Basin Query Algorithms

Both Z1.0 and Z2.5 will use the same algorithms, they will just look for different Vs values Z1.0 = Vs = 1000m/s Z2.5 = Vs = 2500m/s, which we call the Target_Z.

  • First Crossing - If the surface Vs is > Target_Z, then depth is 0. Otherwise, query the CVM every 20m depth, until a Vs >= Target_Z is found. Return the depth at which the Vs returned from the model is greater than or equal to the Target-Z.
  • Second Crossing -
  • Last Crossing -

Basin Query Algorithms in actual implmentation

For each grid point within the user supplied boundary, a stack of query points is generated with different depths in the increment of 20m. This set of query points are submitted to the backend model for their Vs.

Search of Vs threshold crossings of a grid point starts by looking at the Vs of this grid point from the first depth layer to the very last depth layer.

If the Vs is less than 0.0, it is invalid, just skip it.

If the Vs is greater than 0.0, a crossing is found if Vs of earlier depth layer is lower than the preset threshold and the Vs of the current depth layer is higher than the preset threshold, ie. a upward sloping crossing.

Here are comparable results from OpenSHA. First crossing results were calculated by David Gill, either in UCVMC or python, I'm not sure (but 4.26 files were provided years ago and are thus likely with the C version). Second crossing results were calculated by Scott Callaghan after modifying the python version of UCVM, Summer 2017. Note that the 3rd column is second crossing, not last.
