RCL Gulf of California receiver function model (2008)

RCL Gulf of California receiver function model (2008)

Large-scale model for the Gulf of California Region based on receiver functions and surface wave inversions. The triangles are the NARS-Baja stations and the green circles are locations of receiver functions. The depth panels in the right panel show the shear-wave velocity along transects denoted by the lines on the map. The southernmost E-W panels shows the sharp athenosphere anomaly associated with the spreading center, while the northernmost panel shows a diffuse athenosphere upwelling.
