    Description: The FOSA (FOgo Seismic Array) project has been carried out from October 2015 to December 2016 to investigate the seismicity of Fogo volcano after its eruption in 2014/2015. Fogo is the only volcano of the Cape Verde archipelago with reported historic eruptions. The eruptions occur frequently with an interval of about 20 years. However, the structure and extent of the related volcanic plumbing system are not well understood. The focus of the FOSA project was on the detection of ongoing magmatic activity and information about the plumbing system, using seismic array techniques. The array of the FOSA study was operated from October 2015 to December 2016, close to the village Achada Furna. From January 2016 we complemented the network with three additional broadband stations for an improved event detection and localization.

    Description: The KISS network was installed in the frame of the “Klyuchevskoy Investigation - Seismic Structure of an extraordinary volcanic system” project and recorded data between summer 2015 and summer 2016 in one of the world’s largest clusters of subduction volcanoes - the Klyuchevskoy volcanic group (KVG). It is located in eastern Russia at the northern end of the Kuril-Kamchatka subduction zone close to its intersection with the Aleutian arc and the north-western termination of Hawaii-Emperor seamount chain. Additional to the 4700m high Mount Klyuchevskoy the KVG contains 12 other volcanoes that have together erupted about 1 cubic meter rock per second averaged over the past 10,000 years. Among those Klyuchevskoy, Bezymianny and Tolbachik were the most active ones during the last decades with eruptions styles ranging from explosive to Hawaiian-type. The KISS experiment is designed to investigate the volcanic and seismic processes and its structural setting in the KVG. The network covers a circular region of about 80km diameter with some linear extensions. It includes data from 77 temporary seismic stations with broadband and short period sensors that were installed on concrete plates in about 60cm deep holes. Due to the local conditions the stations were battery powered and could not be serviced during the experiment. GPS reception of the digitizers was not continuous at all stations due to thick snow cover and vegetation. Waveform data are available from the GEOFON data centre, under network code X9, and are embargoed until end of 2019.

    Description: The 3D geomechanical-numerical modelling of the in-situ stress state aims at a continuous description of the stress state in a subsurface volume. It requires observed stress information within the model volume that are used as a reference. Once the modelled stress state is in agreement with the observed reference stress data the model is assumed to provide the continuous stress state in its entire volume. The modelled stress state is fitted to the reference stress data records by adaptation of the displacement boundary conditions. This process is herein referred to as calibration. Depending on the amount of available stress data records and the complexity of the model the manual calibration is a lengthy process of trial-and-error modelling and analysis until best-fit boundary conditions are found. The Fast Automatic Stress Tensor Calibration (FAST Calibration) is a Python function that facilitates and speeds up this calibration process. By using a linear regression it requires only three model scenarios with different boundary conditions. The stress states from the three model scenarios at the locations of the reference stress data records are extracted. The differences between the modelled and observed stress states are used for a linear regression that allows to compute the displacement boundary conditions required for the best-fit modelled stress state. If more than one reference stress state is provided, the influence of the individual observed stress data records on the best-fit boundary conditions can be weighted. The script files are provided for download at: http://github.com/MorZieg/PyFAST_Calibration

