6 Discussion and Conclusions
6.5 Conclusions
In this study, the new Earthworm modules, pick_eew, tcpd and dcsn were created for EEW purposes. The pick_eew is able to detect P-wave arrival and estimated Pd value in the 3-s time window after P arrival. A set of parameters are used for automatically detecting the onset of P wave. It is necessary to have a series of offline test to determine those parameters for each station because the background noise and the instrument
86
sensitivity are different involved in each station. The tcpd module is able to determine location and magnitude of earthquakes using the P-wave arrivals and Pd values. The dcsn module receives earthquake information from the shared memory in the Earthworm system and creates XML formatted file for EEW issuance. Although the whole system is very simple, it indeed work very well for providing timely earthquake in formation after events occurrences. The online results from EEW system are display in web site, shown in Appendix D.
The Palert sensor is a low-cost accelerometer which can be installed and maintained easily. In this study an Earthworm module, named eew_svr, was created for receiving real-time data streams from all Palerts and transferring all of them into the Earthworm’s shared memory. In this way, it is possible to incorporate Palert Seismic Network into the Central Weather Bureau Seismic Network. Based on the integrated seismic network, EEW system can be implemented faster and more robust.
There are two reasons that the eBEAR system is able to be distributed to any seismic network all over the world. One is that the Earthworm is good at integrating different kinds of seismic sensors. The other is that the eBEAR system is based on Earthworm software. Currently, the eBEAR system has been distributed and tested in India, Korea and Pacific Tsunami Warning Center.

Earthworm Software
A.1 Earthworm Installation
For the Earthworm installation, here we demonstrated two examples. First, we illustrated how to construct an empty Earthworm. The empty Earthworm do nothing, but we can add more modules in this Earthworm system. This is the easiest example for us to understand the basics of the Earthworm. To install an empty Earthworm, first we download the Earthworm program, named v7.2, from the Earthworm website (http://folkworm.ceri.memphis.edu/ew-doc/). Second, we construct directories including the home directory and running directory, shown as Figure A-1. Thrid, we put the program, v7.2, into the Earthworm directory, shown as Figure A-2. Fourth, we modify the environment file, shown as Figure A-3. Fifth, we put relative parameters into the run directory shown as Figure A-2. Sixth, we copy startstop_nt.d into the run directory.
Seventh we clear all modules listing in the startstop_nt.d. Then we open a command line and type “ew_nt.bat” for setting up Earthworm environment. Finally, we type “startstop”
for starting the Earthworm. For normally installing Earthworm system, we can refer to Figure A-4.
Figure A-5 shows Earthworm naming system. There are four kinds of naming schema using in the Earthworm system. According to these names, the Earthworm system is able to identify the source of data. Figure A-6 shows four kind of definition files in the Earthworm system. Earthworm.d defines the module and RING IDs in the system. Before
99
running Earthworm, make sure the modules we used in the ‘startstop_nt.d’ has been defined in this file. For earthworm_global.d file, we usually do not modify it. Here, we can understand the Installation ID and Message Type ID. For startstop_nt.d file, we define how many RINGs, what kind of Rings, what kind of modules we used in the Earthworm.

Figure A-7 shows the second example that the Earthworm receives data from IRIS data center and serves waveform data using WaveServer. In this example, we use slink2ew module to receive real-time data from seedlink server. From WaveServer we display waveform using WaveViewer and archive data using Waveman2disk. We can use programs like “findwave” and “sniffwave” to check if real-time data coming into the WAVE_RING. In addition, the program “getmenu” can help us to check if the WaveServer can serve waveform data.
Figure A-7 The Earthworm diagram of waveform receive, display and archive.
103
A.2 Earthworm Features
1. Data Input:
The Earthworm software supports different kinds of commercial sensors for receiving data streams from them, such as Geotech SmartGeoHub, Guralp scream, Quanterra Q330, Nanometrics Appolo Server and Seedlink server, shown as Figure A-8.Figure A-8. The Earthworm features of data input.
104
2. Data Exchange:
The Earthworm software use import/export modules to exchange real-time data in waveforms or some parameters. For example, one Earthworm system may have functions for picking P-wave arrivals. This system can only send picks to other Earthworms. In this way, we do not need to send massive waveform data to data center. We can have P-wave auto picking in sub centers and send only picks to the data center. As a result, the limited band width between data center and sub centers can be saved. In addition, the Earthworm software can receive data from other software used in other data centers, such as Antelope and Seiscomp, shown as in Figure A-9.Figure A-9. The Earthworm features of data exchange.
105
3. Data Display:
The Earthworm software can display real-time waveforms or passed waveforms as long as they are stored in the Earthworm module, WaveserverV. In addition, the Earthworm can have daily waveform and time-frequency plots for each channel. The pictures will be viewed by web pages, shown as in Figure A-10.Figure A-10. The Earthworm features of data display.
106
4. Data Processing:
The Earthworm software can reduce sampling rate of each channels and also can apply different filters to the waveforms. In addition, P-wave auto picking can be applied and those picks can be used for earthquake location, shown as in Figure A-11.Figure A-11. The Earthworm features of data processing.
107
5. Data Archiving:
The Earthworm software use WaveServerV to collect data for some time period. Users can archive data in different format, such as SAC, miniseed or SUDS, etc., shown as in Figure A-12.Figure A-12. The Earthworm features of data archiving.
108
6. Customize:
The Earthworm software is open source and free. Users can modify codes and compile them for creating customized modules. Figure A-13 shows an example for developing Earthworm modules. Rectangles with gray colors represent modules created in this study.Figure A-13. The Earthworm features of customized modules.
