pycpd

Interactive data processing and analysis tool to compute the Curie point depth from aeromagnetic data using the method of Bouligand et al. (2009)

The user interface is really a work in progress for now. More to come soon.

Requirements

pycpd is programmed in python 3 and was tested on a mac running python 3.5 installed via macports.

The following python mudules are needed to run the software

Cython file

Run the following command in the source directory in order to use the maximum entropy method to estimate the spectra (c code wrapped with cython)

python setup.py build_ext --inplace

Aeromagnetic Data

  • Aeromagnetic data should be gridded on a cartesian grid with spatial units in meters
  • Recognized formats are:
    • netCDF (COARDS compliant)
    • USGS sgd grid
  • In order to display the map, the user is asked to enter coordinate projection information. This is done by giving a proj4 string (http://proj4.org), e.g. for coordinates projected in the Lambert conic conformal for Eastern Canada, the string is
+proj=lcc +lat_1=49 +lat_2=77 +lat_0=63 +lon_0=-92 +x_0=0 +y_0=0 +ellps=GRS80 +towgs84=0,0,0,0,0,0,0 +units=m +no_defs

Borehole Data

Borehole data should be in a csv file with the same header as given in the Global Heat Flow Datababse of the International Heat Flow Commission (http://www.heatflow.und.edu/index2.html). An example file can be found at http://www.heatflow.und.edu/Global2010.csv. The first lines of this file are:
