Dataset for "WUS256: An Adjoint Waveform Tomography Model of the Crust and Upper Mantle of the Western United States for Improved Waveform Simulations"

<p>This dataset contains the WUS256 seismic model and auxiliary data used in the creation of the model (Rodgers et al., 2022).&nbsp; WUS256 is a three-dimensional model of the seismic properties of crust and upper mantle of the western United States.&nbsp; The WUS256 model is provided in NetCDF format (readable by for example, <em>xarray</em>, Hoyer &amp; Hamman,&nbsp;<a href="https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/2021JB022930#jgrb55516-bib-0057">2017</a>) and HDF5 format for viewing with <em>ParaView</em> (Ahrens et&nbsp;al.,&nbsp;<a href="https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/2021JB022930#jgrb55516-bib-0002">2005</a>) and interaction with <em>Salvus</em> (Afanasiev et&nbsp;al.,&nbsp;<a href="https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/2021JB022930#jgrb55516-bib-0001">2019</a>).</p> <p>Also included are the earthquake source parameters for the 72 inversion events and 18 validation events in ASCII text format.&nbsp; Lastly, we include a list of all waveforms used in the creation of WUS256.&nbsp; This is a simple ASCII file with the event name and receiver name (composed of the network_code and station_code).</p> <p>This effort was support by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory&rsquo;s Laboratory Directed Research and Development project 20-ERD-008.&nbsp; This work was performed under the auspices of the U.S. Department of Energy by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory under Contract DE-AC52-07NA27344.
