CyberShake Data Request
CyberShake Data Request Web Site is a first stage in automating CyberShake data requests. The variety of CyberShake data products is growing, so we propose to develop a web site that will help user request CyberShake data. We will use current CyberShake data requests to try out the proposed data request system. The goal of this first system is to generate a well defined data request. For now, we will continue to process the data requests manually, but will look to automating the retrieval if useful.
Contents
Use Case 1
At a SCEC URL, the user is presented with a series of choices that selects some subset of all our CyberShake data products. The user makes all the choices and presses send and the web page generates a data request specification that someone can then processes and post. The user can check on the status of their request while waiting.
User selects CyberShake 13.4. Show me the Graves-Pitarka CVM-S hazard maps.
Use Case 2
Another use case, 13.4, what is available at USC.
Use Case 3
CyberShake 13.4, site list, Graves and Pitarka CVM-H, specifying intensity measure type, give all peak amplitudes applicable to the given site. Users specifies these, system returns list of rupture variations, peak amplitudes for each combination. Possible other information (user selectable), probability of rupture, time occurred, magnitude.
User Choices CyberShake Data Sets
Initial User Choices of data sets available:
- CyberShake 1.0 Map
- CyberShake 2.2 Map
Other User Choices of data sets:
- All sites rupture generator 2.X
- All sites with new rupture generator 3.x
- PBR sites
- 10Hz sites
- CVM-H sites
User Choices Output Formats
Data products output formats (user-define options):
- Maps (POE@IMT or IMT@POE)
- Curves (IMT duration POE)
- Rupture Sets (ERF, Rupture Generator version, Site of Interest)
- Seismograms (site name, simulation id)
- Amplitudes (site name, rupture set, imt)
- ERF Information (erf)
- Velocity Profiles (site, cvm, sgt)
- Single Component Hazard curves (site, rotation angle, imt)
Progress
The CyberShake data request system is presently being worked on and is currently in the pre-alpha stage. Presently, we have the following features:
- Select from CyberShake studies or from a combination of rupture forecasts, SGT generators, rupture generators, velocity models, and frequencies
- Select sites from a visual (on Google Maps) list of sites as well as a standard row-based one
- Filter sites based off of categories (e.g. precarious rocks, broadband sites, etc.)
- Select relevant data products and configure options for them
- Generates well-formed XML document for either human or machine use
- Administrative panel to see requests and update links for download
- Check on status of request via web interface
The system is available here.
