Collaborative Research: Seismic Investigation of the Sub-ice Environment and Crustal Composition of Antarctica
Short Title:
Antarctic radial and azimuthal anisotropy models
Start Date:

End Date:

Description/Abstract
This project provides Antarctic crustal and uppermost-mantle models from ambient-noise tomography. The radial-anisotropy dataset contains shear-wave velocity, radial anisotropy, Moho depth, sediment thickness and uncertainty fields. The azimuthal-anisotropy dataset contains anisotropy amplitudes, fast-axis directions, uncertainties, reference structure and node misfit values. Both datasets are archived on Zenodo as NetCDF grids and text tables with a README describing fields and units.
