H_soft, soft-sediment surficial layer thickness; V_D, V_T, soft-sediment depth-averaged and time-averaged shear-wave velocity. Frequency from time-averaged shear-wave (f_T) and depth-averaged (f_D) velocity, using the generic formula f = V/4H. Frequency peak from SH transfer function (f_SH), Rayleigh-wave ellipticity (f_E), and horizontal-to-vertical spectral ratio (HVSR) (f_HV).
