UCVM Density Formula
We have reviewed how the density values are calculated in our tomography improved velocity models. We have determined that CVM-S4.26 calculated density from model Vs, and CCA06 provides density values in a data file. We reviewed algorithms to confirm that the same algorith is used to calculated density for both CVM-S4.6 and CCA06.

Compare CCA06, CVM-S4.26 and CenCal Density to Nafe Drake Vs Density Relationship
If model uses the formula, we'd expect values to fall on a diagonal line in these plots.
Looks like CCA06 and CVM-S4.26 use this Vs-based density scaling relationship, but CenCal and CVM-H do not.
Compare CCA06, CVM-S4.26 and CenCal Density to Nafe Drake Vp Density Relationship
UCVM also provides an algorithm that defines a scaling relationship between Vp values and density values on a nafe drake density relationship. These plots show density values for selected points extracted from cvm-s4.26, cca06, and cencal, and cvm-h.

Vp-based Density Formula in UCVM
# Density derived from Vp via Nafe-Drake curve, Brocher (2005) eqn 1. */
def vp_2_density(vp):
# Convert m to km
vp = vp * 0.001
rho = vp * (1.6612 - vp * (0.4721 - vp * (0.0671 - vp * (0.0043 - vp * 0.000106))))
if (rho < 1.0):
rho = 1.0
rho = rho * 1000.0;
