Abstract

rfsed is a Python software for receiver function analysis that includes methods for dealing with sediment effects. rfsed presents a new approach for retrieving reliable crustal thickness and Vp/Vs from stations overlying sedimentary layer. The technique derives sediment thickness and Vp/Vs using H-K stacking of the high-frequency receiver function, followed by a waveform fitting approach to retrieve the average crustal thickness and Vp/Vs. Moreover, rfsed contains implementations of the most common receiver function approaches for dealing with the sediment effect with possible synthetic testing capabilities.
