Usage

This is the Root directory for back projection. To do back projection for any earthquake, you need to follow two steps:

1. Run preprocessing scripts present in the directory 1_preprocessing
2. Run the actual calculation scripts present in 2_processing

The directories are numbered in the order that the data needs to be processed. Each of these directories also have a detailed readme inside. To start, go into 1_preprocessing and follow the instructions in the readme.

This package also comes with an example. A seed file for the 2015 Nepal Earthquake is provided with this package, along with all the output files and input parameters. You can find these in the examples directory. A readme is also provided with the example with clear instructions on the steps to be followed.

NOTE: If you cloned or downloaded the package, the files might not have the correct permissions to run. To correct that, run the following command from the root back_projection directory

find . -type f -exec chmod 777 {} \;
