Velocity model file

This file describes the velocity model that is passed to the forward computation programs (i.e., disper_fwd and recv_func_fwd).

Format

  • Line 1: the number of layers (including seawater and half-space).
  • Line 2 and after: Vp (km/s), Vs (km/s), density (g/cm^3), thickness (km)

NOTE

  • For the ocean layer, set Vs to be lower than 0 (this is allowed only for the topmost layer).

  • The thickness of the bottom layer (half-space) is not used.

  • Empty lines are ignored.

  • Comment out by "#" works fine.

  • Example is here.
