Assessment of global phase velocity models

Journal article

We construct new Love and Rayleigh wave phase velocity models based on measurements made from an aspherical starting model and strict data quality control derived from cluster analyses. These new models are in good agreement with previous ones and the question arises whether the slight changes show an improved capacity to explain the data. To this effect, we propose an objective method to compare different phase velocity models published in recent literature. The method is based on comparing ...
