CrazyTremor: A MATLAB GUI for examining triggered tremor

CrazyTremor is a MATLAB package for searching for triggered tremor or triggered earthquakes from a sizeable seismic dataset.

1.1 Introduction:

CrazyTremor is a MATLAB package for searching for triggered tremor or triggered earthquakes

from a sizeable seismic dataset. It was developed by Dr. Chunquan Yu and Dr. Kevin Chao.

1.3 Important features:

• Multiple channels:

The main function screen shows the tremor-band seismograms of triggered tremor, surface-wave-band

seismograms or spectrograms for comparison, and a station map.

• Tag function:

Users can select different triggering events and classify each station with quality and/or group.

The tagging results will show on the station map for clearer visualization of the examined outcome.

• Location of tremor sources:

Users can manually pick the arrival times of individual tremor bursts and quickly obtain preliminary locations.
