Earthworm Module: 
Ewshear Overview
(last revised 31 October, 2011)
The ewshear module takes data from a specified ring from two sensors
assumed to be placed on different floors of a building.  By computing the
relative drop in shear wave velocity between subsequent time windows,
an alarm message is posted to a specified ring when that drop is large enough.
The primary options are:
- 
Identification of the SCNL for each floor's sensor
 
- 
The vertical distance between the two sensors
 
- 
Optionally, the threshold (as a percentage change) in velocity drop which will
trigger an alarm (default is 20%)
 
Other options include tapering of the original timeseries.
