Data Services Products: EMC-SYNGINE-RETIRED IRIS Syngine supported 1-D Earth models

Summary

The IRIS Synthetics Engine (Syngine) is a webservice that quickly returns synthetic seismograms custom requested by the user. The IRIS DMC stores precalculated TB scale databases of Green’s Functions for several different 1D reference models. This page provides information the 1D reference models supported by Syngine.

Description

The IRIS DMC stores precalculated TB scale databases of Green’s Functions for several different 1D reference models listed below. The Syngine model text files are the input files used by AxiSEM to generate the Green’s function databases used by Instaseis in Syngine.
