Monroe earthquake test

To demonstrate the catalog workflow we present here we select an earthquake sequence of interest so that we can demonstrate the notebooks and other tools. We selected the Monroe, WA earthquake, a M4. that occurred on July 12, 2019.

To determine which stations to use for this earthquake, I used get_stas_near_monroe.py to check on station availability near the event. I selected a subset of stations – BERY, JCW, BHW, HTW, TOLT, RATT, and SP2 – to explore further. I made a map of these with gmt using monroe.gmt. Shown below.

I made a rover request to obtain the data, retrieved it, and stored it in XXX. TOLT would not download. Looking at the logs looks like the BH? was replaced a few days before the earthquake.
