# harmonica.EquivalentSources¶

class harmonica.EquivalentSources(damping=None, points=None, depth=500, depth_type='relative', parallel=True, **kwargs)[source]

Equivalent sources for generic harmonic functions (gravity, magnetics).

These equivalent sources can be used for:

• Cartesian coordinates (geographic coordinates must be project before use)

• Gravity and magnetic data (including derivatives)

• Single data types

• Interpolation

• Upward continuation

• Finite-difference based derivative calculations

They cannot be used for:

• Regional or global data where Earth’s curvature must be taken into account

• Joint inversion of multiple data types (e.g., gravity + gravity gradients)

• Reduction to the pole of magnetic total field anomaly data

• Analytical derivative calculations

Point sources are located beneath the observed potential-field measurement points by default [Cooper2000]. Custom source locations can be used by specifying the points argument. Coefficients associated with each point source are estimated through linear least-squares with damping (Tikhonov 0th order) regularization.

The Green’s function for point mass effects used is the inverse Euclidean distance between the grid coordinates and the point source:

$\phi(\bar{x}, \bar{x}') = \frac{1}{||\bar{x} - \bar{x}'||}$

where $$\bar{x}$$ and $$\bar{x}'$$ are the coordinate vectors of the observation point and the source, respectively.

Parameters
• damping (None or float) – The positive damping regularization parameter. Controls how much smoothness is imposed on the estimated coefficients. If None, no regularization is used.

• points (None or list of arrays (optional)) – List containing the coordinates of the equivalent point sources. Coordinates are assumed to be in the following order: (easting, northing, upward). If None, will place one point source below each observation point at a fixed relative depth below the observation point [Cooper2000]. Defaults to None.

• depth (float) – Parameter used to control the depth at which the point sources will be located. If depth_type is equal to "relative", the depth specifies the relative depth at which the point sources are placed beneath the observation points. Each source point will be set beneath each data point at a depth calculated as the elevation of the data point minus this depth. Use positive numbers (negative numbers would mean point sources are above the data points). If depth_type is equal to "constant", the depth specifies the constant depth at which the point sources are placed beneath the observation points. Every source point will be located at this depth. Use positive numbers (negative numbers would mean point sources are located above the zeroth level). This parameter is ignored if points is specified. Defaults to 500.

• depth_type (str) – Strategy used for setting the depth of the point sources. The two available strategies are "constant" and "relative". This parameter is ignored if points is specified. Defaults to "relative".

• parallel (bool) – If True any predictions and Jacobian building is carried out in parallel through Numba’s jit.prange, reducing the computation time. If False, these tasks will be run on a single CPU. Default to True.

Variables
• points_ (2d-array) – Coordinates of the equivalent point sources.

• coefs_ (array) – Estimated coefficients of every point source.

• region_ (tuple) – The boundaries ([W, E, S, N]) of the data used to fit the interpolator. Used as the default region for the grid method.

EquivalentSources.filter(coordinates, data, weights=None)

Filter the data through the gridder and produce residuals.

Calls fit on the data, evaluates the residuals (data - predicted data), and returns the coordinates, residuals, and weights.

No very useful by itself but this interface makes gridders compatible with other processing operations and is used by verde.Chain to join them together (for example, so you can fit a spline on the residuals of a trend).

Parameters
• coordinates (tuple of arrays) – Arrays with the coordinates of each data point. Should be in the following order: (easting, northing, vertical, …). For the specific definition of coordinate systems and what these names mean, see the class docstring.

• data (array or tuple of arrays) – The data values of each data point. If the data has more than one component, data must be a tuple of arrays (one for each component).

• weights (None or array or tuple of arrays) – If not None, then the weights assigned to each data point. If more than one data component is provided, you must provide a weights array for each data component (if not None).

Returns

coordinates, residuals, weights – The coordinates and weights are same as the input. Residuals are the input data minus the predicted data.

EquivalentSources.fit(coordinates, data, weights=None)[source]

Fit the coefficients of the equivalent sources.

The data region is captured and used as default for the grid method.

All input arrays must have the same shape.

Parameters
• coordinates (tuple of arrays) – Arrays with the coordinates of each data point. Should be in the following order: (easting, northing, upward, …). Only easting, northing, and upward will be used, all subsequent coordinates will be ignored.

• data (array) – The data values of each data point.

• weights (None or array) – If not None, then the weights assigned to each data point. Typically, this should be 1 over the data uncertainty squared.

Returns

self – Returns this estimator instance for chaining operations.

EquivalentSources.get_params(deep=True)

Get parameters for this estimator.

Parameters

deep (bool, default=True) – If True, will return the parameters for this estimator and contained subobjects that are estimators.

Returns

params (dict) – Parameter names mapped to their values.

EquivalentSources.grid(upward, region=None, shape=None, spacing=None, dims=None, data_names=None, projection=None, **kwargs)[source]

Interpolate the data onto a regular grid.

The grid can be specified by either the number of points in each dimension (the shape) or by the grid node spacing. See verde.grid_coordinates for details. All grid points will be located at the same upward coordinate. Other arguments for verde.grid_coordinates can be passed as extra keyword arguments (kwargs) to this method.

If the interpolator collected the input data region, then it will be used if region=None. Otherwise, you must specify the grid region. Use the dims and data_names arguments to set custom names for the dimensions and the data field(s) in the output xarray.Dataset. Default names will be provided if none are given.

Parameters
• upward (float) – Upward coordinate of the grid points.

• region (list = [W, E, S, N]) – The west, east, south, and north boundaries of a given region.

• shape (tuple = (n_north, n_east) or None) – The number of points in the South-North and West-East directions, respectively.

