Lin Thurber CVM

The Lin Thurber et al (2010) CVM is seismic velocity models of the California crust and uppermost mantle using a regional-scale double-difference tomography algorithm. The details are described in:

• Lin, G., C. H. Thurber, H. Zhang, E. Hauksson, P. Shearer, F. Waldhauser, T. M. Brocher, and J. Hardebeck (2010), A California statewide three-dimensional seismic velocity model from both absolute and differential Times, Bull. Seism. Soc. Am., 100, in press.

Fig 1: Lin Thurber CVM Vp Map at 1km Depth

Fig 3: Lin Thurber CVM Vs Maps at 1km Depth

These preliminary maps are based on querying the model at an elevation offset of -1000.0m from MSL. We will need to add a DEM to UCVM in order to properly query this model by depth. The model is referenced using inverse bilinear interpolation of the original model boundaries.

As seen in the plots, the Vp model is higher resolution (~10km) than the Vs Model (~30km).
