| Short Description | SASSY21 is a 3-D seismic structural model of the lithosphere and underlying mantle beneath Southeast Asia from full-waveform inversion – sometimes referred to as adjoint waveform tomography –, which was obtained using seismic data filtered at periods from 20 to 150 s. Synthetic seismograms were computed for an anelastic Earth using Salvus (Afanasiev et al., 2019), accommodating effects of topography, bathymetry and ocean load. The inversion parameters were restricted to those well-constrained by the intermediate-period waveform data, i.e. isotropic P-wave velocity (vP), radially anisotropic S-wave velocity (vSH and vSV) and density (⍴). |

| Previous Model | |
| Reference Model | We adopt CSEM – Generation 1 (Fichtner et al., 2018) as a starting model. No region-specific model was available for Southeast Asia and thus, CSEM is essentially a modified version of the anisotropic PREM (Dziewoński & Anderson, 1981), e.g. the Lehmann discontinuity was replaced by a linear gradient and the elastic properties of the lower crust have been extended to the surface. |
| Usage Notes | The model files provide the following absolute values of the final model SASSY21: vP, vSH, vSV, vS, ⍴, Qκ and Qμ. Note that the inversion parameters are restricted to vSH, vSV, vP and ⍴. |
| Model Download | SASSY21.r0.0-n4.nc is the pre-gridded model in the netCDF 4 Classic format (metadata). The SASSY21 model in HDF5 and CSV formats, and the filtered waveforms to allow reproduction of our results can be found on a Zenodo repository. |
| Depth Coverage | 0 to 800 km |
| Area | Southeast Asia (latitude -15°, 15°, longitude 92°, 140°) |
| Data Set Description | SASSY21 is defined by both P-wave and S-wave structure, and constrained by inversion of both body and surface waveforms. This is achieved through the application of full-waveform inversion to a large regional dataset, which comprises > 3,000 h of analyzed waveform data gathered from ~13,000 unique source-receiver pairs. |
