ex01_ant_rf

This example applies the USGS Global Hybrid Vs30 Mosaic to the Cascadia ANT+RF model. The model already follows topography, so the Ely transition begins at the highest model node containing Vs in each dry column. Oceanic columns are excluded with GMT’s GSHHG classification.

Five native layers spanning depths from -3 to 1 km are staged in their native increasing, positive-down order and interpolated to 50 m vertical spacing. The depth coordinate is converted from kilometers to meters with +z1000, and -U1000 performs the Ely equations in meters per second while retaining Vs in kilometers per second. Plot-only section grids are flipped to the corresponding positive-up elevation range from -1 to 3 km; the model cubes are not reordered.

The figure compares Vs30, the original and modified surface Vs, and sections along 47 N. Values below the documented 98 m/s lower limit of the USGS mosaic are treated as missing.
