obspy.taup.velocity_model.VelocityModel.__init__¶
- VelocityModel.__init__(model_name, radius_of_planet, min_radius, max_radius, moho_depth, cmb_depth, iocb_depth, is_spherical, layers=None)[source]¶
Object for storing a seismic planet model.
Parameters: - model_name (str) name of the velocity model.
- radius_of_planet (float) reference radius (km), usually radius of the planet.
- min_radius (float) Minimum radius of the model (km).
- max_radius (float) Maximum radius of the model (km).
- moho_depth (float) Depth (km) of the Moho. It can be input from velocity model (*.nd) or should be explicitly set. For phase naming, the tau model will choose the closest first order discontinuity.
- cmb_depth (float) Depth (km) of the CMB (core mantle boundary). It can be input from velocity model (*.nd) or should be explicitly set.
- iocb_depth (float) Depth (km) of the IOCB (inner core-outer core boundary). It can be input from velocity model (*.nd) or should be explicitly set.
- is_spherical (bool) Is this a spherical model? Defaults to true.
- layers (list) The layers of the model.
