Data Services Products: EMC-FWEA23 Full-waveform tomography model of East Asia (FWEA23)

Summary

FWEA23 is a high-resolution seismic P- and S-wave velocity model of the crust and mantle beneath East Asia. It’s produced by full-waveform adjoint inversion using a large dataset.

Model Home Page None
 
Depth Coverage 0 to 1000 km
 
Area East Asia (5° S to 55° N and 65° E to 150° E)
 
Data Set Description A total of 141 earthquakes and 4640 seismic stations were used in this study. The earthquakes were from 2008 to 2018 and had magnitudes ranging from Mw 5.5 to 7.2. The body wave windows were filtered to 15-100 s and the surface wave windows were filtered to 25-100 s and 70-130 s.

Map views of isotropic S-wave velocity perturbations
Map views of isotropic S-wave velocity perturbations in model FWEA23 at depths from 50 to 700 km. Red lines represent trenches and black lines depict tectonic unit boundaries. Notable geological blocks with fast velocity anomalies are labeled as follows: SB (Sichuan Basin), OB (Ordos Block), TB (Tarim Basin), QB (Qaidam Basin), and KB (Khorat Basin). Red triangles indicate Holocene volcanoes (Global Volcanism Program, 2023). Many of these volcanoes are clearly associated with slow anomalies in model FWEA23 and are marked with a black circle and labeled as: V1 (Tengchong volcano), V2 (Changbaishan volcano), V3 (Kunlun volcano), and V4 (Jom-Bolok volcano). S1, S2, and S3 refer to slow regions beneath Japan Sea, Southeast Asia, and northern Tibet. IND: Indian plate.
