Resolution potential of surface wave phase velocity measurements at small arrays     

Thomas Bodin  Valérie Maupin 《Geophysical Journal International》2008,172(2):698-706

The deployment of temporary arrays of broadband seismological stations over dedicated targets is common practice. Measurement of surface wave phase velocity across a small array and its depth-inversion gives us information about the structure below the array which is complementary to the information obtained from body-wave analysis. The question is however: what do we actually measure when the array is much smaller than the wave length, and how does the measured phase velocity relates to the real structure below the array? We quantify this relationship by performing a series of numerical simulations of surface wave propagation in 3-D structures and by measuring the apparent phase velocity across the array on the synthetics. A principal conclusion is that heterogeneities located outside the array can map in a complex way onto the phase velocities measured by the array. In order to minimize this effect, it is necessary to have a large number of events and to average measurements from events well-distributed in backazimuth. A second observation is that the period of the wave has a remarkably small influence on the lateral resolution of the measurement, which is dominantly controlled by the size of the array. We analyse if the artefacts created by heterogeneities can be mistaken for azimuthal variations caused by anisotropy. We also show that if the amplitude of the surface waves can be measured precisely enough, phase velocities can be corrected and the artefacts which occur due to reflections and diffractions in 3-D structures greatly reduced.  相似文献

Intrinsic and scattering attenuation in western India from aftershocks of the 26 January, 2001 Kachchh earthquake   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

176 vertical-component, short period observations from aftershocks of the M_w 7.7, 26 January, 2001 Kachchh earthquake are used to estimate seismic wave attenuation in western India using uniform and two layer models. The magnitudes (M_w) of the earthquakes are less than 4.5, with depths less than 46 km and hypocentral distances up to 110 km. The studied frequencies are between 1 and 30 Hz. Two seismic wave attenuation factors, intrinsic absorption (Q_i^− 1) and scattering attenuation (Q_s^− 1) are estimated using the Multiple Lapse Time Window method which compares time integrated seismic wave energies with synthetic coda wave envelopes for a multiple isotropic scattering model. We first assume spatial uniformity of Q_i^− 1, Q_s^− 1 and S wave velocity (β). A second approach extends the multiple scattering hypothesis to media consisting of several layers characterized by vertically varying scattering coefficient (g), intrinsic absorption strength (h), density of the media (ρ) and shear wave velocity structure. The predicted coda envelopes are computed using Monte Carlo simulation. Results show that, under the assumption of spatial uniformity, scattering attenuation is greater than intrinsic absorption only for the lowest frequency band (1 to 2 Hz), whereas intrinsic absorption is predominant in the attenuation process at higher frequencies (2 to 30 Hz). The values of Q obtained range from Q_t = 118, Q_i = 246 and Q_s = 227 at 1.5 Hz to Q_t ≈ 4000, Q_i ≈ 4600 and Q_s ≈ 33,300 at 28 Hz center frequencies, being Q_t^− 1 a measure of total attenuation. Results also show that Q_i^− 1, Q_s^− 1 and Q_t^− 1 decrease proportional to f^−ν. Two rates of decay are clearly observed for the low (1 to 6 Hz) and high (6 to 30 Hz) frequency ranges. Values of ν are estimated as 2.07 ± 0.05 and 0.44 ± 0.09 for total attenuation, 1.52 ± 0.21 and 0.48 ± 0.09 for intrinsic absorption and 3.63 ± 0.07 and 0.06 ± 0.08 for scattering attenuation for the low and high frequency ranges, respectively. Despite the lower resolution in deriving the attenuation parameters for a two layered crust, we find that scattering attenuation is comparable to or smaller than the intrinsic absorption in the crust whereas intrinsic absorption dominates in the mantle. Also, for a crustal layer of thickness 42 km, intrinsic absorption and scattering estimates in the crust are lower and greater than those of the mantle, respectively.  相似文献   

The heterogeneous upper mantle low velocity zone   总被引：2，自引：1，他引：2  

Hans Thybo 《Tectonophysics》2006,416(1-4):53

The upper mantle low velocity zone (LVZ) is a depth interval with slightly reduced seismic velocity compared to the surrounding depth intervals. The zone is present below a relatively constant depth of 100 km in most continental parts of the world, both in cratonic areas with high average velocity and tectonically active areas with low average velocity. Evidence for the low velocity zone arises from controlled and natural source seismology, including studies of surface waves and of primary and multiple reflections of body waves from the bounding interfaces, calculations of receiver functions, and absolute velocity tomography. The available data indicates a more pronounced reduction in seismic velocity and Q-value for S-waves than P-waves as well as high electrical conductivity in the LVZ. Seismic waves are strongly scattered by the zone, which demonstrates the existence of small-scale heterogeneity. The depth to the base of the LVZ is systematically shallower in cold, stable cratonic areas than in hot, active regions of the world. Because of its global occurrence below a relative constant depth of 100 km, the LVZ cannot be explained by metamorphic or compositional variation and rheological changes. Calculated upper mantle temperatures indicate that the rocks are close to the solidus in an interval with variable thickness below 100 km depth, provided that the rocks contain water and carbon dioxide. The presence of, even small amounts of such fluids in the mantle rocks will lower the solidus by several hundred degrees and introduce a characteristic kink on the solidus curve around 80–100 km depth. The seismic velocities and Q-values are significantly reduced of rocks, which are close to the solidus or contain small amounts of partial melt. Hence, the LVZ may be explained by upper mantle temperatures being close to the solidus in a depth interval below 100 km. Assuming that the rocks contain only limited amounts of fluids, this mechanism may explain the low velocities, Q-values, and resistivity, as well as the intrinsic scattering, and the characteristic variation in thickness of the low velocity zone.  相似文献   

A matched-filter approach to wave migration   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Carl Leuschen  Richard Plumb   《Journal of Applied Geophysics》2000,43(2-4)

Wave migration is a technique in which the reflectivity of the Earth is interpreted by extrapolating the fields measured on the surface into the ground. The motivation of this paper is to develop a generalized imaging algorithm based on a matched-filter that shows a mathematical connection between currently used migration techniques. The filter is determined by estimating the received signal when a specific test target exists in the ground. To keep the method general, a point scatterer is used as this target, while distributed objects are modeled without changing the filter characteristics by a collection of independent point scatterers. Also, the specific forms of the Green's functions, which describe wave propagation in the ground, are not included in the formation of this approach leaving more freedom in the implementation. When the filter is applied to measured data of a monostatic survey, the resulting method becomes a forward scattering problem in which these data become time-reversed current sources. Next, specific forward scattering techniques are applied to this matched-filter approach and the resulting methods are compared to traditional migration techniques. In doing so, we find that the general form of most migration techniques can be shown using a matched-filter, while the major differences lie in the actual interpretation of the wave propagation that is used to implement the filter. The similarities of the matched-filter-based approaches to traditional techniques are used to show a connection and general overview of wave migration. Finally, these methods are applied to data collected over pipes buried in sand.  相似文献
