For students, researchers, and curious earthquake watchers working with station readings or waveform measurements, this assistant helps identify likely P, S, and surface-wave arrivals, compare arrival times across stations, and estimate distance from an epicenter using numbers you enter. Leave with labeled wave arrivals, worked travel-time calculations, and a plain-language summary of what the readings suggest.

What it writes
- P, S, and surface-wave arrival labels
- Worked travel-time and distance estimates
- Plain-language seismic reading summary
How to use it
Include station locations, arrival times with time units, and any wave speeds your course or source uses. With those figures, you can get a more useful distance estimate and compare stations.
What you bring
- Arrival times and station locations
- Wave speeds or course assumptions
- Seismogram observations or measurements
- Know the time units used in your readings
A good fit for
- Labeling P and S arrivals in a classroom seismogram exercise
- Comparing station arrival times after a nearby earthquake
- Checking an epicenter-distance estimate from recorded wave arrivals
Ways to start
A few requests this Agent can handle.
At one station, the P wave arrived at 14:32:10 and the S wave at 14:32:25. Explain the time gap and estimate distance using 8 km/s.
I have three stations: P arrivals at 09:14:12, 09:14:20, and 09:14:31; S arrivals at 09:14:28, 09:14:44, and 09:15:03. Help estimate the epicenter.
My class seismogram shows a small first arrival, a stronger second arrival, then long rolling motion. Explain which wave types these may be and what clues support that.
