CS17.3-H
We call the CyberShake Study 17.3 velocity model CVM CS17.3. CS17.3 is the name of a 175m resolution mesh tiled from CCA06, CenCal, CVM-S4.26-M01 with 10km smoothing on each horizontal interface used in the CyberShake Study 17.3, a Central California Seismic Hazard Model. SCEC plans to update the CS17.3 velocity model with improved Central California Basin Models developed by John Shaw and Andreas Plesch. Once the Harvard group's Santa Maria and San Joaquin Basin Models are integrated, UCVM users can access the updated version of the CVM called CS17.3-H

Vs30 Map from CS17.3
CS173 velocity model was defined by a mesh tiled from CCA06, CenCal, CVM-S4.26-M01 with 10km smoothing on each horizontal interface. We calculated Vs30 from this tiled model and plotted a Vs30 map for the region. We have a Central California Basin telecon and based on discussions, we want to produce some more plots of the CS173 velocity model to help with the analysis of it before and after the insertion of the San Joaquin Basin and the Santa Maria Basin.
- Extract from etree values (find method that gets vs30 from etree as used in ely gtl).
- Calculate vs30 map from model (using slowness formula)
Still, to be done, calculate vs30 map from model with Ely GTL (how to add Ely GTL to model, using slowness formula)
Identify the density algorithm used in CVM-S4.26 and CCA06
We tested to density algorithms and compared them to the density values we get from various CVMs in order to confirm how density was calculated for the tomography improved CVMS done by Tom Jordan's Full 3D tomography group. We tested two density scaling relationships against density values from CVM-S4.26, CCA06, and USGS Bay Area (CenCal)models.

Vp versus Density (rho) Map from CS17.3
Researchers requested scatter plots of Vp versus Density scatter plots from CS173. Plot vp (vertical) and density (horizontal) (scaled from 0 to max value on each axis), at depths 0,10000,40000

Document Density Formula for CVM-S4.26 and CCA06

Create a difference plot of densities
Create plots showing difference between cs173 model, and densities using density calculation, to determine if the density formula was used to create the density values in cs173. Also Create plots showing differences between CVM-S4.26 and formula (should be zero), and between CCA06, and formula.
