This paper deals with Rayleigh–Schuster’s hodographs, intended for the detailed investigation of changes in the phase of quasiperiodic signals in time series. The hodographs are also known as the phasor-walkout method. A procedure of conditional vector normalization is proposed: it takes into account the vector amplitude for each period under consideration. The procedure considerably improves the robustness and stability of the hodograph approach to changes in the character of the processed data distributions and to various defects in the data. For example, when analyzing the earthquake catalog, the procedure strongly diminishes the influence of the event clustering caused, in particular, by swarms of earthquakes with comparable magnitude and the aftershock sequences of strong earthquakes. At the first stage, we calculate the vector sums (resulting vectors) for each period under investigation throughout the time series duration. For example, investigating diurnal periodicity of earthquakes, we first calculate the resulting vectors for each day of the observation. The further analysis of resulting vectors for each period throughout the time series duration can be performed with different procedures. We compare three procedures for normalization of the obtained resulting vectors, which are as follows: (1) th traditional one, preserving the real signal amplitude; (2) that with reduction of the obtained resulting vectors to the unit vector (phasor); and (3) that with conditional vector normalization, taking into account the amplitude of resulting vectors for each period throughout the time series duration. The third procedure diminishes the possible instability in some special distributions of the investigated data when the resulting vector for a period is close to zero. The procedures are compared using model signals and samples from real earthquake catalogs. All the procedures used give close results when processing random time series. 相似文献

宽频带地震观测数据中有效信号和干扰噪声经常发生混频效应,常规的频率域滤波方法很难将二者分离.地震波信号属于时变非平稳信号,时频分析方法能够同时得到地震波信号随着时间和频率变化的振幅和相位特征,S变换是其中较为高效的时频分析工具之一.本文以S变换为例,提出了基于相位叠加的时频域相位滤波方法.与传统叠加方法相比,相位叠加方法对强振幅不敏感,对波形一致性相当敏感,更加利于有效弱信号信息的检测.时频域相位滤波方法滤除与有效信号不相干的背景噪声,保留了相位一致的有效信号成分,显著提高了信噪比.运用理论合成的远震接收函数数据和实际的宽频带地震观测数据检验结果显示该方法较传统的带通滤波方法相比,即使在信噪较低且混频严重条件下,时频域相位滤波方法的滤波效果依然很明显,有助于识别能量较弱的有效信号. 相似文献

Low‐frequency passive seismic experiments utilizing arrays of 3‐component broadband seismometers were conducted over two sites in the emirate of Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates. The experiments were conducted in the vicinity of a producing oilfield and around a dry exploration well to better understand the characteristics and origins of microtremor signals (1–6 Hz), which had been reported as occurring exclusively above several hydrocarbon reservoirs in the region. The results of the experiments revealed that a strong correlation exists between the recorded ambient noise and observed meteorological and anthropogenic noises. In the frequency range of 0.15–0.4 Hz, the dominant feature is a double‐frequency microseism peak generated by the non‐linear interactions of storm induced surface waves in the Arabian Sea. We observed that the double‐frequency microseism displays a high variability in spectral amplitude, with the strongest amplitude occurring when Cyclone Gonu was battering the eastern coast of Oman; this noise was present at both sites and so is not a hydrocarbon indicator. Moreover, this study found that very strong microtremor signals in the frequency range of 2–3 Hz were present in all of the locations surveyed, both within and outside of the reservoir boundary and surrounding the dry exploration well. This microtremor signal has no clear correlation with the microseism signals but significant variations in the characteristics of the signals were observed between daytime and nighttime recording periods that clearly correlate with human activity. High‐resolution frequency‐wavenumber (f‐k) spectral analyses were performed on the recorded data to determine apparent velocities and azimuths of the wavefronts for the microseism and microtremor events. The f‐k analyses confirmed that the double‐frequency microseism originates from wave activity in the Arabian Sea, while the microtremor events have an azimuth pointing towards the nearest motorways, indicating that they are probably being excited by traffic noise. Results drawn from particle motion studies confirm these observations. The vertical‐to‐horizontal spectral ratios of the data acquired in both experiments show peaks around 2.5–3 Hz with no dependence on the presence or absence of subsurface hydrocarbons. Therefore, this method should not be used as a direct hydrocarbon indicator in these environments. Furthermore, the analyses provide no direct evidence to indicate that earthquakes are capable of stimulating the hydrocarbon reservoir in a way that could modify the spectral amplitude of the microtremor signal. 相似文献

