or use Preview, a built in application on a Mac.
- Baytap08 : Tidal Analysis Software: We will be using the BAYTAP08 software to analyze the tidal signals, estimate the barometric response and isolate strain signals. This software requires a Fortran complier. I will provide pre-compiled binaries for Mac and Linux users during the class. http://igppweb.ucsd.edu/~agnew/Baytap/baytap.html
- A text editor such as vi to edits scripts.
- PBO SEED Codes http://www.unavco.org/projects/project-support/borehole-services/lib/docs/pbo_seed_conventions.pdf
- Strainmeter Processing Overview: http://www.unavco.org/projects/project-support/borehole-services/bsm-data-processing/bsm-data-processing.html
Course contents
- baytap08.pdf: Baytap 08 User Manual
- baytap08.tar: Tar file containing the BAYTAP08 software
- bottle_format.pd: Description of the GTSM21 Strainmeter Data format and file structure. GTSM21 dataloggers collect strain data in bottle files as binary files.
- dislopack.tar.gz: Tar file containing Elastic Dislocation software
