[CIG-SEISMO] Mineos: sensor depth => edepth not working?

[Andrew Valentine]

Not a definitive answer, as I don’t have a lot of experience with this aspect of Mineos, but…

A quick look at the code (green.f & fdb/fdbs.f in mineos v1.0.2) suggests that although the station elevation and depth parameters are read in from the file (arrays elev_site and edepth_sitechan in common block /c_site/, defined in fdb/fdb_site.h), they are not actually used anywhere in green.f. I therefore suspect that this functionality is not implemented, and all seismograms are computed at the surface of the spherical body.

All the best,
Andrew