Electromagnetic fields in a non-uniform steel-cased borehole 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
Since most oil wells are cased in steel, electromagnetic (EM) signals undergo severe attenuation as they diffuse across the casing. This paper examines an effect of non‐uniform casing properties on EM fields measured in a steel‐cased well embedded in a layered formation. We use a finite‐element method for computing secondary azimuthal electric fields in a cylindrically symmetric model, and analytically obtain primary fields for a homogeneous casing in a homogeneous whole space. Although steel casing largely masks EM signals induced into a layered formation, the induced signal is more pronounced in phase than in amplitude. The effect of casing non‐uniformity is quite large in measured fields but is highly localized. When electrical conductivity varies rapidly in the casing wall, the resulting EM fields also vary rapidly. A cross‐correlation function of these variations has strong peaks at two points, the interval between them being equal to the source–receiver distance. The high‐frequency coherent noise event caused by the non‐uniform casing can be greatly suppressed by low‐pass filtering to enhance EM signals indicating formation conductivity. 相似文献

Oscillatory pumping tests—in which flow is varied in a periodic fashion—provide a method for understanding aquifer heterogeneity that is complementary to strategies such as slug testing and constant‐rate pumping tests. During oscillatory testing, pressure data collected at non‐pumping wells can be processed to extract metrics, such as signal amplitude and phase lag, from a time series. These metrics are robust against common sensor problems (including drift and noise) and have been shown to provide information about aquifer heterogeneity. Field implementations of oscillatory pumping tests for characterization, however, are not common and thus there are few guidelines for their design and implementation. Here, we use available analytical solutions from the literature to develop design guidelines for oscillatory pumping tests, while considering practical field constraints. We present two key analytical results for design and analysis of oscillatory pumping tests. First, we provide methods for choosing testing frequencies and flow rates which maximize the signal amplitude that can be expected at a distance from an oscillating pumping well, given design constraints such as maximum/minimum oscillator frequency and maximum volume cycled. Preliminary data from field testing helps to validate the methodology. Second, we develop a semi‐analytical method for computing the sensitivity of oscillatory signals to spatially distributed aquifer flow parameters. This method can be quickly applied to understand the “sensed” extent of an aquifer at a given testing frequency. Both results can be applied given only bulk aquifer parameter estimates, and can help to optimize design of oscillatory pumping test campaigns. 相似文献

Dynamic characteristics of structures — viz. natural frequencies, damping ratios, and mode shapes — are central to earthquake‐resistant design. These values identified from field measurements are useful for model validation and health‐monitoring. Most system identification methods require input excitations motions to be measured and the structural response; however, the true input motions are seldom recordable. For example, when soil–structure interaction effects are non‐negligible, neither the free‐field motions nor the recorded responses of the foundations may be assumed as ‘input’. Even in the absence of soil–structure interaction, in many instances, the foundation responses are not recorded (or are recorded with a low signal‐to‐noise ratio). Unfortunately, existing output‐only methods are limited to free vibration data, or weak stationary ambient excitations. However, it is well‐known that the dynamic characteristics of most civil structures are amplitude‐dependent; thus, parameters identified from low‐amplitude responses do not match well with those from strong excitations, which arguably are more pertinent to seismic design. In this study, we present a new identification method through which a structure's dynamic characteristics can be extracted using only seismic response (output) signals. In this method, first, the response signals’ spatial time‐frequency distributions are used for blindly identifying the classical mode shapes and the modal coordinate signals. Second, cross‐relations among the modal coordinates are employed to determine the system's natural frequencies and damping ratios on the premise of linear behavior for the system. We use simulated (but realistic) data to verify the method, and also apply it to a real‐life data set to demonstrate its utility. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

基于高精度谱元法(SEM),以半空间中椭球形沉积盆地为例,研究了点震源作用下三维沉积盆地的地震响应。研究结果表明:沉积盆地对地震动幅值有显著的放大效应,对地震持时有明显的增长效应,地震动空间分布规律受控于震源频率和近断层倾角等因素。主要体现为以下几点:(1)震源函数主频率较高时,沉积盆地内部出现多个波峰波谷,局部聚焦增强,放大效应显著,如震源频率为2Hz时在沉积盆地中心位置的加速度峰值可达1Hz时的5.6倍;(2)随着断层倾角的增大,断层上盘效应逐渐减弱,地表加速度的峰值在逐渐减小,30°倾角断层沉积盆地中心的加速度达1.96m/s^2,是90°倾角断层加速度值的5.2倍;(3)震源频率和断层倾角对位移的影响没有对加速度的显著。 相似文献

