Community Velocity Model - SCEC 5

CVM-S5 is an improved version of the CVM-S4 velocity model which includes full 3D tomographic improvements to the SCEC 4 velocity model as well as an optional GTL implementation. Please note that unlike CVM-S4.26, CVM-S5 does not "merge" the results of the inversion with an underlying velocity model. Therefore it is strictly the 26th iteration dataset, 500m resolution, tri-linearly interpolated. There is no background model included, although UCVM can tile a background 1D model should the user specifically ask for it.

Material Properties Below 50km

The image below shows depth profiles for all CyberShake sites plotted onto one image. The depth goes from 0km to 500km.

In the two images below, CVM-S5 is in red and CVM-S4 is in blue. Currently, CVM-S5 returns the material properties at 50km for all depths below 50km.

Attenuation Relationship

Attenuation is based off of Olsen et al., 2003 and is calculated as follows:

If Vs < 1500:
    Qs = Vs * 0.02
Else:
    Qs = Vs * 0.10

Qp = Qs * 1.5

Density Based on Vs

According to Po Chen:

"The Vs-density relation was obtained from Table 1 in Brocher 2005. In that table, the 3rd column is Vs and the 5th column is density. So I did a regression using data from these two columns and obtained a polynomial relation for Vs-density. Those numbers in that data file are the coefficients of the polynomial."

The actual polynomial is:

1.2948318548300342 + 1.2550758337054457Vs - 0.51231936640441489Vs2 + 0.051962399479341816Vs3 + 0.015600987888334450Vs4 - 0.0024189659303912917Vs5
