Forced location, depth, OriginTime ?
How can we report that the depth and/or location and/or OrigintimTime has been forced by the geophysicist in the location process? This is different than my previous remark as here the location is not reported but used in the location and residuals are computed.
- Ground Truth events
Here is a reference paper on GT events that it may be interesting to add in the RFD. "Epicentre accuracy based on seismic network criteria" de Bondár, I., Myers, S. C., Engdahl, E. R., & Bergman, E. A. GJI 2004, Vol. 156 (3), pp. 483-496
- Time Error ?
In GSE2.0 format, the time error is reported (beneath the origin time). It is different from the RMS. Where can it be reported in the QuakeML format ?
What is the "TimeCorrection" that appear in the definition of Arrival element ? Static time correction ?
