Support frequency-domain differentiation #938

Closed emthompson-usgs closed 2 years ago

emthompson-usgs commented 2 years ago

We have been using obspy's differentiate method, which uses central differences. Differentiation is done in the frequency domain by the NGA projects and this is a source of inconsistency in the results. Central differences diminishes the high frequency content relative to the frequency domain differentiation. My plan is to make this a config option and default to frequency domain differentiation.