• spacing (tuple = (s_north, s_east) or None) – The grid spacing in the South-North and West-East directions, respectively.

• dims (list or None) – The names of the northing and easting data dimensions, respectively, in the output grid. Default is determined from the dims attribute of the class. Must be defined in the following order: northing dimension, easting dimension. NOTE: This is an exception to the “easting” then “northing” pattern but is required for compatibility with xarray.

• data_names (list of None) – The name(s) of the data variables in the output grid. Defaults to ['scalars'].

• projection (callable or None) – If not None, then should be a callable object projection(easting, northing) -> (proj_easting, proj_northing) that takes in easting and northing coordinate arrays and returns projected northing and easting coordinate arrays. This function will be used to project the generated grid coordinates before passing them into predict. For example, you can use this to generate a geographic grid from a Cartesian gridder.

Returns

grid (xarray.Dataset) – The interpolated grid. Metadata about the interpolator is written to the attrs attribute.

EquivalentSources.jacobian(coordinates, points, dtype='float64')[source]

Make the Jacobian matrix for the equivalent sources.

Each column of the Jacobian is the Green’s function for a single point source evaluated on all observation points.

Parameters
• coordinates (tuple of arrays) – Arrays with the coordinates of each data point. Should be in the following order: (easting, northing, upward, …). Only easting, northing and upward will be used, all subsequent coordinates will be ignored.

• points (tuple of arrays) – Tuple of arrays containing the coordinates of the equivalent point sources in the following order: (easting, northing, upward).

• dtype (str or numpy dtype) – The type of the Jacobian array.

Returns

jacobian (2D array) – The (n_data, n_points) Jacobian matrix.

EquivalentSources.predict(coordinates)[source]

Evaluate the estimated equivalent sources on the given set of points.

Requires a fitted estimator (see fit).

Parameters

coordinates (tuple of arrays) – Arrays with the coordinates of each data point. Should be in the following order: (easting, northing, upward, …). Only easting, northing and upward will be used, all subsequent coordinates will be ignored.

Returns

data (array) – The data values evaluated on the given points.

EquivalentSources.profile(point1, point2, upward, size, dims=None, data_names=None, projection=None, **kwargs)[source]

Interpolate data along a profile between two points.

Generates the profile along a straight line assuming Cartesian distances and the same upward coordinate for all points. Point coordinates are generated by verde.profile_coordinates. Other arguments for this function can be passed as extra keyword arguments (kwargs) to this method.

Use the dims and data_names arguments to set custom names for the dimensions and the data field(s) in the output pandas.DataFrame. Default names are provided.

Includes the calculated Cartesian distance from point1 for each data point in the profile.

To specify point1 and point2 in a coordinate system that would require projection to Cartesian (geographic longitude and latitude, for example), use the projection argument. With this option, the input points will be projected using the given projection function prior to computations. The generated Cartesian profile coordinates will be projected back to the original coordinate system. Note that the profile points are evenly spaced in projected coordinates, not the original system (e.g., geographic).

Parameters
• point1 (tuple) – The easting and northing coordinates, respectively, of the first point.

• point2 (tuple) – The easting and northing coordinates, respectively, of the second point.

• upward (float) – Upward coordinate of the profile points.

• size (int) – The number of points to generate.

• dims (list or None) – The names of the northing and easting data dimensions, respectively, in the output dataframe. Default is determined from the dims attribute of the class. Must be defined in the following order: northing dimension, easting dimension. NOTE: This is an exception to the “easting” then “northing” pattern but is required for compatibility with xarray.

• data_names (list of None) – The name(s) of the data variables in the output dataframe. Defaults to ['scalars'] for scalar data, ['east_component', 'north_component'] for 2D vector data, and ['east_component', 'north_component', 'vertical_component'] for 3D vector data.

• projection (callable or None) – If not None, then should be a callable object projection(easting, northing, inverse=False) -> (proj_easting, proj_northing) that takes in easting and northing coordinate arrays and returns projected northing and easting coordinate arrays. Should also take an optional keyword argument inverse (default to False) that if True will calculate the inverse transform instead. This function will be used to project the profile end points before generating coordinates and passing them into predict. It will also be used to undo the projection of the coordinates before returning the results.

Returns

table (pandas.DataFrame) – The interpolated values along the profile.

EquivalentSources.scatter(region=None, size=300, random_state=0, dims=None, data_names=None, projection=None, **kwargs)[source]

Warning

Not implemented method. The scatter method will be deprecated on Verde v2.0.0.

EquivalentSources.score(coordinates, data, weights=None)

Score the gridder predictions against the given data.

Calculates the R^2 coefficient of determination of between the predicted values and the given data values. A maximum score of 1 means a perfect fit. The score can be negative.

If the data has more than 1 component, the scores of each component will be averaged.

Parameters
• coordinates (tuple of arrays) – Arrays with the coordinates of each data point. Should be in the following order: (easting, northing, vertical, …). For the specific definition of coordinate systems and what these names mean, see the class docstring.

• data (array or tuple of arrays) – The data values of each data point. If the data has more than one component, data must be a tuple of arrays (one for each component).

• weights (None or array or tuple of arrays) – If not None, then the weights assigned to each data point. If more than one data component is provided, you must provide a weights array for each data component (if not None).

Returns

score (float) – The R^2 score

EquivalentSources.set_params(**params)

Set the parameters of this estimator.

The method works on simple estimators as well as on nested objects (such as Pipeline). The latter have parameters of the form <component>__<parameter> so that it’s possible to update each component of a nested object.

Parameters

**params (dict) – Estimator parameters.

Returns

self (estimator instance) – Estimator instance.
