Description

Name CAM2016
Title Global upper mantle surface wave tomography model
Type 3-D Tomography Earth Model
Sub Type S velocity
Year 2016
Short Description   CAM2016 is a group of global upper mantle models based on multi-mode surface wave tomography. Details of the analysis procedures are given in Cara & Leveque (1987), Debayle & Sambridge (2004), Priestley et al (2006), Debayle & Ricard (2012), Priestley & McKenzie (2013) and Ho et al (2016). These models include an upper mantle Vsv model CAM2016Vsv derived from the waveform modeling of more than 2 million vertical component Rayleigh waveforms, an upper mantle Vsh model CAM2016Vsh from the waveform modeling of ~0.5 million transverse component Love waveforms, a radial anisotropic model CAM2016Xi derived from the waveform modeling of ~0.25 million Rayleigh and Love waveforms with common propagation paths, a lithospheric thickness model CAM2016Litho, and an upper mantle thermal model CAM2016T-200. All models are defined on a 2 degree by 2 degree grid. Vsv and Vsh models are given for several lateral smoothing lengths. The models determined with the shorter smoothing length are applicable to the shallower depths while the models determined with the larger smoothing length are more appropriate to the deeper depths.

Each of the following compressed TAR Archive files contains separated files for each depth of upper mantle model CAM2016:
  • For the compressed TAR files CAM2016Vsv_?00.tgz, where ?00 in the file name designates that the model was determined with a smoothing half-length of ?00 km, the columns are : (1) latitude, (2) longitude, (3) Vsv, (4) percent deviation from layer_average_0??.mod, (5) percent deviation from reference.mod, (6) azimuth of fast axis azimuthal anisotropy from north, (7) amplitude peak-to-peak anisotropy. Within each compressed TAR Archive the file layer_average_???.mod provides the 1-D layer average Vsv model and reference.mod provides the 1-D Vsv reference model. The compressed TAR files CAM2016Vsh_?00.tgz have a similar structure except that columns: (6) azimuth of fast axis 2PI azimuthal anisotropy from north, (7) amplitude peak-to-peak 2PI azimuthal anisotropy, (8) azimuth of fast axis 4PI azimuthal anisotropy from north, amplitude peak-to-peak 4PI azimuthal anisotropy.
  • The compressed TAR files CAM2016Xi-?00.tgz, where ?00 in the file name designates that the model was determined with a smoothing half-length of ?00 km, contains the radial anisotropy files whose structure is column: (1) latitude, (2) longitude, (3) amplitude radial anisotropy. * The compressed TAR file CAM2016T-200.tgz is similar in format to that of the CAM2016Sv files except the columns are: (1) latitude, (2) longitude, (3) temperature at each depth.
  • The compressed TAR file CAM2016Litho.tgz contains a single file giving the thermal lithospheric thickness at each geographic point. The columns in the file are: (1) Latitude, (2) longitude and (3) thickness (km).

Data Set Description Models are derived from all waveforms with CMT solutions currently available at the IRIS and EIDA data centers plus additional waveform data for Southern Asia. All models defined on a 2 degree by 2 degree grid. Vsv models are provided for four smoothing lengths; Vsh models are provided for three smoothing lengths. For wave-speed models the absolute shear wave speed, the perturbation to the layer average, and perturbation to the reference model are tabulated.

SWTomo Pacific
The map at left shows the lateral variation of percent deviation of the Vsv
wave-speed with respect to the reference model at 70 km depth for the Pacific
hemisphere. The scale at left beneath the map shows the percent perturbation
at this depth with respect to the reference wave-speed (SPREM_Vsv) at this
depth whose value (Vsref) is shown below the map at right. The lateral smoothing
half-width is 200 km. The two lines on the map marked AA’ and BB’ show the
locations of the two cross-sections shown at right in the figure.

CAM2016 Vsh
The map at left shows the lateral variation of percent deviation of the Vsh
wave-speed with respect to the reference model at 70 km depth for the Pacific
hemisphere. The scale at left beneath the map shows the percent perturbation
at this depth with respect to the reference wave-speed (SPREM_Vsh) at this
depth whose value (Vsref) is shown below the map at right. The lateral
smoothinghalf-width is 600 km. The two lines on the map marked AA’ and BB’
show the locations of the two cross-sections shown at right in the figure.

CAM2016 Xi
The map at left shows the lateral variation of radial anisotropy (Xi) at 150 km
depth for the Pacific hemisphere. The scale at left beneath the map shows the
magnitude of the radial anisotropy. The two lines on the map marked AA’ and BB’
show the locations of the two radial anisotropy cross-sections shown at right in
the figure.

Global lithospheric map
The global lithospheric model derived from the upper mantle tomographic Vsv
model CAM2016Vsv. The lithospheric model was derived by converting the Vsv
model to a temperature model using the Vs(T) relationship described in
(Priestley & McKenzie, 2013), then examining the geotherm at each geographic
point of the model and identifying the depth of the transition from the
conducting to advecting geotherm. The yellow contour denotes the
geologically-mapped boundary of the shields at the surface.
