  abstract = {{T}he main scope of the {I}nter{PACIFIC} ({I}ntercomparison of methods for site parameter and velocity profile characterization) project is to assess the reliability of in-hole and surface-wave methods, used for estimating shear wave velocity. {T}hree test-sites with different subsurface conditions were chosen: a soft soil, a stiff soil and a rock outcrop. {T}his paper reports the surface-wave methods results. {S}pecifically 14 teams of expert users analysed the same experimental surface-wave datasets, consisting of both passive and active data. {E}ach team adopted their own strategy to retrieve the dispersion curve and the shear-wave velocity profile at each site. {D}espite different approaches, the dispersion curves are quite in agreement with each other. {C}onversely, the shear-wave velocity profiles show a certain variability that increases in correspondence of major stratigraphic interfaces. {T}his larger variability is mainly due to non-uniqueness of the solution and lateral variability. {A}s expected, the observed variability in {V}-s,{V}-30 estimatesis small, as solution non-uniqueness plays a limited role.},
