Load a model of the Mohorovičić discontinuity (crust-mantle interface) with the given parameters. For a list of valid combinations of parameters (total 21,894 options), run redplanet.Crust.moho.get_registry()
(returns a pandas DataFrame).
Spherical harmonic coefficients are precomputed in Wieczorek (2022) and downloaded on-the-fly from our own mirror. The full paper discusses/analyzes the models in detail (Wieczorek et al., 2022). We process spherical harmonic coefficients with pyshtools
(Wieczorek et al., 2024; Wieczorek & Meschede, 2018).
NOTE: Each moho file is about 228 KiB. These typically download in a fraction of a second (assuming you're accessing a model first time), so poor performance is likely due to poor internet connection.
Parameters:
Name | Type | Description | Default |
---|---|---|---|

Options are: ['DWAK', 'DWThot', 'DWThotCrust1', 'DWThotCrust1r', 'EH45Tcold', 'EH45TcoldCrust1', 'EH45TcoldCrust1r', 'EH45ThotCrust2', 'EH45ThotCrust2r', 'Khan2022', 'LFAK', 'SANAK', 'TAYAK', 'YOTHotRc1760kmDc40km', 'YOTHotRc1810kmDc40km', 'ZG_DW']. See notes for more information. |
