Re: 20050301: IDV - how to plot earthquake locations

Hi Liu-


I'm learning IDV right now, and the problems are:
how to mark earthquake locations on a map with three columns of data(longitude, latitude, earthquake magnitude)?
We read location data through netcdf files. I am not sure what the format is though. I am pinging a colleague 
on this who might know.


What is the format of your data?  We support both netCDF and
comma separated text for reading point data like earthquakes.

Once you got the data in, you could create a station model that
would list out the variables you mention.  You can also display
it as a table.
The geoscience data examples on your site are quite impressive, especially on topography and mantle convection. How to realize them in IDV?
The real issue is access to the datasets in a form that the IDV can read. You might want to check with Chuck Meertens (who works with the IDV on the GEON project) address@hidden 
and ask him if any of those data sets are available.


Chuck is the person to contact about this.