分析了5次远强震前河北省昌黎台、兴济台记录到的电场异常,发现该异常主要集中在震前2个月左右的时段内, 具有很好的短临预报意义. 震前电场呈现不同的异常特征,但与固体地球潮汐波变化关系密切,如半日、半月等潮汐波周期信号增强,引起电场变化幅度增大;或本该正常记录到的潮汐变化幅度突然减小或消失;以及高频信号增多并伴有跃变现象. 分析异常产生机理认为,强震前的这种异常现象是震源区临震孕育过程中岩石弱化产生的电场异常,经自由空间或地壳传播到达地电台站后,与台站记录的电场潮汐波相叠加产生潮汐波增强或减弱现象. 高频异常可能与台站下方岩石孔隙度、渗透率等介质性质的改变有关,反映了强震的远场动态效应. 相似文献

本文采用滇西地震预报实验场基地团山砂岩浸泡一个月后进行真三轴压缩试验。结果发现:最小主应力轴方向和中间主应力轴方向Q值都有异常峰值,且变化不同。它们分别在破裂应力的40％—70％和50％—70％之间。而异常峰值后,又都在一段正常值,破后又都上升。从谱振幅随压力的变化看出,异常峰值的出现是由于高频成份的增加大于低频成份。峰值后的正常值出现是由于低频成份的增加及高频成份减小所致。而破后Q的上升则是由于低频振幅减小更多所致。声发射率也有峰值—相对平静——第二峰值—缓裂特征。 相似文献

method is that the frequencies radiated by the vibrators can be matched to the transmission response of the subsurface involved. By choosing the right frequency range, the highest possible amplitude and most favourable form may be given to the reflection signals. In a reflection correlogram, individual signals cannot be considered in isolation. Signals of different origin are interfering with one another. They very often have different amplitudes, so that it may be desirable in many cases to filter out events of certain apparent velocity. With the VIBROSEIS method this may be achieved quite simply. All frequencies of the noise signal are uniformly suppressed. The advantage is that noise signals, e.g. refraction signals, which cannot be sufficiently attenuated by wavelength filtering, may be completely eliminated by this velocity filtering without affecting the bandwith of the desired signal. The total dynamic range of the tape recording can be used for the registration of wanted events. To perform this kind of filtering several vibrators are necessary in the field; each of them is controlled by an individual signal. There is an unavoidable error of static and dynamic corrections which causes the results of reflection measurements to deteriorate when using multiple coverage. High frequency components especially are seriously affected by destructive interference. This difficulty can be avoided by using a VIBROSEIS signal with high frequency component amplitudes supported. For the probability of error of corrections a normal distribution is assumed. A smoothed amplitude characteristic may be achieved after stacking. The amplitude characteristic of seismic devices is commonly reduced to about 100 cps bandwidth. For further improvement of resolution of VIBROSEIS correlograms it is necessary to apply special filtering methods. This is of particular interest when any kind of gain control is used to display weak events more clearly. With increasing amplification the sidelobes of the strong signals may reach the size of the weak events. In order to eliminate this effect, the amplitude characteristic of the VIBROSEIS signal is adjusted for optimum suppression of side-lobes. 相似文献

This paper presents an application of the normalized surface magnetic charge (NSMC) model to discriminate objects of interest, such as unexploded ordnance (UXO), from innocuous items in cases when UXO electromagnetic induction (EMI) responses are contaminated by signals from other objects. Over the entire EMI spectrum considered here (tens of Hertz up to several hundreds of kHz), the scattered magnetic field outside the object can be produced mathematically by equivalent magnetic charges. The amplitudes of these charges are determined from measurement data and normalized by the excitation field. The model takes into account the scatterer's heterogeneity and near- and far-field effects. For classification algorithms, the frequency spectrum of the total NSMC is proposed and investigated as a discriminant. The NSMC is combined with the differential evolution (DE) algorithm in a two-step inversion procedure. To illustrate the applicability of the DE–NSMC algorithm, blind test data are processed and analyzed for cases in which signals from nearby objects frequently overlap. The method was highly successful in distinguishing UXO from accompanying clutter. 相似文献

Introduction Geoelectrical field is a kind of intrinsic geophysical field of the earth, affected by kinds of current systems in outer space and electric properties of media underground, so it carries abundant interior information of the earth.

