Which seismic file formats are supported by this skill?

The ObsPy skill supports a wide range of formats including MiniSEED, SAC, GSE2, and SEGY, allowing for easy reading, writing, and conversion between formats.

When should I use ObsPy versus segyio?

Use ObsPy for general seismology, FDSN data access, and earthquake analysis. Use segyio specifically for high-performance I/O with large 3D reflection seismic volumes in SEG-Y format.

Can I use this skill to download data from IRIS or the USGS?

Yes, the skill provides specific implementation patterns for using FDSN clients to fetch waveforms, station metadata, and earthquake event catalogs directly from major data centers.

Does this skill help with instrument response removal?

Absolutely. It includes workflows for fetching 'level=response' metadata and using ObsPy's response removal tools to convert raw counts into displacement, velocity, or acceleration.
