Depth Coverage 50-300 km
 
Area eastern North America (latitude: 25.8°/°48.4; longitude: 273.4°/294.9°)
 
Data Set Description The model file includes latitude, longitude, depth, and absolute S-wave velocity in eastern North America. The model was parameterized into a regular 0.35-degree horizontal grids in longitude and latitude directions. The vertical grid size increases with depth from one-third of the horizontal grid size for the top 15 km to ~5 km at 300 km depth.
 
 

(a) Distribution of seismic stations used in full-wave ambient noise tomography. The six black lines are the profile locations shown in (b). (b) NW-SE profiles of the seismic tomography model beneath eastern North America. The thick transparent red lines are our interpreted lithosphere-asthenosphere boundary. The two vertical dashed green lines mark the geologically-defined surface boundaries between the three tectonic provinces. The black lines above each profile represent the bathymetry/topography.
