Sample Queries
Plot
../query?target=IU.ANMO.00.BHZ.M
Make frequency the horizontal axis instead of time:
../query?target=IU.ANMO.00.BHZ.M&plot.horzaxis=freq
Output Differenced to Peterson Low Noise Model:
../query?target=IU.ANMO.00.BHZ.M&output=dlnm
Output Differenced to Median Values of Daily Modes:
../query?target=IU.ANMO.00.BHZ.M&output=powerdmedian
Fixed Color Scale -170 to -110 [dB]:
../query?target=IU.ANMO.00.BHZ.M&plot.powerscale.range=-170,-110
