2. Objectives Create an automatic process to detect depth phases (pP and /or sP) and determine focal depth Report focal depth additional to ones from USGS/IRIS/CMT/regional networks Report depth phases additional to ISC and regional network bulletins

3. Focal depth calculation Depths from pP and sP delay times h = source depth η = slowness pP sP P Focal Depth Surface of the Earth Earthquake Depth= h h Alexander and Cakir, 2010

4. an d Then or Cepstral Method S(t)=Observed eartquake signal a and b= amplitude and polarity of delayed signals Alexander and Cakir, 2010

5. P P wave pP + pP wave = pP-P delay time Seismic signal P pP Time (second)............ C1(u) Subwindow C1(t) C2(t) C3(t) C4(t) C1(u)+ C2(u)+ C3(u) Alexander and Cakir, 2010
