Description
| Name | TW-PS-H14 |
| Title | 3D P-wave and S-wave velocity model of Taiwan from joint inversion of P-wave and S-wave travel times, strong motion S-P times, and borehole logging data. |
| Type | 3-D Tomography Earth Model |
| Sub Type | P-wave/S-wave velocity (km/s) and velocity perturbation (%), and Vp/Vs ratio |
| Year | 2014 |
| Short Description | A new set of 3-D Vp, Vs, and Vp/Vs models for Taiwan region is determined by an elaborate joint-inversion scheme that integrates the data of P- and S-wave travel times, S-P times, and the borehole logging data (for near-surface correction) into one system. |
