| Short Description | WUS324 (Rodgers et al., 2024) is a model of radially anisotropic crustal and upper mantle seismic structure of the western United States from multiscale full waveform inversion tomography. It is based on 3 stages and 68 iterations beyond our previous model WUS256 (Rodgers et al., 2022) using a larger data set (Rodgers, 2024). WUS324 provides significantly improved waveform fits with minimum period of 16 seconds relative to the starting and several other models. | ||
