Data Services Products: EMC-SAM4_P_2017 Regional finite-frequency teleseismic P-wave tomography model for central Chile and Argentina

Summary

SAM4_P_2017 is a regional finite-frequency teleseismic P-wave tomography model for central Chile and Argentina. It uses relative arrival time residuals from 678 earthquakes recorded at 394 stations of a variety of temporary and permanent seismic deployments in Chile and Argentina.

Description

Name SAM4_P_2017
Title Regional finite-frequency teleseismic P-wave tomography model for central Chile and Argentina
Type 3-D Tomography Earth Model
Sub Type Relative P-wave velocity (%dVP)
Year 2017
Short Description   This model uses relative arrival time residuals from 678 earthquakes recorded at 394 stations of a variety of temporary and permanent seismic deployments in Chile and Argentina. Residuals are measured in four frequency bands and inverted in a finite-frequency tomographic inversion.
