Data Set Description    [Wang et al. (2020)] Dataset includes S-wave velocity structure across Southern California based on 10504 Rayleigh waves and 10463 Love waves filtered at 5-50s from three-component ambient noise recorded by 148 regional stations from 2006 to 2012.
 

Figure 1
F*igure 1.* Map of southern California with topography, bathymetry and active faults. The solid black rectangle outlines the simulation region. The 148 stations used in this tomographic study are shown as triangles, out of which 19 are selected for line search (shown in red). Faults are indicated by the bold black lines. Labels 1-8 denote the major eight geological provinces with their boundaries delineated by red dash lines: 1. Coastal Ranges; 2. Great Central Valley; 3. Sierra Nevada; 4. Basin and Ranges; 5. Transverse Ranges; 6. Mojave Desert; 7. Peninsular Ranges; 8. Salton Trough. Geological features labeled in bold white letters as referred by subsequent figures: SCR, southern Coast Range; SAF, San Andreas Fault; SJV, San Joaquin Valley; SNB, Sierra Nevada Batholith; GF, Garlock Fault; WL, Walker Lane; WBR, Western Basin and Range; WTR, CTR, and ETR, western, central and eastern Transverse Range; ECSZ, Eastern California shear zone; ICB, Inner Continental Borderland; LAB, Los Angeles Basin; EF, Elsinore Fault; SJF, San Joaquin Fault; ePRB and wPRB, east and west Peninsular Ranges Batholith; STB, Salton Trough Basin.

Geological features (with abbreviations shown in Figure 1) are marked by blue lines and bold texts; the depths of Moho [Zhu et al., 2010] are plotted in black solid lines. Major faults (SAF: San Andreas Fault; GF: Garlock Fault) are marked by red dashed lines and bold text.
