Summary
Taiwan.TTT.KWR.2012 (Kuo-Chen, Wu & Roecker, 2012) is based on a travel-time tomographic method from active- and passive-source experiments of Taiwan Integrated Geodynamic Research (TAIGER) and other permanent seismic networks. Totally, ~2800 stations are used. This page contains supplemental information on this model’s resolution.

3D checkerboard resolution test
Travel times for the 1D background model with ±10 % anomalies in a checkerboard pattern, with ±0.1 sec random errors added, are used as input to the inversion. The sizes of the checkers are 20 km x 20 km x 10 km at shallow depths, increasing to 20 km x 20 km x 20 km and 20 km x 20 km x 30 km at greater depths. The resolution in the local tomography model is reasonable down to ~60 km depth in central Taiwan and ~90 km depth in northern Taiwan.
