| Data Set Description | [ Obrebski et al. (2011)] he station distribution that used in this study covers all the major magmato-tectonic features of the active western United States plus the westernmost part of the stable cratonic United States. This includes more than 1200 stations from the USArray transportable array, regional seismic networks, and temporary seismic deployments. Data were recorded from 2006 January to 2010 January. Relative traveltimes of teleseismic body waves (S and SKS) obtained from about 162 earthquakes, and surface wave phase velocity measurements from 167 eartqhuakes were used to constrain the model. |
