obspy.taup.velocity_layer.evaluate_velocity_at

evaluate_velocity_at(layer, depth, prop)[source]

Evaluate material properties at some depth in a velocity layer.

See also

evaluate_velocity_at_top(), evaluate_velocity_at_bottom()

Parameters:
  • layer (ndarray, dtype = VelocityLayer) The velocity layer to use for evaluation.
  • depth (float) The depth at which the material property should be evaluated. Must be within the bounds of the layer or results will be undefined.
  • prop (str)

    The material property to evaluate. One of:

    • p
      Compressional (P) velocity (km/s)
    • s
      Shear (S) velocity (km/s)
    • r or d
      Density (g/cm^3)
Returns:

The value of the material property requested.
Return type:

ndarray (dtype = float, shape equivalent to layer)
