| Area | northeastern North America (latitude: 39.5°/47.7°; longitude: -76.2°/-67°) | |
| Data Set Description | This model includes Moho depth in two scales: 1) Moho depth values extracted from the common conversion point (CCP) stacking of teleseismic P wave receiver functions every 0.5 degree. 2) Interpolated Moho depth with the interval of 0.1 degree using triangulation-based cubic interpolation method. We obtained receiver functions from 688 high-quality earthquake events recorded by a total of 87 permanent and 109 temporary broadband seismic stations in this region (see Li et al., 2018 for details). Images of the extracted Moho are available in Li et al. (2018) | |
