Usage

SMV2rho is intended to be used for converting 1D velocity profiles into density. We recommend initially using it with SeisCruST, a global database of seismic continental crustal structure. SeisCruST can be accessed here https://github.com/sstephenson2/SeisCRUST. Velocity profiles in SeisCruST are distributed in the correct format for use directly in SMV2rho.

Velocity profiles must be organised in the following way:

profile_name
lon lat
moho_depth
vs1 -z1
vs2 -z2
.    .
.    .
.    .

with depth in negative kilometres.

Users can choose their own file structure, but it is recommended to use a database structured in the following way:

TEST_DATA
|- TEST_DATA
|  |- EUROPE
|  |  `- Vp
|  |     `- RECEIVER_FUNCTION
|  |        `- DATA
|  `- HUDSON_BAY
|     `- Vs
|        `- RECEIVER_FUNCTION
|           `- DATA

This structure is given in the TEST_DATA/ directory in this distribution. This directory contains a couple of example velocity profile data files.
