TremorCast

Python project for volcanic tremor forecasting, inspired by Fagradalsfjall, Iceland and the publically available vedur.is tremor plots.

1. Branching structure

For now a very simple structure is used:

• main: main branch where the most recent working version can be found; target of feature branch merges.
• feature/*: work on additional features / changes, directly merged to main.

If the need arises to go for official release cycles, this branching structure can be revised.

2. Project structure

The top-level structure can be described as follows:

• debug: for local debugging / testing needs
• src: contains the main code base, with sub-folders (most generic first):
  • tools: smaller, independent tools to be used in other parts of the code base
  • base: core functionality implemented in a reusable fashion to support specific functionality in other folders
  • applications: functionality implemented here is targeted at a specific application area, e.g. vedur_is, which is aimed at Icelandic volcano forecasting based on vedur.is data.
  • projects: these are specific projects, building on top of functionality in the previous 2 folders.

3. Getting started

• git clone
• pip install -r requirements.txt
• tremorcast.py (currently empty) is the main future entrypoint
• local debugging can be done in the debug folder, where you can copy debug_template.py to debug.py (.gitignored) for playing around with the code base locally.
• in specific subfolders under projects one can find Jupyter Notebooks that are linked to blog posts on https://brtp.lu/blog/