    Description: The Earth’s upper atmosphere – a part of it, the ionosphere- is a dynamic partly ionized region with temporal and spatial variations under different phases of solar activity. The ionosphere being a dispersive medium causes signal strength fluctuation, propagation delay, signal attenuation, and signal degradation. These have constituted significant threats to both communication and navigation systems operating in microwave band which is due to the presence of high electron density and its irregularities. The key parameter of the ionosphere which is closely related to most of these delay effects on radio signals is the electron density and density gradients, in particular - its vertical integral, the Total Electron Content (TEC) which can be estimated from the Global Positioning System (GPS) data. The estimated TEC profiles, and TEC perturbation are studied to gain insights into the occurrence of irregular structures in the ionosphere and their distribution. One of the ionospheric irregularities located within the F region, and E region top side are Traveling ionospheric disturbances (TIDs). TIDs are propagating perturbations in the ionospheric electron density as a consequence of Atmospheric Gravity Waves (AGWs) passage. The AGWs originate in the troposphere or stratosphere, and exhibit neutral wind perturbations propagating to the F region heights (i.e. ionospheric heights), where the neutral wind perturbations interact with the plasma via collisions, carrying it along the magnetic field lines (i.e. ion-neutral collision). This entire process in the ionosphere is manifested as oscillations of the ionospheric electron density, resulting in a TID. However, TIDs vary in scale sizes ranging within a few hundred kilometers (km) to over one thousand km, and based on this, they are categorized as either medium-scale TIDs (MSTIDs) or large scale TIDs (LSTIDs). In this thesis, we focus only on MSTIDs as one of the major and frequent ionospheric irregularity phenomena which may degrade positioning systems and could cause a delay in GPS signal transmission between a satellite and the GPS receiver. Multiple studies of ionospheric irregularities with the main focus on MSTIDs over different regions and continents around the world have been carried out, but studies of MSTIDs over the African region have neither been carried out nor reported probably due to lack of GPS data set, and the question of what drives its occurrence in the region which is not yet documented. The objective of this thesis is to study and describe for the first time the occurrence of MSTIDs and its characteristics over the African region under quiet geomagnetic condition (Kp ≤ 3) during the years 2008 – 2016. In addition, this thesis presents novel results of the time series of MSTIDs percentage occurrence rate (POR) during daytime and nighttime, and seasonal occurrence. Ionneutral coupling processes like the connection between AGW and MSTIDs are also discussed in the study. Observational TEC data used in this thesis are obtained from ground-based GPS networks within the African region and nearby stations. Additionally, temperature data from COSMIC radio occultation and SABER satellite observations for some case studies were used to validate AGWs passage as a driving source of MSTIDs, especially during the daytime. Consequently, regional MSTIDs distribution maps have been generated to capture the latitudinal, seasonal, and local time extent of the MSTID occurrence. Investigation of regional ionospheric irregularities over Africa (IRIA) gives a novel result of a climatological view of MSTIDs over Northern and Southern hemispheres in the African region.

