| Depth Coverage | 0 to 105 km |
| Area | Broader region of the Middle East, including Iranian Plateau, Zagros, Turkish-Anatolian Plateau, the Caucasus, the Arabian Plate, Red Sea, Afar and eastern Mediterranean latitude: 8.0°/44.0° @0.25°, longitude: 24.0°/63.75° @0.25° |
| Data Set Description | The model uses group velocity dispersion curves obtained from ambient-noise cross-correlation and regional earthquakes for the 3-D shear-wave velocity structure of the curst and uppermost mantle beneath the Middle East. |
