      VelocityModel​(java.lang.String modelName, double radiusOfEarth, double mohoDepth, double cmbDepth, double iocbDepth, double minRadius, double maxRadius, boolean spherical, java.util.List<VelocityLayer> layer)  
    • Field Detail

      • modelName

        protected java.lang.String modelName
        name of the velocity model.
      • radiusOfEarth

        protected double radiusOfEarth
        reference radius (km), usually radius of the earth, by default 6371 kilometers.
      • mohoDepth

        protected double mohoDepth
        Depth (km) of the moho. It can be input from velocity model (*.nd) or should be explicitly set. By default it is 35 kilometers (from Iasp91). For phase naming, the tau model will choose the closest 1st order discontinuity. Thus for most simple earth models these values are satisfactory. Take proper care if your model has a thicker crust and a discontinuity near 35 km depth.
      • cmbDepth

        protected double cmbDepth
        Depth (km) of the cmb (core mantle boundary). It can be input from velocity model (*.nd) or should be explicitly set. By default it is 2889 kilometers (from Iasp91). For phase naming, the tau model will choose the closest 1st order discontinuity. Thus for most simple earth models these values are satisfactory.
      • iocbDepth

        protected double iocbDepth
        Depth (km) of the iocb (inner core outer core boundary). It can be input from velocity model (*.nd) or should be explicitly set. By default it is 5153.9 kilometers (from Iasp91). For phase naming, the tau model will choose the closest 1st order discontinuity. Thus for most simple earth models these values are satisfactory.
      • minRadius

        protected double minRadius
        minimum radius of the model (km), default 0.0
      • maxRadius

      • readTVelFile

                                                 VelocityModelException
        This method reads in a velocity model from a "tvel" ASCII text file. The name of the model file for model "modelname" should be "modelname.tvel". The format of the file is: comment line - generally info about the P velocity model comment line - generally info about the S velocity model depth pVel sVel Density depth pVel sVel Density . . . The velocities are assumed to be linear between sample points. Because this type of model file doesn't give complete information we make the following assumptions: modelname - from the filename, with ".tvel" dropped if present radiusOfEarth - the largest depth in the model meanDensity - 5517.0 G - 6.67e-11 Also, because this method makes use of the string tokenizer, comments are allowed. # as well as // signify that the rest of the line is a comment. C style slash-star comments are also allowed.
        Throws:
        VelocityModelException - occurs if an EOL should have been read but wasn't. This may indicate a poorly formatted tvel file.

      • readNDFile

        public static VelocityModel readNDFile​(java.io.File file)
                                        throws java.io.IOException,
                                               VelocityModelException
        This method reads in a velocity model from a "nd" ASCII text file, the format used by Xgbm. The name of the model file for model "modelname" should be "modelname.nd". The format of the file is: depth pVel sVel Density Qp Qs depth pVel sVel Density Qp Qs . . . with each major boundary separated with a line with "mantle", "outer-core" or "inner-core". "moho", "cmb" and "icocb" are allowed as synonyms respectively. This feature makes phase interpretation much easier to code. Also, as they are not needed for travel time calculations, the density, Qp and Qs may be omitted. The velocities are assumed to be linear between sample points. Because this type of model file doesn't give complete information we make the following assumptions: modelname - from the filename, with ".nd" dropped, if present radiusOfEarth - the largest depth in the model Also, because this method makes use of the string tokenizer, comments are allowed. # as well as // signify that the rest of the line is a comment. C style slash-star comments are also allowed.
        Throws:
        VelocityModelException - occurs if an EOL should have been read but wasn't. This may indicate a poorly formatted model file.
        java.io.IOException
      • fixDisconDepths

        public boolean fixDisconDepths()
        resets depths of major discontinuities to match those existing in the input velocity model. The initial values are set such that if there is no discontinuity within the top 65 km then the moho is set to 0.0. Similarly, if there are no discontinuities at al then the cmb is set to the radius of the earth. Similarly for the iocb, except it must be a fluid to solid boundary and deeper than 100km to avoid problems with shallower fluid layers, eg oceans.
