Introduction

npeval provides SeisComP operators with up-to-date performance measures about your real-time seismic monitoring network. It also reports significant changes in station quality (QC) parameters for delivery to network operators, personnel on duty, etc. Based on known or planned station locations, the expected performance can be estimated.

npeval is therefore an essential module to achieve and maintain an optimized seismic monitoring system.

Examples from science

npeval has been demonstrated, promoted and discussed with scientists and the SeisComP community at international science conferences, e.g.:
