Seismic velocity model images, Eastern North American Margin Community Seismic Experiment (ENAM CSE)
This data set presents images of each seismic velocity model and corresponding ray coverage. The top panels show the Derivate Weight Sum (DWS) of each model, which is a measure of ray density in the model grid space. Likewise, the density of bounce points on each reflecting boundary is shown by the relative size of black circles. DWS can be used to assess areas of poor ray coverage and hence use caution when interpreting velocities or layer boundary depths in these domains. Here, the base10 logarithm of DWS for each model is taken and the corresponding colormap and size of circles along boundaries are normalized to span the minimum and maximum of these values. This normalization is done for each individual model – thus, the plots show relative areas of good and bad ray coverage within a single model but should not be used to quantitatively compare ray density from model to model. Velocity models are plotted with 1 km/s contours. These image files are in PNG format. This data set was generated as part of the projects called Seismic study of mantle deformation and melt extraction during continental breakup in the ENAM primary site; and, Final stages of breakup and early spreading history of the Eastern North America passive margin from multichannel seismic data. Funding was providing through NSF awards OCE15-51717 and OCE15-51807.
