Description
| Name | US.2016 |
| Title | 3D shear-wave velocity model of the US from joint inversion of surface wave dispersion from ambient noise and earthquakes, Rayleigh wave H/V ratio, and receiver functions |
| Type | 3-D Tomography Earth Model |
| Sub Type | shear wave velocities |
| Year | 2016 |
| Short Description | The model is based on a joint Monte Carlo inversion of Rayleigh wave phase and group velocity from ambient noise, Rayleigh wave phase velocity from earthquakes, Rayleigh wave H/V ratio from earthquakes, and receiver functions collected from ~1800 Earthscope USArray stations between 2005 to 2015. |