    Description: The ionosphere is a complex and highly variable physical system with the F-layer, which occupies at the highest altitude, contains the greatest concentration of free electrons. Under the extreme circumstance of the ionosphere such as in the periods of high solar activity or magnetic storms or simply in the equinoctial months each year, this layer is very often disturbed. During the disturbances, the small-scale irregularities develop and disperse microwave radio signals, and thus generate rapid fluctuations in the amplitude and phase of satellite signals. This phenomenon causes the ionosphere to be scintillated and is called ionospheric scintillation. The impacts of scintillation cannot be mitigated by the multi-frequency technique that is very effective when dealing with ionospheric delay. Consequently, ionospheric scintillation is one of the most significant threats for space geodetic techniques, especially for stations operating in the polar regions or areas near the equator. To study ionospheric scintillation, alternative methods have been proposed including the method of using high-rate receivers to directly output S4 index over Vietnam region and the method of using standard GNSS dual-frequency to calculate ROTI index on a global scale. Main results of this thesis are the temporal variations of total number electron (TEC) in Southeast Asia for eleven consecutive years and the appearance characteristics of scintillation over this area as well as globally during solar cycle 24 (SC24). For space geodesy, electromagnetic waves are most vulnerable in the equatorial ionization anomaly (EIA) as this region has many potential risks of errors for satellite signals. The research area (Southeast Asia) is also located entirely within the EIA. In this thesis, the temporal - latitudinal VTEC maps have been established to study the modifications of EIA’s structure. Thereby, the featured occurrence of EIA crests in Southeast Asia is revealed. Also, the global morphology of anomaly crests averaged over 11-year period shows the worldwide distribution of EIA crests during SC24. Throughout the thesis, the high consistency between the state of the ionosphere and the activity status of the Sun is evidenced by high correlations between VTEC and solar indices. In which, the radio flux index (F10.7 cm) is proved to be more agreeable to the VTEC development than the sunspot number (SSN). The behaviour of the ionosphere during intense magnetic storms is also investigated. The results show that the structure of EIA is often highly volatile during these severe ionospheric conditions.
    Description: Die Ionosphäre ist ein komplexes und hochvariables physikalisches System, wobei die am höchsten gelegene F-Schicht die höchste Konzentration an freien Elektronen enthält. Unter den extremen Bedingungen der Ionosphäre, wie beispielsweise in den Perioden hoher Sonnenaktivität oder magnetischer Stürme oder einfach in den Äquinoktialmonaten eines jeden Jahres, ist diese Schicht der Ionosphäre häufig gestört. Während der Störungen propagieren und zerstreuen die kleinräumigen Unregelmäßigkeiten Mikrowellen-Radiosignale und erzeugen so schnelle Schwankungen in der Amplitude und in der Phase der Satellitensignale. Dieses Phänomen führt zu einer Szintillation der Ionosphäre und wird oft als ionosphärische Szintillation bezeichnet. Im Prinzip können die Auswirkungen der Szintillation nicht durch die Mehrfrequenztechnik verringert werden, die bei der Behandlung der ionosphärischen Verzögerung sehr effektiv ist. Aus diesen Gründen ist die ionosphärische Szintillation eine der größten Herausforderungen für geodätische Weltraumtechniken, insbesondere für Messstationen, die in den Polarregionen oder in äquatornahen Gebieten einschließlich Südostasiens arbeiten. Zur Untersuchung der ionosphärischen Szintillation wurden alternative Methoden vorgeschlagen, darunter die Methode der Verwendung von Hochfrequenz-Empfängern zur direkten Ausgabe des S4-Index über der Region Vietnam und die Methode der Verwendung der standardmäßigen GNSS Zweifrequenzmessungen zur Berechnung des ROTI-Index zur Untersuchung ionosphärischer Unregelmäßigkeiten im globalen Maßstab. Die Hauptergebnisse der Arbeit beinhalten die zeitlichen Variationen des Gesamtelektroneninhalts (total electron content, TEC) in Südostasien für elf aufeinander folgende Jahre und die Erscheinungsmerkmale der Szintillation während des 24. Sonnenzyklus (SC24) sowohl über diesem Gebiet als auch auf globaler Ebene. Für die Weltraumgeodäsie sind elektromagnetische Wellen in der äquatorialen Anomalie der Ionosphäre (equatorial ionization anomaly, EIA) am anfälligsten, da diese Region viele potenzielle Fehlerrisiken für Satellitensignale aufweist, welche bei der Übertragung aus dem Weltraum die Ionosphäre durchqueren. Das Forschungsgebiet (Südostasien) befindet sich ebenfalls vollständig innerhalb der EIA. In dieser Arbeit wurden die zeit und breitenabhängigen Karten des VTEC erstellt, um die Veränderungen der Struktur der EIA zu untersuchen. Dabei wird das charakteristische Vorkommen von Kämmen der EIA-Anomalie in Südostasien offen gelegt. Außerdem zeigt die globale Morphologie der Anomalie-Kämme, gemittelt über einen Zeitraum von elf Jahren, die weltweite Verteilung der EIA-Kämme während des SC24. Der starke Zusammenhang zwischen dem Zustand der Ionosphäre und dem Aktivitätszustand der Sonne wird durch hohe Korrelationen zwischen dem VTEC und den Sonnenindizes einschließlich der Sonnenfleckenzahl (sunspot number, SSN) und dem Radioflussindex F10,7 cm belegt. Auch das Verhalten der Ionosphäre während intensiver magnetischer Stürme wird untersucht. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass die Struktur der EIA unter diesen extremen ionosphärischen Bedingungen häufig sehr volatil ist.

