## Monitoring Velocity Changes using Ambient Seismic Noise
SeisMIC (**Seismological Monitoring using Interferometric Concepts**) is a python software that emerged from the miic library. **SeisMIC** provides functionality to apply some concepts of seismic interferometry to different data of elastic waves. Its main use case is the monitoring of temporal changes in a mediums Green's Function (i.e., monitoring of temporal velocity changes).
**SeisMIC** will handle the whole workflow to create velocity-change time-series including:
+ Downloading raw data
+ Adaptable preprocessing of the waveform data
+ Computating cross- and/or autocorrelations
+ Plotting tools for correlations
+ Database management of ambient seismic noise correlations
+ Adaptable postprocessing of correlations
+ Computation of velocity change (dv/v) time series
+ Postprocessing of dv/v time series
+ Plotting of dv/v time-series
+ Inverting dv/v onto a spatial grid
**SeisMIC** handles correlations and data in an [ObsPy](https://github.com/obspy/obspy)-like manner.
## Installation of this package
### Installation from PyPi (pip install)
**SeisMIC** is now deployed on PyPi and can simply be installed using:
```bash
# We recommend installing mpi4py from the conda-forge channel instead of PyPi
conda install -c conda-forge mpi4py
pip install seismic
# If you want to execute the tutorials, you will have to install jupyter as well
pip install jupyter
```
### Installation from Source Code
To obtain the lates features, you can install SeisMIC from its source code, available on GitHub.
**Developers should download the ``dev`` branch**
Download this package via GitHub and install it via bash terminal (the few steps shown below) or using the graphical user interface
```bash
# Download via wget or web-browser
wget https://github.com/PeterMakus/SeisMIC/archive/refs/heads/main.zip
# For developers download the dev branch
wget https://github.com/PeterMakus/SeisMIC/archive/refs/heads/dev.zip
# unzip the package
unzip main.zip # or dev.zip
# Change directory to the same directory that this repo is in (i.e., same directory as setup.py)
cd SeisMIC-main # That's the standard name the folder should have
# Create the conda environment and install dependencies
conda install -c conda-forge mpi4py
conda env create -f environment.yml
# Activate the conda environment
conda activate seismic
# Install the package in editable mode
pip install -e .
# If you want to execute the tutorials, you will have to install jupyter as well
pip install jupyter
```
## Getting started
Access SeisMIC's documentation [here](https://petermakus.github.io/SeisMIC/index.html).
SeisMIC comes with a few tutorials (Jupyter notebooks). You can find those in the `examples/` directory.
