Velocity Model Image

A VirtualBox image file (also known as an Appliance file) containing the UCVM software and 4 California Velocity models is available for download from a SCEC server. This link will download a large file, and, depending on your network connection, it may take 30 minutes, or more, to download.

• UCVM SSA 2019 Virtual Box Image(17GB download from SCEC servers)

md5sum for Image file

Since this is a large file, you can check the integrity of the downloaded file using md5sum tools: On a Linux system, download the md5sum file, then run the following command: md5 checksum file for Linux to verify the image file

$ md5sum -c ucvm_ssa_2019.ova.md5

On a mac, you can check the file using the md5 utility: md5 on Mac:

$ MD5 (ucvm_ssa_2019.ova) = e4f4597beccb42c3ad708d5972380bfc

Smaller UCVM Image Available

If the disk requirements (60GB) free for the SSA workshop image are too much for your system, a smaller VirtualBox image, with fewer CVMs, prepared for an earlier workshop is available on this SCEC webpage:

California Velocity Models In UCVM VirtualBox Image

The Virtual Box Image prepared for this workshop contains 4 California Velocity Models

• CVM-H: Southern California Velocity Model developed by Harvard Structural Geology Group with optional geotechnical layer cvmh
• CVM-S4: Southern California Velocity Model developed by SCEC, Caltech, USGS Group with geotechnical layer cvms
• USGS Bay Area: USGS developed San Francisco and Central California velocity model cencal
• CCA06: Central California Area Velocity Model at iteration 6 with added optional Ely-Jordan GTL

California Velocity Models in NetCDF format

These Netcdf format files contain 1km resolution versions of three of the California velocity models contained in the SSA UCVM VirtualBox software distribution.

• USGS Bay Area Model (cencal) (435Mb)
• CVM-H Model (cvmh) (435Mb)
• CVM-S Model (cvms) (435Mb)
