Crustal thicknesses of Asia/China
中国大陆地壳厚度分布1. Moho points, China/Asia, from seismic stations
Crustal thicknesses beneath 1669 seismic stations, including permanent and portable seismic stations, in China were retrieved using 1-D S-wave velocity models, which were obtained by linearized inversion of the RFs with initial reference models from regionalized S-wave velocities of surface-wave inversions. Synthetic tests in Feng et al. (2017) demonstrated that this inversion scheme is superior to a jointly linearized inversion of RFs and surface waves. It is noted that the thicknesses are distance from surface to the Moho discontinuity. 理论测试(Feng et al., 2017 )证明了：先用面波频散反演一维S波波速模型，然后用该模型做利用接收函数(或与面波联合)反演一维波速的初始模型，明显优于直接进行面波和接收函数的线性化联合反演。据此，我们对中国大陆内的1669个台站进行了这种两步反演，然后根据所得到的波速模型确定了台站下方的地壳厚度。见下图和下面可下载的数据文件。
The thicknesses can be downloaded:
- Ascii file: [download]. This file is the same file as one of supplementary files in Feng et al. (2017).
The thicknesses are shown in figure below:
Figure 1. Crustal thicknesses beneath 1669 seismic stations in China. The figure is the same as Figure 6 in Feng et al. [2017]. The thicknesses are determined from 1-D S-velocity models inverted from receiver functions, but not from H-k stacking. [download PDF]

2. Moho map, Central-East Tibetan Plateau (CETP2020-CRUST)
Crustal thickness map in Central-East Tibetan Plateau were retrieved using 3-D S-wave velocity model of CETP2020-S, which were obtained by a direct joint inversion from receiver functions and surface-wave inversions Feng et al. [2020].
The thicknesses can be downloaded:
- Compressed xyz (lon, lat, depth) file/经、纬、深度的xyz压缩文件: [download].
Each position (x/lon, y/lat) is the center of a cell. This file is the same as Table S2 in Feng et al. [2020]. - Compressed netCDF grid files: [download].
After uncompress it by run "tar -zxvf CETP2020-CRUST_grd.tar.gz", you can get a grid file. If you need ascii file, you can convert it by grd2xyz (a command in Generic Mapping Tools) or other tools.
The thicknesses are shown in figure below:
Figure 2. Crustal thickness map beneath Central-East Tibetan Plateau. The figure is the same as Figure 8 in Feng et al. [2020]. The thicknesses are determined from 3-D S-velocity models jointly inverted from receiver functions and surface waves. [download PDF]
