The system consists of a set of programs tied to the same database. With SEISAN it is possible using local and global earthquakes to enter phase readings manually or pick them with a cursor, locate events, edit events, determine spectral parameters, seismic moment, azimuth of arrival from 3-component stations and plot epicenters.
The SEISAN seismic analysis system is a complete set of programs and a simple database for analyzing earthquakes from analog and digital data.
