TauP Discon

TauP Discon lists the discontinuities within the given velocity model.

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]...]
                   [--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:
      --json                 outputs as JSON
      --text                 outputs as Text
