Evidence for High Velocities Around Magma Body M1
XY slice through the Final 3D model at a depth of 2.0 km below the sea
floor.
Note that high velocity bodies surround the central low velolocity Magma Body M1.
These record section showing
actual seismic data (black wiggles), picks (thin curves) and
model predictions (bold pink curves) were chosen for a source/receiver geometery
that has rays that rays graze the top of the high velocity
bodies that are on the south side of Magma Body M1. Note that
the traveltimes predicted from the Draped-1D model (right record section) are systematically
late, and have too slow apparent velocities. The high velocity bodies in the
Final 3D model (right record section) does a better job at predicting the
observed arrival times.
