The Southern California Earthquake Center develops, maintains, and supports a number of scientific software programs. This is the software download page for SCEC-supported software distributions. SCEC provides varying levels of support for scientific software packages. We describe the level of support for each software package using the Computational Infrastructure in Geodynamics (CIG) software support levels. In order, from greatest to least, our software support levels are (1) Developed, maintained, and supported (2) Maintained and supported (3) Accepting bug reports.

Broadband Platform

The goal of the SCEC Broadband Simulation Platform is to generate ground motions for a particular earthquake scenario using deterministic low-frequency and stochastic high-frequency simulations. It provides multiple approaches for generating the rupture description, modeling high- and low-frequency wave propagation, and incorporating site amplification effects. These codes have been validated against recorded ground motions from real events, to increase confidence in their results. With the Broadband Platform, a user can select which combination of approaches to use and simulate an earthquake, producing seismograms which include high and low frequency data. Ultimately these seismograms can be used to improve ground motion attenuation models, resulting in more accurate predictions of future ground motions for building engineers.

  • Support Level: Developed, maintained, and supported.

CVM-H

The 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. The 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.

  • Support Level: Developed, maintained, and supported.

CVM-S

CVM-S is the original 3D Velocity Model for Southern California developed by SCEC between 1991 and 2002. The original CVM-S versions are available on the SCEC Data Center web site. Through our frequency use of CVM-S, we have identified and fixed a number of software issues in the original CVM-S V4.0 code. We are posting a version of CVM-S 4 that includes all known software fixes and should be considered more robust than any earlier versions.

  • Support Level: Accepting bug reports.
