s001

s001 is one of the overlapping sites, near Ventura. The volume is 2400 x 4400 x 288 grid points (420 x 770 x 50.4 km).

These plots were constructed using CCA, CVM-S4.26, and the 1D model.

s1252

s1252 is a site in the mountains near the San Andreas and just far enough north to include northern San Andreas events within the 200 km cutoff.

These plots were generated using CCA, USGS Bay Area, and CVM-S4.26. We generated plots both without and with smoothing.

Cutoff Plots

To verify that the cutoffs are being correctly applied (Vs=900 m/s, Vp=rho=3060), we created the following plots.

Vp, horizontal cross-section, depth=0 km
Vs, horizontal cross-section, depth=0 km
rho, horizontal cross-section, depth=0 km

Since rho is getting washed out, we produced the below series of plots at a variety of depths with a very low cutoff (Vs=100 m/s, Vp=rho=340), to see what the models look like without the above cutoffs.
