| 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. |

| 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. |

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.
