Summary
OK-DGT-2021 (Chai et al., 2021) is a seismic velocity model that combines local body-wave travel times, surface-wave dispersions and gravity observations through a 3D simultaneous inversion to image the subsurface P- and S-wave velocity structure of the Oklahoma region. DGT stands for dispersion, gravity, and travel times.

| Short Description | The OK-DGT-2021 seismic velocity model combines local body-wave travel times, surface-wave dispersions and gravity observations through a 3D simultaneous inversion to image the subsurface P- and S-wave velocity structure of the Oklahoma region. Data include 58,896 P-wave arrival times, 20,155 S-wave arrival times, 1995 Rayleigh- and Love-wave dispersion curves, and wavenumber filtered Bouguer gravity observations. Constrained by multiple geophysical observations, the velocity model is a reliable starting point for more detailed seismic investigations. Supplements to the original manuscript (available from AGU) include the original-formatted model and related visualizations. |

| Model Download | OK-DGT-2021.r0.0.nc (see metadata) is the OK-DGT-2021 model in netCDF 3 Classic format. The model is expressed as P- and S-wave velocities in km/s. Density (g/cm3) is also provided, which are inferred based on the empirical relationship between density and shear wave velocity (Maceira and Ammon, 2009). |
