RF Handling

Supposing that you have created receiver functions and have them available in the directory output/RF, we can now start imaging!

Handling of receiver functions is generally done by using the RFTrace and RFStream classes. These classes are built upon a modified version of the rf project by Tom Richter.

Note

Just as in the obspy base classes, an RFStream can hold several receiver functions, while an RFTrace object can only hold one receiver function. In the .sac format, saving RFStream will lead to the creation of several files.

• Reading receiver functions that were saved in sac format
• Receiver functions stored in hdf5 format
  • Reading data
  • Tags
  • Getting an overview over available data
• Writing data to hdf5
• Methods available for both RFStream and RFTrace objects
  • Methods for RFTrace objects
  • Methods for RFStream objects
