adopted from Laske et al. (2013); the models are indicated in a by brown lines. The initial velocity model (P-wave velocity) is adopted from Eakin et al. (2014); the model is indicated by the black line and black dashed line (modified by depth layers) in b

Layered seismic wave (P- and S-waves) velocity models (a and b) and Vp/Vs ratio versus depth (c). The solid and dashed lines in the velocity models represent the P- and S-wave velocities, respectively. The red and blue lines in the Vp/Vs ratio plot represent the values from C2005 and C2006. Both the scales of depth from sea level and the seafloor are indicated. The gray-blue shadows along with the P- and S-wave velocity models indicate the uncertainties of the retrieved models. The velocity models for typical oceanic crusts are
