19.4.0
Broadband Platform 19.4.0
This full release of the Broadband Platform includes several new features and bug fixes. Below is a summary of the improvements and modifications included in this release of the Broadband Platform.
Method Updates
-
Added the Irikura Recipe Method 2 simulation method to the Broadband Platform. It uses the same rupture generator as the Irikura Recipe Method 1, developed by Arben Pitarka, followed by the GP low-frequency wave propagation code. It then uses a high-frequency module developed by NIED.
-
Both Song and Irikura Recipe Method 1 methods now support multi-segment ruptures. These two methods create a version 2.0 SRF file that can be used directly by the GP wave propagation codes and allows a single Broadband Platform simulation to include all segments from a multi-plane rupture.
-
Used the GP site response module in all California and Japan validation events.
-
Upgraded the SDSU BBToolbox package to version 2.1, with time-domain merging of LF and HF seismograms.
-
Re-calculated Greens Functions for California and Japan using 500m/s as reference Vs, bringing the computed synthetic seismograms closer to site conditions and requiring smaller corrections by the site amplification module.
Other Improvements
-
Updated the GP rupture generator to genslip-5.4.1 and the GP high-frequency code to hb_high_6.0.3.
-
Added Green's Functions and validation events for the Central coast region of California.
-
Extended the GP site response module so it can work with all 7 simulation methods.
-
Upgraded cluster simulation scripts for use with the Slurm job scheduler. The original collection of scripts using PBS is still available for reference.
