Rayleigh Wave Phase Velocity Maps
• 477 stations (USArray TA and regional networks) – 0.5 degree grid
• > 100,000 inter-station paths• Ability to improve local resolution with
higher density arrays• http://ciei.colorado.edu/~morganm

Inter-station paths with good measurements
• USGS Bay Area 3-D model – two domains
• 130 common paths (EGF/synthetics)• EGFs limited by stations, synthetics
limited by model.

Conclusions and Future Work
Empirical Green’s functions within and across Nevada for comparison and inversion.
Shear-wave velocities across Nevada for background values and model/inversion constraint.
Comparison of EGF and synthetic waveforms allows for validation and assimilation of models.
Improved data coverage from higher density arrays.
