Thanks for the answers.

*I have developed a travel time program which uses the same JB tables as
WinQuake. You paste in the station coordinates and the event data, select a
batch file containing the phases you want listed, and you will get a
listing on the clipboard of the arrival times of the selected phases at the
station. It works much the same way as WinQuake, but you do not need a
WinQuake event file for obtaining the information. To get a complete list
of all possible phases, use the included "BIGLIST.jbb" as the batch file.*
*The program can be downloaded from

I have your program for some time, its a simple easy tool.

But i want implement a simple interactive Arrival Time calculator online,
not so complete like USGS have, just the basic.

Thats the solution, thanks for pointing out the way to go Larry.

 I started working with AK135, but most of tools uses JB or IASP91, so i
got a bit confused which one to follow..i will keep with IASP91.

This is a early stage (its still using fixed depths, i havent done much bug
check in the maths):
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/15802004/tt.jpg

Red Marker - Earthquake Location
Green Markers - Location of Online Stations
Pink Markers - Pinpoint both locations and it will return the time travel.
The markers are draggable, so it can be dragged to any location, that will
return automatically the time travel.

Any suggestions to make it more useful i appreciate.

Best Regards,
Tiago.
Thanks for the answers.

I have developed a travel=20 time program which uses the same JB tables as WinQuake. You paste in the station coordinates and the event data, select a batch file containing=20 the phases you want listed, and you will get a listing on the clipboard=20 of the arrival times of the selected phases at the station. It works=20 much the same way as WinQuake, but you do not need a WinQuake event file for obtaining the information. To get a complete list of all possible=20 phases, use the included "BIGLIST.jbb" as the batch file.
The program can be do= wnloaded from=A0 https://sites.google.com/site/bobmcclure90/traveltime

Hi Tiago,


The main idea of GPSMap is to easy access to helicorders around the world, = but i can
think in a solution for offline stations.


I=B4m rebuilding GPSMap (i will announce here when the new version is launc= hed), one of
the new features i=B4m working on is a Time Travel "calculator"..= but i have some doubts:

1) Which model should i use? IASP91, AK135, JB, other(?)? WinQuake suggests= using
different tables for teleseismic, local, regional events...

I believe that the ISAP91 model is newer then the JB tables so I would use = it. I'm not sure about the AK135 (sounds like a gun <grin>) model= ..



2) Many tables i=B4ve found only have some depths (ex: depth 0km 15km 35km = 50km) and is
related to one distance degree, how can i calculate the time travel for dep= th 8km at
a distance of 40km (ex)?


The only thing you can do is interpolate between the two points in the tabl= e. Here is the C code used in WQ to do the interpolation;

double interpol(double x, double y, double a, double b, double point)
{
=A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 return(a + ((point - x) * ((b - a) / (y - x))));
}

Hope this helps.
