CTM

We are using jupyter notebook developed by Liz Hearn to calculate CTM values at points defined for the GFM.

GFM/CTM Data Files

The GFM cells with CTM temperature and heat flow region ID added for each cell. There are to version of this data set. Unsmoothed is CTM temp from the Thatcher CTM model. Smoothed version uses kridging between points to avoid sharp temperature discontinuities.

GFM Points

AP has created a discretized version of the GFM. The coverage region for the GFM is similar to the CVM-H GTL coverage region. Corner points from the GFM grid are listed below.

The resolution of the GFM 3D voxel data set is 10km x 10km x 1km (depth).

Each level of the GFM has 8256 points, with 960km lon and 860km in lat (96 x 86 = 8256) and the depth goes from -100km to +4km (8256 x 105 = 866880) points.

Corner Points from GFM file:

  • -122.681200, 29.709900 -123.205500, 37.335600 -112.481200, 37.412300 -112.864200, 29.767300

A white-space delimited file that defines the GFM region types for each of these points is posted here. This is the updated file that include elevation for each point.

The cell location in this file use the CVM-H convention of elevation relative to sea level in meter, with positive values above sea level, and negative values depth below sea level. The cells extend from -100km to 4km.

Example GFM File Data Format

This shows the format of the GFM cell data, before it is updated with CTM heatRegionID and CTM temps. The elevation data is from the GFM topography surface. The last 9 lines are CTM test points, with known results, used to verify that the script used to populate the heatRegionID and Temp are producing the correct results for the GFM points.

CTM Test Points in GFM format

The CTM notebook defines a series of test points. The query points are given as depth below surface as a positive number in KM.

We've converted these test points into the GFM file format, that expresses them as depth below earth surface as a negative number. We used the elevation information to express the test points in GFM format. We'll use this GFM test file, to confirm our CTM query script is returning the same CTM results, for both smoothed and unsmoothed modes, as the CTM notebook.
