Offshore Southern California Velocity Structure
From SCECpedia
To improve the Southern California Velocity Models in SCEC's UCVM, we are working on adding a model described in this paper:

Standard Velocity Model Questions
- Model for a flat region or topography?
- Default projection for model
- Model dimensions and resolution
- Material properties in model (standard are vp, vs, and density)
- Any special considerations for geotechnical layer (top 350m or so?). Related, what is the minimum Vs in the model.
- Preferred formulas for populating vp and density if the model is vs only
- Where to get the existing data files
- Review the ucvm interpolation method (trilinear interpolation)
- Thoughts on how we confirm it has been integrated into ucvm correctly
