The SCEC Community Velocity Model - Harvard (CVM-H) is a velocity model of crust and upper mantle structure in southern California developed by the SCEC community for use in fault systems analysis, strong ground motion prediction, and earthquake hazards assessment.
Contents
Overview
The SCEC CVM-H velocity model describes seismic P- and S-wave velocities and densities, and is comprised of basin structures embedded in tomographic and teleseismic crust and upper mantle models.
This latest release of the CVM-H (11.2.0) represents the integration of various model components, including fully 3D waveform tomographic results. The CVM-H 11.2.0 consists of basin structures defined using high-quality industry seismic reflection profiles and tens of thousands of direct velocity measurements from boreholes (Plesch et al., 2009; Süss and Shaw, 2003). The basin structures are also compatible with the locations and displacements of major faults represented in the SCEC Community Fault Model (CFM) (Plesch et al., 2007). These basin structures were used to develop travel time tomographic models of the crust (after Hauksson, 2000) extending to a depth of 35 km, and upper mantle teleseismic and surface wave models extending to a depth of 300 km (Prindle and Tanimoto, 2006). These various model components were integrated and used to perform a series of 3D adjoint tomographic inversions that highlight areas of the model that were responsible for mismatches between observed and synthetic waveforms (Tape et al, 2009). Sixteen tomographic iterations, requiring 6800 wavefield simulations, yielded perturbations to the starting model that have been incorporated in the latest model release. CVM-H 11.2.0 also incorporates a new Moho surface (Yan and Clayton, 2007) and an upgraded geotechnical layer (GTL) based on a Vs30 map (Ely 2010), the Vp-density scaling relationship, and the code that delivers the model. The CVM-H version 11.2 provides three significant new capabilities:
- Optional, arbitrary precision, geotechnical layer based on Wills and Clahan (2006), Wald, et al. (1995), Ely, et al. (2010)
- Extended region coverage through 1D Hadley-Kanamori background model
- Updated CVM query interface that supports query by elevation and query by depth
Current Release
SCEC CVM-H version 11.2.0 was released on Friday 25 February 2011.
Known Issues
- The vx_api library has a bug in query by depth mode. The structure member vx_entry_t.coord[2] (z value) gets altered during a vx_getcoord() call from depth to elevation when querying below the GTL. This value should not be changed during the call. The work-around for this issue is to make a copy of the depth value before the call to vx_getcoord() if you wish to use that depth later. The vx_lite command line tool does not exhibit this bug. This issue will be fixed in the next release. See the online user guide CVM-H User Guide for an example that employs the work-around.
Dependencies
The following software is required to build and run CVM-H.
- UNIX operating system (Linux, Solaris, MacOS)
- GNU make
- tar for opening the compressed files
- GNU C compiler for building the executable program.
- Optionally GTS (GNU Triangulated Surface Library) for cvmdist http://gts.sourceforge.net

Downloads
To install and use the CVM-H, you need to download and build the CVM-H software distribution. There are detailed installation instructions on the CVM-H User Guide. The main steps involved in installing CVM-H include:
- The software can be installed in an account on a Linux computer with at least 600MB of disk storage and GNU C compiler.
- From the Linux computer, start a web browser and point to this download page. Alternatively, you can retrieve the files with SFTP or other retrieval software.
- Download the two CVM-H files (CVM-H source, CVM-H md5sum) into a directory and run the md5sum program to confirm you have an undamaged version of the distribution files.
- Uncompress the distribution (tgz) files into a local directory on your computer.
- Build the executables by running the top level makefile.
- Confirm the code is built correctly by running UnitTests.
- Confirm the code runs correctly on your system by running AcceptanceTests.
- Use CVM-H for research purposes.

