Applying Haar and Mexican hat wavelets to significantly improve the performance of the New Zealand GeoNet P-phase picker for the 2008 Matata region swarm

The New Zealand GeoNet P-phase picker's performance can be significantly improved, by up to 70%, when Mexican hat and Haar wavelet scale thresholding (WST) is implemented in the preprocessing stage of manually picked events. In total, 811 events with the required spatial and quality criteria fr...
