Data Services Products: EMC-DNA13 P- and S-velocity models for the western US integrating body- and surface-wave constraints

Summary

DNA13 model, Porritt, Allen, & Pollitz (2014), provides three independent body-wave derived estimates of the wave-speed for the contiguous US. Teleseismic and ambient noise derived phase velocities are utilized in a joint inversion with the SV component body waves.

Description

Name DNA13
Title P- and S-velocity models for the western US integrating body- and surface-wave constraints
Type 3-D Tomography Earth Model
Sub Type P and S velocity perturbations(%)
Year 2014
Short Description   The DNA13 model integrates teleseismic body-wave traveltime and surface-wave phase velocity measurements into a single inversion to constrain the P- and S-wave velocity structure beneath the contiguous US (from the Pacific coast to ~70° W, from Mexico to Canada).

Model Homepage http://seismo.berkeley.edu/~rallen/pub/2014porritt
Depth Coverage 0 to 1280km (best resolution 0 to 1000km)
Area (P, SH, and SV) contiguous United States (25°/52°, -126°/-72°)
  (SV-Joint) contiguous United States (25°/52°, -126°/-90°)
 
Data Set Description [ Porritt et al. (2014) ] The station distribution used in this study covers all of the contiguous United States. This includes more than 2200 stations from the USArray transportable array, regional seismic networks, and temporary seismic deployments. Data were recorded from 2007 January to 2012 December. Relative traveltimes of teleseismic body waves (P, SV, and SH) obtained from about 400 earthquakes, surface wave phase velocity measurements from 167 eartqhuakes, and 5 years of ambient noise data were used to constrain the model.
 
Supplemental Information The supplemental information page for this model contains information on resolution, phase ray and velocity as well as uncertainties for this model.