Matching signals have previously been identified from about eighty repeating deep moonquake sources. These moonquakes clearly display tidal periodicities in their histories of origin times and signal amplitudes; they are presumably triggered by the solid-body tide in the moon, raised primarily by the earth. The A1 hypocentre has been the most active and has also produced seismograms with signals of reversed polarity. In an attempt to deduce focal mechanisms for these events, we calculated various tidal stress functions at the Al hypocentre using a homogeneous moon model, and correlated them with the origin times of events. No good correlation was found, either for tidal stress peaks of consistent polarity, or for tidal stress peaks of opposite polarity at the times of “inverted” events. This could be due to an inaccurate moon model, but it has also been noted that the relative amplitudes of signals recorded at different seismic stations vary between events from the same hypocentre. Earthquake swarms often contain events with fault-plane solutions in very different orientations. A similar variation between events from each deep moonquake hypocentre would explain the different amplitude ratios and also the “inverted” events. 相似文献

频率为3~30 kHz的甚低频（VLF,Very Low Frequency）电磁波具有波长长、传播距离远的特点,能够沿地面-低电离层波导进行传播,在通信、导航等许多领域都被广泛应用.基于波导模理论的长波传播模型（LWPC,Long-Wavelength Propagation Capability）能够用于计算甚低频波的传播路径及幅度,进而研究耀斑、磁暴、地震等事件对电离层的扰动.本文利用国际电离层参考模型（IRI,International Reference Ionosphere）对LWPC中电子密度和碰撞频率进行改进,并将模拟结果与武汉大学VLF接收机实际观测到的NWC （North West Cape）台站信号幅度进行比较分析,结果表明改进后LWPC模型得到的幅度及变化趋势与实际值更加接近.LWPC模型给出的电子密度与IRI模型得到的电子密度在日间基本一致,但是在夜间存在差异,造成夜间部分区域NWC台站信号幅度的差异性,验证了电离层电子密度对于VLF信号传播具有的重要影响.传播路径上的晨昏变化也可以引起VLF信号幅度分布的突变,在日出和日落时间段内存在明显的过渡区域.基于IRI模型的LWPC,改善了VLF电波传播过程的预测分析效果,提供了一种长波导航通信质量的评估方法. 相似文献

Numerical study of the variations of magnetic resonance signals caused by surface slope 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
When performing forward modelling and inversion of Magnetic Resonance Sounding (MRS) data, the water-content distribution is typically assumed to be horizontal (1D case). This assumption is fully justified because MRS is often used for characterizing continuous aquifers in a nearly flat environment. However, MRS can also be used in areas with sharp topographical variations. Following a review of the standard MRS equations when using a coincident transmitter/receiver loop, the mathematical terms potentially affected by tilting of the loop are discussed. We present the results of a numerical modelling exercise, studying a case where the surface is not horizontal and the loop cannot be considered to be parallel to the top of the aquifer. This shows that maximum variations in the MRS-signal amplitude are caused mainly by north- or south-dipping slopes. Slope effects depend on the loop size (a larger loop produces a larger error) especially in the presence of shallow water. With a geomagnetic-field inclination of 65° and a slope angle ≤ 10°, the topography causes a maximum variation in amplitude of less than 10%. Near magnetic poles and equator, the slope effect is lower and undetectable in most cases. It was found that within a 10% range of variation in the amplitude, errors introduced into inversions are within the typical uncertainty for MRS inversion and hence no topographic corrections are necessary. Thus, a significant effect from non-horizontal topography might be expected only when data uncertainty is lower than the slope effect (the slope effect is lower than equivalence when data quality is poor). Today, most field data sets are inverted using the modulus of the MRS signal, but some new developments consider the complex signal (both modulus and phase). However, inversion of complex MRS signals, which would provide a higher sensitivity to groundwater distribution, may be affected by slope effect. Thus, the slope orientation and dip angle should be accurately measured in the field when the phase of MRS signals is inverted too. 相似文献