Release History
- CVM-H 11.2.0 - February 2011
- This is the current release, and the first release of CVM-H that includes the Vs30-based geotechnical layer, the Hadley-Kanamori 1D background model, and the vx_lite depth-based query user interface. This version also introduces a date-based version numbering scheme (Year.Month.Revision).
- CVM-H 6.3capi - November 2010
- This is an interim version of CVM-H for use in testing and evaluation. This version includes an initial version of the vx_lite interface but does not provide the Vs30-based geotechnical layer. This version is distributed for completeness and we do not recommended its use by researchers.
- CVM-H 6.3 - September 2010
- This version CVM-H, released by the Harvard Structural Geology Group, removes all CVM-S geotechnical information and restores the original CVM-H material properties to all regions of the model.
- CVM-H 6.2 - January 2010
- This version of CVM-H includes modifications to top 300m material properties based on geotechnical information extracted from CVM-S as an interim approach to providing near surface geotechnical information into CVM-H material properties database.
- CVM-H 6.0 - September 2009
- This version of CVM-H incorporates tomographic inversion results from Carl Tape et al.
- CVM-H 5.5 - September 2008
- This is the last version of CVM-H prior to integration of tomographic inversion results.
The CVM-H User Guide contains a comprehensive version history for CVM-H that is more complete than this summary including scientific references for each version.

CVM Evaluation
We have introduced CVM Evaluation tests as part of the CVM-H release process. In our CVM Evaluation system, we evaluate CVM's using earthquake wave propagation simulations. For each CVM, we build a velocity mesh for use in a 1Hz wave propagation simulation. We then run a wave propagation simulation using the CVM mesh under evaluation, and we run goodness-of-fit measures that compare the simulation result against observation data (seismograms). The SCEC CVM Evaluation system is designed to compare simulation results for alternative CVM models.
Alternative SCEC CVM's
As a part of the CVM-H release procedure, we are posting software version used to make the velocity meshes in our CVM evaluations. We are posting these version of the software so users can get most recent, and best available, versions of SCEC CVM codes. For the CVM-H 11.2 release, our CVM evaluation system to evaluate three different CVM's for southern California, the current release and two alternative, or earlier, SCEC CVM's.
- CVM-H 11.2 - This is the latest CVM-H and we tested it using a newly implemented Vs30-based geotechnical layer. This version of CVM-H is posted in the download section of this web page. CVM-H 11.2 is based on CVM-H 6.3 with the following differences (1) Arbitrary precision and optional Vs30-based geotechnical layer added, (2) a 1D Hadley-Kanamori background model added to extend model region, and (3) New query interface supports query by depth in addition to query by elevation.
- CVM-H v6.3capi (CVM-H v63 model w/ vx_lite and C API, w/o any GTL):
- This is the previous version of CVM-H. The material properties in this CVM-H 6.3 version are equivalent to the material properties in CVM-H 11.2, except for the geotechnical layer. In CVM-H 11.2, the geotechnical layer is optional, and without GTL, CVM-H 11.2 should produce material properties equivalent to this CVM-H 6.3 version. We believe CVM-H 6.3 version we are distributing is equivalent to the CVM-H 6.3 released through the Harvard Structural Geology Web site. We are posting this distribution because it contains software we developed to implement query by depth. All capabilities in CFM-H 6.3 have been implemented in CVM-H 11.2 and we recommend all users use CVM-H 11.2 or later.
- CVM-S v4.1 (CVM-4 with Ely/Graves/Small mods):
- This version of CVM-S4 includes fixes to all known software bugs in the 2005 distribution released through the SCEC data center, with additional modifications by Ely/Graves/Small to support querying with binary input files, and inclusion of an MPI query utility for large point sets, as well as a static library that allows the model to be queried programmatically. This is, to our knowledge, the best available version of CVM-S4.
- CVM-S 4-gely (CVM-4 with Geoff Ely bug fixes):
- This version of CVM-S4 includes fixes known bugs, such as un-initialized variables, in the original CVM-S distribution distributed through the SCEC Data Center. This is the version of CVM-S used in the CVM-H 11.2.0 CVM_Evaluation. If you want to work with CVM-S, we recommend you use version CVM-S v4.1, posted above, as it contains additional changes and capabilities not in this version.
