Collecting stations of interest via orb2orb

First, make sure to contact jeakins@ucsd.edu if you do not already have access to the regional network export orb.

We are not going to explain how to setup an Antelope system here, but instead offer examples of how some matching statements can be setup.

Collecting seismic data

Here are three complicated matching statements in use for Northern CA, for NV and eastern CA, and for WA and OR that collect the 40 and 1 sps seismic data (no state of health or contributing regional network stations), with a summary of the resultant output using orbserver:

Note: Line wraps are marked »

For Northern CA:

orb2orb -m  'TA_(BNLO|LAVA|I02A|S08C|V03C|V05C|[K-U]0[1-7][AC])/MGENC/(M1|M40)' »

    -r '(/db/.*|/pf/f*|BK.*|TA_(V04C|ELFS|HAST|HATC|HELL)/.*)' -S state/orb2orb_TA anfexport.ucsd.edu:usarrayTA $ORB

For NV and eastern CA:

orb2orb -m 'TA_([L-R]0[4-9][ABC]|[L-X]1[0-4][ABC]|[ST]0[5-9][ABC]|ELFS|HATC|LAVA|HELL)/MGENC/(M1|M40)' »

    -r '(/db/.*|/pf/.*|BK.*|CI.*|NN.*)' -S state/orb2orb_TA anfexport.ucsd.edu:usarrayTA $ORB

For WA and OR:

orb2orb -m 'TA_([A-L]0[1-5][A-C]|[A-L]10[A-C]).*/MGENC/(M1|M40)' »

    -r '(/db/.*|/pf/.*|BK.*|CI.*|NN.*)' -S state/orb2orb_TA anfexport.ucsd.edu:usarrayTA $ORB

The matching statements are constructed based on selecting the grid points you want to collect. Reviewing one of the USArray TA Work Maps might be helpful when attempting to make you match statements. For the latest map contact jeakins@ucsd.edu. I would strongly suggest verifying your matching statement by using it in an orbstat command before you begin attempting to collect data with orb2orb:

orbstat -s -m 'TA_([L-R]0[4-9][ABC]|[L-X]1[0-4][ABC]|[ST]0[5-9][ABC]|ELFS|HATC|LAVA|HELL)/MGENC/(M1|M40)' »

    -r '(/db/.*|/pf/.*|BK.*|CI.*|NN.*)'  anfexport.ucsd.edu:usarrayTA

The output should look something like:

Collecting regional network contributing stations

The command below collects all regional network contributing stations:

orb2orb -r 'TA.*' -S state/orb2orb_reg anfexport.ucsd.edu:usarrayREG

Collecting all TA state of health data

The command below collects all TA state of health data (mass positions, temp, voltage, etc.):

orb2orb -m 'TA.*' -S state/orb2orb_soh anfexport.ucsd.edu:soh

Metadata and dataless SEED information

To get metadata, in the form of the latest dataless seed, for only TA network stations (does not included metadata for contributed stations from the regional neworks such as CI, AZ, BK, or NN) see:

Current station status

To check on the current status of number of stations available, stations with comms outages, or a map showing where stations are deployed see the dynamic stations page.

To view real time plots of station state-of-health see the dynamic station state-of-health page.