    Description: The 3D geomechanical-numerical modelling aims at a continuous description of the stress state in a subsurface volume. The model is fitted to the model-independent stress data records by adaptation of the displacement boundary conditions. This process is herein referred to as model calibration. Depending on the amount of available stress data records and the complexity of the model the calibration can be a lengthy process of trial-and-error to estimate the best-fit boundary conditions. The tool FAST Calibration (Fast Automatic Stress Tensor Calibration) is a Matlab script that facilitates and speeds up this calibration process. By using a linear regression it requires only three test model scenarios with different displacement boundary conditions to calibrate a geomechanical-numerical model on available stress data records. The differences between the modelled and observed stresses are used for the linear regression that allows to compute the displacement boundary conditions required for the best-fit estimation. The influence of observed stress data records on the best-fit displacement boundary conditions can be weighted. Furthermore, FAST Calibration provides a cross checking of the best-fit estimate against indirect stress information that cannot be used for the calibration process, such as the observation of borehole breakouts or drilling induced fractures. The script files are provided for download at http://github.com/MorZieg/FAST_Calibration. Tab. 0-1 gives an overview of the folder structure and input files with a short explanation.

    Description: For the visualization and analysis of the stress field from 3D thermo-hydro-mechanical (THM) numerical model results two main technical steps are necessary. First, one has to derive from the six independent components of the 3D stress tensor scalar and vector values such as the orientation and magnitude of the maximum and minimum horizontal stress, stress ratios, or the differential stress. It is also of great interest to display e.g. the normal and shear stress with respect to an arbitrarily given surface. Second, an appropriate geometry should be given such as cross sections, profile e.g. for borehole pathways or surfaces on which the model results and further derived values are interpolated. This includes also the three field variables temperature, pore pressure and the displacement vector. To facilitate and automate these steps the Add-on GeoStress for the professional visualization software Tecplot 360 EX has been programmed. Besides the aforementioned values derived from the stress tensor the tool also allows to calculate the values of Coulomb Failure Stress (CFS), Slip and Dilation tendency (ST and DT) and Fracture Potential (FP). GeoStress also estimates kinematic variables such as horizontal slip, dip slip, rake vector of faults that are implemented as contact surfaces in the geomechanical-numerical model as well as the true vertical depth (TVD). Furthermore, the Add-on can import surface and polyline geometries and interpolates on these all available stress parameter. This technical report describes the visualization tool with examples using 3D geomechanical-numerical model results from the finite element software Abaqus v2019. It also presents a number of special features of Tecplot 360 EX in combination with GeoStress that allow a professional and efficient analysis. We also address now the usage GeoStress with PyTecplot which is a powerful tool to automize the analysis. The Add-on as well as the example and input files used in this manual is published by Stromeyer et al. (2020) and the table below gives an overview of the files with a short explanation as they appear in the manual.

    Description: In geosciences the discretization of complex 3D model volumes into finite elements can be a time-consuming task and often needs experience with a professional software. In particular, low angle outcropping or out-pinching geological units, i.e. geological layers that are represented in the model volume, pose serious challenges. Another example are changes in the geometry of a model, which can occur at one point of a project, when re-meshing is not an option anymore or would involve a significant amount of additional time to invest. In order to speed up and automate the process of discretization, Apple PY (Automatic Portioning Preventing Lengthy manual Element assignment for PYthon) separates the process of mesh-generation and unit assignment. It requires an existing mesh together with separate information on the depths of the interfaces between geological units (herein called horizons). These two pieces of information are combined and used to assign the individual elements to different units. The uniform mesh is created with a standard meshing software and has to be available as an Abaqus input file. The information on the horizons depths and lateral variations in the depths is provided in a text file. Apple PY compares the element location and depth with that of the horizons in order to assign each element to a corresponding geological unit below or above a certain horizon. The script files are provided for download at http://github.com/MorZieg/APPLE_PY. Table 0-1 gives an overview of the folder structure and input files with a short explanation.

