ReadND: Read Model File

Description

Scans a model from .nd or .clr format into R.

Usage

ReadND(filename, verbose = TRUE)
ReadCLR(filename, z = 'default')

Arguments

filename

Filename, including path

verbose

Logical: should details be printed during run?

z

Vector of depths at which velocities should be calculated, or 'default' for a default vector.

Value

Planet model corresponding to the .nd/.clr file.

Details

.nd refers to 'Named Discontinuity' files (Davis and Henson, 1993), in which properties are provided at each sampled depth. .clr refers to 'Continuous Layer Representation' files (Knapmeyer, 2004), in which coefficients of polynomial approximations of velocities are given for each of several layers.
