Explore Data Avalability

I personally think that it really worht it explore your data avalability before any further analysis. It is very interesing to have a tool that can show you the data availability inside your folder tree. For this reason surfquake offers a command line tool that easily will show you a plot with lines where you have data, no data and gaps in red.

For big data, it can last a little bit but it shows you the progress on screen.

Command Line

surfquake explore -w [Path to your mseed files, e.g., './data/*']

Example

In the example, I simply navigate to the forder where I have placed three stations with three channels so nine files, then I run the command:

surfquake explore -w "./*"