    Description: La traduction fait référence à la partie principale de la publication anglaise (Grünthal et al., 1998) décrivant l'Echelle Macrosismique Européenne (EMS-98). Ce texte est un extrait de la traduction française existante de la version anglaise complète (Grünthal et Levret, 2001). La partie princi-pale est constituée des pages 14 à 20 de l'original anglais et de la traduction de la version complète. Cette numérotation des pages est conservée ici.
    Description: The translation refers to the core part of the European Macroseismic Scale (EMS-98) of the English original (Grünthal et al., 1998), respectively the core part reproduced here is an excerpt from the existing French translation of the English full version (Grünthal and Levret, 2001). The core part consists of pages 14 to 20 of both the English original and the translation of the full French version. This page numbering is retained here. The European Macroseismic Scale (EMS-98) is a tool for intensity assignment. The macroseismic intensity represents a classification of the severity of ground-motion shaking during an earthquake on the basis of observed effects at a given place. The EMS-98 is the most recent scale in general use. It fully considers the varying strength of buildings in the form of six vulnerability classes, five damage grades for both masonry and reinforced concrete structures, and differentiates structural and non-structural damage as well. Another diagnostic element concerns the relative frequency of observed effects with quantitative definitions of the qualitative terms “few, many, most.” EMS-98 is the only intensity scale complemented by comprehensive guidelines and background materials. They provide the basis that the EMS-98 can easily be adapted for use to the building stock anywhere in the world. The European Seismological Commission launched the development of a new scale in 1988 which should consider modern earthquake-resistant building types and engineering requirements. So the test version EMS-92 and then EMS-98 were evolved. The latter should be the basis for intensity evaluation in European countries and is also applied in many countries outside Europe. The English original of the EMS-98 was translated as full scale into French, Italian, Spanish and Chinese. Moreover, the core part or the short form is available in a total of altogether 30 languages. Such multilingual availability is important since persons, not always fluent in English, act as observers and sensors in macroseismology.

    Description: The Lower Rhine Embayment in western Germany is one of the most important areas of earthquake recurrence north of the Alps, facing a moderate level of seismic hazard in the European context but a significant level of risk. This study deals with the impact of a scenario earthquake with a moment magnitude of 6.5 occurring along the Erft fault system south-west to the city of Cologne, the fourth largest German city with more than one million inhabitants and accommodating important industrial facilities. Since the city is located on thick layers of Quarternary sediments, the geological discontinuities at depth will have a significant influence on the duration and the amplification of ground-motion. Based on a new, harmonized and spatially highly resolved, model of the sedimentary cover, the sensitivity of spectral intensity measures to the site response analysis method is assessed employing random vibration theory approaches. Corresponding damage calculations are conducted in terms of European Macroseismic Scale (EMS-98) damage grades. Residential buildings and buildings with mixed residential and commercial occupancy are included in the corresponding calculations only, in line with most seismic risk assessment studies which have traditionally focused on residential typologies. Results from the damage calculations are presented in terms of number of buildings exposed to bands of EMS-98 intensity levels and probabilities of EMS-98 damage grades for residential buildings and buildings with mixed residential and commercial occupancy. Casualties in the city and the neighboring districts are estimated by means of the PAGER empirical method using population counts at the quartier (“Stadtviertel”) level in Cologne, the “Bezirk” level in Bonn and Aachen and at the municipality (“Gemeinde”) level for the surrounding areas, all of these comprised within the district (“Regierungsbezirk”) of Cologne.

    Description: CaTeNA – Climatic and Tectonic Natural Hazards in Central Asia – is an interdisciplinary, international project funded by the German Ministry of Education and Research to study natural hazards in Central Asia. Central Asia is one of the most tectonically active regions of the world and is influenced by both the west wind zone and monsoon. CaTeNA is examining the two most serious natural hazards arising from these conditions: Earthquakes and mass movements. The project goal is to better understand the underlying processes and triggering factors and to better estimate the resulting risks. For this purpose, CaTeNA localises tectonic faults and determines deformation rates and their changes. Focus is put on two of the most active fault systems, the Main Pamir Thrust and the Darvaz Fault crossing Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan. We try to estimate recurrence intervals of large earthquakes and to understand their relationship to mass movements using paleo-seismology, geomorphology and remote sensing. The current deformation field is characterised and quantified using the methods of space geodesy and seismology. The results will be incorporated into the openly accessible Central Asian Tectonic Database developed within the project, making it accessible to the public, stakeholders and decision-makers. They form the basis for a more accurate estimation of the risk for earthquakes and landslides. Another important project goal is the development and implementation of a dynamic risk assessment for landslides, including high-resolution, model-based precipitation and snowmelt maps. This allows for an improved estimation of the effects of geological hazards on inhabited areas and traffic infrastructure. Direct and efficient risk communication is achieved through interactive visualisation based on a dynamic multilingual web GIS platform. This is an essential step on the path to an early-warning system that takes into account the most important triggering factors. This data repository provides pdf files and recorded videos of talks presented during the final online workshop of the project.

