This page documents our efforts to verify that the vertical component codes are working correctly.

== Code status ==

The JBSim3D codes and the SGT codes contain provisions for calculating Z-component SGTs and seismograms. As part of our migration from RWG to AWP for producing SGTs, we went through an extensive code comparison process, which identified that Z component SGTs must be multiplied by two when being converted from AWP to RWG format. This is, according to emails with Rob, "to account for the free-surface effect for the Z component force. In AWP-ODC I believe the Z-component is located at the free-surface whereas the X & Y components are ½ grid above/below. In my code the free-surface is coincident with the X & Y components, and Z is ½ grid above/below (I apply the factor of 2 free-surface scaling to the X & Y forces within the FD code)."

As part of our migration from RWG to AWP for producing SGTs, we went through an extensive code comparison process, which identified that Z component SGTs must be multiplied by two when being converted from AWP to RWG format. This is, according to emails with Rob, "to account for the free-surface effect for the Z component force.

		+	The DirectSynth and JBSim3d codes already contain provisions to pass in the vertical component SGTs and their headers and synthesize 3-component seismograms. <b>Note that when 3-component seismograms are outputted, the 1st component in the file is the vertical component.</b>
		+
		+	The CyberShake interfaces to the broadband codes needed to be modified to correctly handle the vertical component - hb_high creates a 3-component stochastic seismogram, but the low-frequency site response and merging codes had to be modified.
		+
		+	A number of helper scripts (extracting individual rupture variations, plotting seismograms, etc.) had to be modified to support 3-component seismograms.
		+
		+	== Testing, round 1 ==
		+
		+	For initial testing, the TEST site was run with Z-component SGTs, and post-processing and broadband calculations were run. We confirmed that the horizontal component seismograms were identical whether run by themselves or as part of 3 components, and plotted them to confirm they looked "seismic".
		+
		+	== Testing, round 2 ==
		+
		+	To confirm the vertical component results were correct, we attempted to replicate the reciprocity simulations in a forward simulation, for the TEST site, with a volume rotated at -55 degrees, the velocity model constructed using Study 22.12 parameters, and for source 245, rupture 0, rupture variation 0.
