Abstract
The distribution of VS shows a pyroclastic covering with VS increasing from 0.3-0.7Â km/s to 2.1Â km/s. It rests on a lava or carbonate basement, about 5-6Â km thick, with VS increasing from 2.1Â km/s to 3.1Â km/s at about 2Â km of depth and rising to â¼0.6Â km towards the island of Procida. A metamorphic layer is detected at an average depth of 7.7Â km with VS of 3.8-3.9Â km/s, about 5Â km thick, overlying a low velocity layer (VS of 3.5Â km/s) at about 11-12Â km of depth. The VS model along the ISCHIA-MIS path, as average of the models obtained by combining local and regional dispersion data of the two adjoining cells, is well consistent with the other paths. The Moho discontinuity is retrieved at about 23Â km of depth with VS of 4.2Â km/s.
