SPECFEM3D_GLOBE simulates global and regional (continental-scale) seismic wave propagation.

Effects due to lateral variations in compressional-wave speed, shear-wave speed, density, a 3D crustal model, ellipticity, topography and bathymetry, the oceans, rotation, and self-gravitation are all included.

See specfem.org.

SPECFEM3D_GLOBE 8.0.0:

• support for new Earth, Moon & Mars models
• ADIOS2 file I/O support
• HIP GPU support
• GLL models for azimuthal anisotropy & Q
• LDDRK on GPU support
• Laplacian smoothing
• monochromatic source time functions, sponge absorbing boundaries, steady-state kernels
• regional mesh cut-off
• various updates (documentation, noise simulations, seismogram down-sampling, non-static compilation)
