Imaging structure and geometry of slabs in the greater Alpine area – a P-wave travel-time tomography using AlpArray Seismic Network data by M. Paffrath, W. Friederich, S. M. Schmid, M. R. Handy, M. R. Handy

“…Predictions of travel times are computed in a hybrid way applying a fast TauP method outside the model domain and continuing the wave fronts into the model domain using a fast marching method. We iteratively invert demeaned travel-time residuals for P-wave velocities in the model domain using a regular discretization with an average lateral spacing of about <span class="inline-formula">25</span> km and a vertical spacing of <span class="inline-formula">15</span> km. …”
