epicentral_distance_in_degree and get_seismograms #81

Closed manoch-iris closed 3 years ago

manoch-iris commented 3 years ago

Hello,

Is there any technical reasons why epicentral_distance_in_degree is not supported by get_seismograms and only works with get_greens_function?

Thanks,

Hi,

I guess it's not a technical reason, more semantics of what the horizontal components (North, East) are in case you don't have the absolute locations. Of course for radial and transverse this would indeed be a reasonable input. For the greens functions this just follows the definitions of the particular source decomposition in the Minson & Dreger paper.

Cheers, Martin

Hi Martin,

Thank you so much for your quick reply. This make sense and thanks for clarifying.