    Description: In recent years, an extensive network of Remotely Operated Multi-Parameter Stations (ROMPS) has been installed in different countries and climatic zones. The stations were developed by GFZ for various applications and set up together with the corresponding partners in the particular regions. In this sense, the general station with its core functionality (querying and storing of sensor data, transmission of data to a central storage unit, providing sufficient energy for the station) is referred as ROMPS. Various sensor systems to account for different application requirements can be connected to these stations. The ROMPS can then be, e.g., a tide gauge station, a buoy or a hydrometeorological (HyMet) station. This document provides the description of the data records from the meteorological system of the ROMPS. In the years after the first development of the data format for the German-Indonesian Tsunami Early Warning System GITEWS (tide gauge stations and buoys), the system was also used for other projects like the Global Change Observatory GCO and Advanced Remote Sensing – Ground-truth Demo and Test Facilities ACROSS (hydrometeorological stations). This resulted in a further development or adaptation of the system, so that different versions of the original data format were created. The versions differ primarily in the data representation (binary or ASCII) and the number and storage of metadata. The meteorological parameters have remained the same since the type of sensor has not changed. All data from the sensor is requested by the meteod software program according to a pre-selected sampling rate and stored in files on the station's computer. These files will be transmitted to a central data storage using file-oriented TCP/IP services (scp, ncftp). The scope of this document is to describe the data format and content which is available at the remote ROMPS. The data format description section is divided into subsections to account for the different format versions of the tide gauges, buoys and HyMet stations. This document is also the basis for further handling of the data, e.g. processing of data within the central data storage or warning center.

    Description: An extensive network of Remotely Operated Multi-Parameter Stations (ROMPS) has been installed in the last years providing meteorological and hydrological data. Most of the stations are part of the Regional Research Network “Water in Central Asia” (CAWA) funded by the German Federal Foreign Office but additional funding was provided by GFZ through the “Global Change Observatory – Central Asia” (GCO) and the “Advanced Remote Sensing – Ground-truth Demo and Test Facilities” (ACROSS) projects of the Helmholtz Association. In spite of various projects, the technical setup of the stations is largely identical. There are minor differences in the selection of the sensors due to different applications. This means that all measurement parameters do not necessarily have to be available at each station. Usually, a standard set of meteorological sensors such as air temperature, relative humidity, air pressure, wind speed and direction, precipitation, solar radiation, soil moisture, and soil temperature are installed but this can be expanded to include other sensors like a snow measuring system or river discharge system. All data from the hydrometeorological system are sampled by a Campbell datalogger on each station according to a pre-selected sampling rate and written to files. The software requesting the data from the datalogger and writing them to files is called crd. The files are transmitted to a central data storage unit using file-oriented TCP/IP services (scp, ncftp) at GFZ and to the open access web-based Sensor Data Storage System (SDSS). The scope of this document is to describe the data format coming from the ROMPS. Additionally, this document is the basis for processing of data within the SDSS.

    Description: The GEOFON program consists of a global seismic network (GE Network), a seismological data centre (GEOFON DC) and a global earthquake monitoring system (GEOFON EQinfo). These three pillars are part of the MESI research infrastructure of the Helmholtz Centre Potsdam - GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences aiming at facilitating scientific research. GEOFON provides realtime seismic data, access to its own and third party data from the archive facilities as well as global and rapid earthquake information. The GEOFON Seismological Software can be considered a fourth cross-cutting module of the GEOFON Program. Data, services, products and software openly distributed by GEOFON are used by hundreds of scientists and data centres worldwide. Its earthquake information service is accessed directly by tens of thousands of visitors. The SeisComP software package is the flagship software provided to the community, which is geared for seismic observatory and data centre needs and used extensively to support our internal operations. As all other MESI (Modular Earth Science Infrastructure) modules GEOFON has the majority of users outside the GFZ as well as an external advisory committee that provides advice to the GFZ Executive Board and to the GEOFON team. This report describes the main activities carried out within the three GEOFON pillars and the software development group.

