Two-dimensional seismic velocity data (netCDF grid format) for the Chicxulub Crater area (EW0501, 2005)

These two-dimensional velocity models are derived from full-waveform inversion of multichannel seismic data collected in the Chicxulub Crater area during 2005 Ewing cruise EW0501 (chief scientists Sean Gulick and Penny Barton). The data files are in GMT-compatible netCDF grid format with grid parameters as follows: X values are distance in km along profile; Y values are depths in km below the sea surface; Z values are P-wave velocities in m/s. The data set was generated as part of the project called Chicxulub impact effects and the recovery of life using scientific drilling investigations at ground zero. Funding was provided from NSF award OCE17-37351.
