Evaluation of the southern California seismic velocity models through simulation of recorded events
Published in Geophysical Journal International, 2016
This study compares seismic velocity models for southern California, focusing on CVM-S, CVM-H, and their variations. Using simulations of 30 moderate earthquakes (1998–2014) against observed data, results show that CVM-S4.26 provides the most accurate predictions of ground motion in the Los Angeles region.
