Data Services Products: EMC-FWEA18 Full waveform inversion of East Asia

Summary

FWEA18 Earth model represents a full waveform inversion model for East Asia.

Description

Name FWEA18
Title Full waveform inversion of East Asia
Type 3-D Tomography Earth Model
Sub Type Radial anisotropic (in the uppermost mantle) P and S velocities
Year 2018
Short Description   In this model, radial anisotropy is confined to the uppermost mantle (above 220 km). 1D Qmu model is fixed to QL6 (Durek & Ekström, 1996). All velocities are at 1 Hz.

Depth Coverage Upper Mantle (0 to 800 km)
Area East Asia (N10°/60°, E90°/150°)
 
Data Set Description [ Tao et al. (2018) ] A total of 95 earthquakes and 1590 seismographic stations were used in this study. The final dataset is comprised of ~1.35 million body wave windows (10 – 100 sec) and ~72 thousand surface wave traces (40 – 100sec).

FWEA18 horizontal cross sections
Figure 1. Horizontal cross sections of relative perturbations in the Voigt averaged isotropic S-velocity at depths ranging from 80 km to 750 km. The number on the left top of each figure shows the depth and the number on the right top shows the average velocity at this depth. Red lines delineate plate boundaries and red triangles show the location of the Holocene volcanoes. The seismicity within 50 km at each depth is shown as white dots.
