Output Directory Structure
After running an inversion, QtomoMCMC generates an output directory named after the input YAML file (e.g., TongaLau_Spherical/). Below is an overview of its structure and contents:
Top-Level Contents
| Item | Description |
|---|---|
inp.yml |
A copy of the input configuration file used for this run. |
data/ |
Preprocessed t*, raypath, and trace data used internally during inversion. |
figures/ |
All model visualization outputs, separated into subfolders by type. |
models/ |
Raw MCMC chain outputs saved in .jld format. |
TongaAttenData/ |
(Optional) Directory for storing interpolated models for plotting in GMT. |
data/
Only needs to run prepare_data.jl once to pre-process the data.
Contains internal representations of the inputs used for inversion:
p_tstar.dat,raypaths.dat– input files reformatted for internal useraypaths.jld,traces.jld– binary storage of ray and data arrays in Julia's JLD format
figures/
⚠️ Only used to visualize figures directly in Julia for quick inspection and diagnostics. For publication-quality figures, it is recommended to export the results and use GMT (Generic Mapping Tools).
| Folder | Description |
|---|---|
llh/ |
Likelihood evolution per iteration across chains |
nCells/ |
Number of Voronoi cells per model over iterations |
phi/ |
Model misfit evolution per iteration across chains |
xyMean/, xzMean/ |
Mean model in horizontal (xy) and vertical (xz) cross sections |
xyUncertainty/, xzUncertainty/ |
Standard deviation (σ) maps representing model uncertainty |
xyMasked/, xzMasked/ |
Mean models masked by standard deviation |
xyContour/, xzContour/ |
Contour plots of attenuation strength |
xyVoronoi_*/ |
Individual Voronoi realizations plotted at selected depths (e.g., 50, 100, 300, 500 km) |
xzVoronoi_-20/ |
Voronoi realizations at a specific y-slice (e.g., y = -20 km) |
models/
MCMC model chain outputs saved as .jld files.
e.g.,
chain1_iter1000_100%.jld= 1000 iterations of chain 1, all models saved.
