synthetic traveltimes were calculated with the same offsets as the real ones for the
picked first arrivals. Then, we performed a tomographic inversion using the syn-
thetic traveltimes and the initial model from the last inversion. We constructed
checkerboard patterns by subtracting velocities for the final model from those on
the model having perturbations. Test grids were 10 × 5 km down to 12 km depth,
and 20 × 10 km for depths below 12 km. This means that the
