pyrex.earth_model.CoreMantleCrustModel

class pyrex.earth_model.CoreMantleCrustModel

Class describing the Earth’s density.

Uses densities from the Core-Mantle-Crust model as implemented in AraSim.

Attributes

earth_radiusfloat

Mean radius of the Earth (m).

radiituple

Boundary radii (m) at which the functional form of the density of the Earth changes. The density function in densities at index i corresponds to the radius range from radius at index i-1 to radius at index i.

densitiestuple

Functions which calculate the density of the Earth (g/cm^3) in a specific radius range as described by radii. The parameter of each function is the fractional radius, e.g. radius divided by earth_radius. Scalar values denote constant density over the range of radii.

Methods

density(r)	Calculates the Earth’s density at a given radius.
slant_depth(endpoint, direction[, step])	Calculates the column density of a chord cutting through Earth.
