Notes

The hypoc_err relation stores information about hypocenter uncertainty. It is a separate relation from hypocenter partly in order to save space, since the ISC lacks uncertainty information for many reported hypocenters. An uncertainty can exist only for a known hypocenter, so if a hypocenter is deleted then the row in hypoc_err should be deleted also. For reported hypocenters, each attribute of hypoc_err is filled only if explicitly reported. For example, even if the associated reading residuals are reported the ISC does not normally compute their standard deviation and record it in hypoc_err.sdobs. The values in a row of hypoc_err may be inconsistent with each other if they are reported that way.
