Title:
Seismic P-wave velocity models (netCDF format) for the Lesser Antilles Subduction Zone area (EW9803, 1998)
Abstract:
These two-dimensional seismic P-wave velocity models are derived from inversion of ocean bottom data collected in the Lesser Antilles Subduction Zone area during 1998 R/V Maurice Ewing cruise EW9803. The velocity files are in GMT-compatible netCDF grid format with grid parameters as follows: The x-coordinate is profile distance in km (grid interval 0.5 km), the y-coordinate is depth in km below the sea surface (grid interval 0.5 km), and the z-values are P-wave velocities in km/s. The files with "velm" in the name are masked to show only regions with ray coverage. The data set was generated as part of the project called Structure, Tectonics and Sediment Flow into the Lesser Antilles Subduction Zone, with funding from NSF award OCE96-17751.
