SCEC NetCDF CVMS
Several California seismic velocity models are accessible through the UCVM software. The CVMs in UCVM are distributed in their original storage format, and they are accessible through the standardized UCVM query interface.
The IRIS Earth Model Collaboration uses NetCDF as a standardized format and SCEC has formated selected CVMS in netCDF format for users.
NetCDF resolution
The current SCEC netCDF file are discritized on a regular lat lon grid (0.01 degree increments) which is approximately 1km resolution in the horizontal (N-S) and 500m spacing in the vertical.
CVM-H v15.1.1
The CVM-H model includes topography and standard queries are relative to sea-level (+ are above sea level, - are below sea level). UCVM utilities can be used to query the model and retrieve properties relative to ground level (+ are depth below earth surface).
