Use Case Realization Report: UCR-02.08 System Refines Event Location
- Sandia National Lab. (SNL-NM), Albuquerque, NM (United States)
This architecturally significant use case describes how the System refines event hypothesis location solutions. The System locates events by finding the event location minimizing the difference between signal detection feature measurements and signal detection feature predictions (see 'System Measures Signal Features' UC). The System references both empirical knowledge from past events and geophysical models to form the signal detection feature predictions. The System also computes an uncertainty bound for each event hypothesis location solution describing a region bounding the event hypothesis' hypocenter and origin time at a particular confidence level. The System creates a variety of location solutions for each event hypothesis. These location solutions vary from one another in either the input parameters the System uses or in the location solution components the System restrains to fixed values (e.g. depth) during event location calculations. The System computes location solutions using input parameters configured by the System Maintainer (see ‘Configures Processing Components’ UC). The Analyst has the option to override input parameters originally configured by the System Maintainer (see 'Refines Event Location' UC). This use case is architecturally significant due to the processing and memory resource consumption of 3D earth model calculations.
