TauP Discon

TauP Discon lists the discontinuities within the given velocity model.

The lines beginning with three dashes are depth and radius. The lines immediately above and below these lines are the velocity and density just above and below the discontinuity. If a discontinuity is named, that will also be printed on the discontinuity line.

For example, the lists the depths of disconinuties in the ak135fcont model:

taup discon --mod ak135fcont

# ak135fcont
#        Depth    (Radius)
#        Vp      Vs      Density

The usage is:

Usage: taup discon [--debug] [--help] [--verbose] [-o=<outFile>]
                   [--prop=<toolPropsFilename>] [--mod=model [--mod=model]... |
                   --nd=model [--nd=model]... | --tvel=model [--tvel=model]...]
                   [--html | --json | --text]
List velocity discontinuities for a model.

Options:

      --debug                enable debugging output
      --help                 display this help message
  -o, --output=<outFile>     output to file, default is stdout.
      --prop=<toolPropsFilename>
                             load defaults from properties file
      --verbose              enable verbose output
Velocity Model
      --mod, --model=model   use velocity model "modelname" for calculations,
                               format is guessed.
      --nd=model             "named discontinuities" velocity file
      --tvel=model           ".tvel" velocity file, ala ttimes
Output Type:
      --html                 outputs as HTML
      --json                 outputs as JSON
      --text                 outputs as Text
