### Array Map
|
||||
|
||||
The array map will display a color diagram to allow a visual check of the consistency of picks across multiple stations. This works by calculating the time difference of every onset to the earliest onset. Then isolines are drawn between stations with the same time difference and the areas between isolines are colored.
|
||||
The result should resemble a color gradient as the wavefront rolls over the network area. Stations where picks are earlier/later than their neighbours can be reviewed by clicking on them, which opens the picking window.

## Usage
|
||||
|
||||
### Projects and Events
|
||||
|
||||
PyLoT uses projects to categorize different seismic data. A project consists of one or multiple events. Events contain seismic traces from one or multiple stations. An event also contains further information, e.g. origin time, source parameters and automatic and manual picks.
|
||||
Projects are used to group events which should be analyzed together. A project could contain all events from a specific region within a timeframe of interest or all recorded events of a seismological experiment.

|
||||
|
||||
### Event folder structure
|
||||
|
||||
PyLoT expects the following folder structure for seismic data:
|
||||
* Every event should be in it's own folder with the following naming scheme for the folders:
|
||||
``e[id].[doy].[yy]``, where ``[id]`` is a four-digit numerical id increasing from 0001, ``[doy]`` the three digit day of year and ``[yy]`` the last two digits of the year of the event. This structure has to be created by the user of PyLoT manually.
|
||||
* These folders should contain the seismic data for their event as ``.mseed`` or other supported filetype TODO: LINK HERE
|
||||
* These folders should contain the seismic data for their event as ``.mseed`` or other supported filetype
|
||||
* All automatic and manual picks should be in an ``.xml`` file in their event folder. PyLoT saves picks in this file. This file does not have to be added manually unless there are picks to be imported. The format used to save picks is QUAKEML.
|
||||
Picks are saved in a file with the same filename as the event folder with ``PyLoT_`` prepended.
|
||||
* The file ``notes.txt`` is used for saving analysts comments. Everything saved here will be displayed in the 'Notes' column of the eventlist.

They could have either been saved under a different installation of PyLoT but with the same waveform data, which means they are still compatible and you can continue loading them. Or they could be picks from a different event, in which case loading them is not reccommended.

## Automatic Picking
|

|
||||
|

The general workflow for automatic picking is as following:

- After setting up the project by loading waveforms and metadata, the right parameters for the autopicker have to be determined
|
||||
- After setting up the project by loading waveforms and optionally metadata, the right parameters for the autopicker have to be determined

||||
- This [tuning](#tuning) is done for single stations with immediate graphical feedback of all picking results

||||
- Afterwards the autopicker can be run for all or a subset of events from the project

The __P and S tabs__ contain the automatic picking results of the P and S phase, while __log__ contains a useful text output of automatic picking.

The next two buttons, __P__ and __S__ select the phase for manual picking. Then two buttons that control the zoom level follow. After that, the __red X__ button deletes all picks from this station. The green button to the right allows to rename a pick phase.

___Scaling__ allows select a trace to which all other values are scaled. By default every trace is scaled to its own maximum, but with this selection every trace will be scaled relatively to the selected trace.

The idea is, that picks that are close together in time should not influence the estimation of the variance much, while picks whose positions deviates from the norm influence the variance to a greater extent. If the estimated variance of a subset with a pick removed differs to much from the estimated variance of all picks, the pick that was removed from the subset will be marked as invalid.

The factor by which picks are allowed to skew from the estimation of variance can be configured, it is called *jackfactor*, see [here](tuning.md#Pick-quality-control).

The Jackknife and median check are suitable to check for picks that are outside of the expected time window, where maybe another phase was picked.

The Jackknife and median check are suitable to check for picks that are outside of the expected time window, for example, when a wrong phase was picked. It won't recognize picks that are in close proximity to the right onset which are just slightly to late/early.

Every pick in PyLoT consists of an earliest possible, latest possible and most likely onset time.
|
||||
The earliest and latest possible onset time characterize the uncertainty of a pick.
|
||||
This approach is described in Diel, Kissling and Bormann (2012) - Tutorial for consistent phase picking at local to regional distances.
|

These times are represented as a Probability Density Function (PDF) for every pick.

# FAQ
|
||||
|
||||
Q: During manual picking the error "No channel to plot for phase ..." is displayed, and I am unable to create a pick.
|
||||
A: Select a channel that should be used for the corresponding phase in the Pickwindow. For further information read [Picking Window settings](#picking-window-settings).
|
||||
|
||||
Q: I see a warning "Mismatch in event identifiers" when loading picks from a file.
|
||||
A: This means that PyLoT doesn't recognize the picks in the file as belonging to this specific event. They could have been saved under a different installation of PyLoT but with the same waveform data, which means they are still compatible and you can continue loading them or they could be the picks of a different event, in which case loading them is not reccommended
