CVM S4 Testing

Initial Observations Of CVM-S4 Stateful Behavior

We have identified points where CVM-S4 queries are stateful, specifically in the GTL region (~100m depth). By this, we mean that if we query the same point twice, CVM-S4 (and UCVM) returns different Vp, Vs, and rho properties for each query.

To investigate this, we will run some tests to determine if all CVM-S4 regions are stateful, or only the GTL regions. We will also look at how large the differences

Test Results Summary

Test 1 results indicate that ucvm_query calls to that same lat lon return the same value if there are ucvm_query call to a different lat long between them. In order words, the problem occurs only if consecutive calls to the same lat lon are made.
Test 2 results indicate that only a fraction of lat lons show this problem, about 3% of lat lons in the LA Basin area. Plotting of the lat lons in the region show all occurances are in the CVMS-4 GTL region
Test 2 results indicate the the issue occurs fairly evenly for repeated queries at 90m, 100m, and 110 m depths.
KML file showing distribution of sites where query issues occur: File:UCVM Coverage Region v22 5.kml
Test 3 results indicate that the issue does not occur in the CVMS-4 background region, outside the the CVM-S4 GTL zone.
Test 4 results indicate that the issue occures down to 500m, but less frequently as queries go deeper. 500m seems the max depth which shows the issue.

Further testing

Check if the problem is observed with call to the same lat lon but different depths.

Test 1

Create a grid file using ucvm makegrid.sh with these settings. This will search the LA basin region at 10km resolution.

 HOR_SPACING=0.001
 VERT_SPACING=10
 MIN_DEPTH=90
 MAX_DEPTH=110
 MIN_LON=-118.5
 MAX_LON=-117.5
 MIN_LAT=33.5
 MAX_LAT=34.5

Output file wc, showing 3M lines

 3006003 9018009 59118059 out.grd

This file is contentated with itself. This will result in two calls to each point, but not consecutively. This tests whether the state-ful ness is reset when horizontal change is made.

Resulting populated file wc:

 6012006 102204102 1124245122 cvms4test.res

Results of this test indicate that the second call returns the same result as the first call. The two calls are separated by 3006003 calls to other locations.

Test 2

Create grid file with three duplicate lines this way:

makegrid.sh using min,max lat,lon above and depths 90 110 at 100m intervals
duplicate input lines using script on discovery duplic_pts.py
input grid with duplicat lines to ucvm_query
transfer populated results to laptop
add 3 lines for the known result into the poptulated results to confirm issue
run python script that reads populate results into dataframe an calculates differnce betweens cells 1 and 2, and 2 and 3.

(base) [maechlin@discovery2 test_ucvm]$ wc test2.grd

 9018006  27054018 177354120 test2.grd

Add 3 rows with calls to the in the initial point where this issue was identified.

Summary results from Python scripts:

 Found  3.4 percent of 1 and 2 queries had differences ( 100995 out of 3006003 )
 Found  0.0 percent of 2 and 3 queries had differences: (3 out of 3006003 )

Script can be modified to determine additional information including lat,lons and percent differences found, if needed.

Checking the results for queries 2 and 3:

 cvms4_data = "/Users/maechlin/cvms4test2.res"

 Difference between call 2 and call 3: -154.118000 for row: 1820002
 Difference between call 2 and call 3: -94.489000 for row: 4820002
 Difference between call 2 and call 3: -286.251000 for row: 7820002

Test 3

Redo Test 2 but do the query in the background region, where there should not be any borehole data

 cvms4_data = "/Users/maechlin/cvms4test3.res"
 Found  0.0 percent of 1 and 2 queries had differences ( 0 out of 3006002 )
 Found  0.0 percent of 2 and 3 queries had differences: (0 out of 3006002 )

Add the initial observed points into file to confirm script finds it

 Found  0.0 percent of 1 and 2 queries had differences ( 1 out of 3006003 )
 Found  0.0 percent of 2 and 3 queries had differences: (0 out of 3006003 )

Test 4

Create a grid file at depths from 0-400m (at lower resolution). Duplicate the ucvm_calls at each depth 3 times. since new lat lons are called for each depth point, ucvm_query willl reset between duplicate calls. count at which depths we get alternative values between first and second ucvm-query calls for same depth.

 (base) [maechlin@discovery1 test_ucvm]$ wc test4.grd
  1560750  4682250 27756873 test4.grd
 (base) [maechlin@discovery1 test_ucvm]$ wc depth0to500.grd 
 520251 1560753 9252307 depth0to500.grd

HOR_SPACING=0.01 VERT_SPACING=10 MIN_DEPTH=0 MAX_DEPTH=500 MIN_LON=-118.5 MAX_LON=-117.5 MIN_LAT=33.5 MAX_LAT=34.5

Mesh specifications:

each level has 10,201 pts
There are 51 levels for a 520251 pts in the original mesh file
each point is duplicated 3 time for 30603 pts per level and there are 51 levels which gives 1,560,753 (pts)

Search Regions

Define two search regions, one in LA Basin where CVM-S4 has a GTL defined. The second in the mojave where it is CVM-S4 background model. We will discretize at ~10.0m resolution. Basedon this link: Decimal Degrees, we'll descritze at 0.0001 resolution.

Search plans

We will use ucvm makemesh.sh script to create query points for each of these regions. We'll define a search layer from 80m to 120m at 10m resolution to determine whether the alternative values are at a single depth, or in a range of depths. We will add the original observed points to end of the file to ensure we reproduce the initial observations.

Single query version

The first UCVM query will be a single query call for each point. It will output the expect ucvm results with useful results in the final columns.

Double query version

The second ucvm query will contain duplicate points for each query. We will expect that in some cases, especially the observed data points above, the second query will return different values

Triple query version

The third ucvm query will contain three duplicate points for each query. We will determine whether the second and third calls will create duplicates also.

Query order tests

Query at 90m, query at 100m, query at 90m check if the two 90m queries are different.

Query at different depths for same lat/lon

Indications are that two queries for the same lat/lon at say depth 20m, and at depth 100m, return different results than a single query at 100m.

Analysis

Post-processing scripts will determine:

Total number of points in each file:
Number of point in which first and second query are different
Percent difference between first and second queries
Location of points that produce differences
Number of points in which second and third query are different
Number of points in which first and third query are different