    Description: For the visualization and analysis of the stress field from 3D thermo-hydro-mechanical (THM) numerical model results two main technical steps are necessary. First, one has to derive from the six independent components of the 3D stress tensor scalar and vector values such as the orientation and magnitude of the maximum and minimum horizontal stress, stress ratios, or the differential stress. It is also of great interest to display e.g. the normal and shear stress with respect to an arbitrarily given surface. Second, an appropriate geometry should be given such as cross sections, profile e.g. for borehole pathways or surfaces on which the model results and further derived values are interpolated. This includes also the three field variables temperature, pore pressure and the displacement vector. To facilitate and automate these steps the Add-on GeoStress for the professional visualization software Tecplot 360 EX has been programmed. Besides the aforementioned values derived from the stress tensor the tool also allows to calculate the values of Coulomb Failure Stress (CFS), Slip and Dilation tendency (ST and DT) and Fracture Potential (FP). GeoStress also estimates kinematic variables such as horizontal slip, dip slip, rake vector of faults that are implemented as contact surfaces in the geomechanical-numerical model as well as the true vertical depth (TVD). Furthermore, the Add-on can import surface and polyline geometries and interpolates on these all available stress parameter. This technical report describes the visualization tool with examples using 3D geomechanical-numerical model results from the finite element software Abaqus v2019. It also presents a number of special features of Tecplot 360 EX in combination with GeoStress that allow a professional and efficient analysis. We also address now the usage GeoStress with PyTecplot which is a powerful tool to automize the analysis. The Add-on as well as the example and input files used in this manual is published by Stromeyer et al. (2020) and the table below gives an overview of the files with a short explanation as they appear in the manual.

    Description: The IPOC seismic network is part of the Integrated Plate boundary Observatory Chile (IPOC), a European-Chilean network of institutions and scientists organizing and operating a distributed system of instruments and projects dedicated to the study of earthquakes and deformation at the continental margin of Chile. In particular, the seismic network is jointly operated by the GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences, Potsdam, Germany; the Institut de Physique du Globe Paris, France (IPGP); the Chilean National Seismological Centre (CSN); the Universidad de Chile, Santiago, Chile (UdC); and the Universidad Católica del Norte, Antofagasta, Chile (UCNA). The subduction plate boundary between the South American and the oceanic Nazca plates exhibits some of the largest earthquakes on Earth. The IPOC goal is to improve the understanding of both the physical mechanisms underlying these processes and the natural hazards induced by them. The observatory is designed to monitor the plate boundary system from the Peru-Chile border to south of the city of Antofagasta, from the coast to the high Andes, capturing both great and small earthquakes in this region. A key component of IPOC is its multi-parameter observatories, where at each site a suite of different physical parameters are measured continuously. So far about 20 such multi-parameter stations are installed. All of these sites are equipped with STS-2 broadband seismometers and accelerometers. Additional instrumentation at some of the stations includes continuous GPS, electric and magnetic field (MT), surface inclination, and climate (temperature, air pressure, humidity). Most sites transmit their data in near-real time using a suite of communication channels (VSAT, WiFi, telemetry etc.). Seismic instruments are deployed on concrete pedestals in bedrock caverns (a few meters deep) to measure ground shaking from earthquakes or other sources that last from a tiny fraction of a second to several hours. Strong-motion sensors are deployed next to the broadband sensors to increase the dynamic range and for earthquake engineering applications. Broadband data are freely distributed in real-time and archive data is also available. This DOI encompasses all IPOC seismic data; data is available under FDSN network code CX.
