A regional model of the 3-D variation in seismic P -wave velocity structure in the crust of NW Europe has been compiled from wide-angle reflection/refraction profiles. Along each 2-D profile a velocity–depth function has been digitised at 5 km intervals. These 1-D velocity functions were mapped into three dimensions using ordinary kriging with weights determined to minimise the difference between digitised and interpolated values. An analysis of variograms of the digitised data suggested a radial isotropic weighting scheme was most appropriate. Horizontal dimensions of the model cells are optimised at 40 × 40 km and the vertical dimension at 1 km. The resulting model provides a higher resolution image of the 3-D variation in seismic velocity structure of the UK, Ireland and surrounding areas than existing models. The construction of the model through kriging allows the uncertainty in the velocity structure to be assessed. This uncertainty indicates the high density of data required to confidently interpolate the crustal velocity structure, and shows that for this region the velocity is poorly constrained for large areas away from the input data.  相似文献   

Slowness-backazimuth weighted migration: A new array approach to a high-resolution image     

Tadashi Kito  reas Rietbrock  Christine Thomas 《Geophysical Journal International》2007,169(3):1201-1209

We have developed a new array method combining conventional migration with a slowness-backazimuth deviation weighting scheme. All seismic traces are shifted based on the theoretical traveltime of the scattered wave from specific gridpoints in a 3-D volume. Observed slowness and backazimuth are calculated for each raypath and compared with theoretical values in order to estimate slowness and backazimuth deviations. Subsequently, stacked energy calculated by a conventional migration method is weighted by the slowness and backazimuth deviations to suppress any arrival energy whose slowness and backazimuth are inconsistent with the expected theoretical values. This new method was applied to two P- wave data sets which comprise (1) underside reflections at the 410 and 660 km mantle discontinuities and (2) D" reflections as well as their corresponding synthetic data sets. The results show that the weighting scheme dramatically increases the resolution of the migrated images and enables us to obtain well-constrained, focused images, making upper-mantle discontinuities and D" reflections more distinct by reducing their surrounding energy.  相似文献   

A new analytical solution estimating the flexural rigidity in the Central Andes     

S. Wienecke  †  C. Braitenberg  H.-J. Götze 《Geophysical Journal International》2007,169(3):789-794

We present a new 2-D analytical solution of the fourth-order differential equation, which describes the flexure of a thin elastic plate.
The new analytical solution allows the differential equation for an elastic plate to be solved for any irregular shaped topography with a high spatial resolution. We apply the new method to the Central Andes. The flexural rigidity distribution calculated by this technique correlates well with tectonic units and the location of fault zones, for example, the Central Andean Gravity High correlates with the presence of a rigid, high-density body.  相似文献

New insights into the P- and S-wave velocity structure of the D" discontinuity beneath the Cocos plate     

Tadashi Kito  Sebastian Rost  Christine Thomas  Edward J. Garnero 《Geophysical Journal International》2007,169(2):631-645

Broad-band P - and S -waves from earthquakes in South America recorded at Californian network stations are analysed to image lateral variations of the D"-discontinuity beneath the Cocos plate. We apply two array processing methods to the data set: a simplified migration method to the P -wave data set and a double-array method to both the P - and S -wave data sets, allowing us to compare results from the two methods. The double-array method images a dipping reflector at a depth range from 2650 to 2700 km in the southern part of the study area. We observe a step-like topography of 100 km to a shallower reflector at about 2600 km depth to the north, as well as evidence for a second (deeper) reflector at a depth range from 2700 to 2750 km in the north. Results from the simplified migration agree well with those from the double-array method, similarly locating a large step in reflector depth in a similar location (about 2650 km depth in the south and about 2550 km in the north) as well as the additional deeper reflector at the depth of about 2750 km in the north. Waveform modelling of the reflected waves from both methods suggests a positive velocity contrast for S waves, but a negative velocity contrast for P waves for the upper reflector in agreement with predictions from mineral physical calculations for a post-perovskite phase transition. The data also show some evidence for the existence of another deeper reflector that could indicate a double intersection of the geotherm with the post-perovskite stability field, that is, the back-transformation of post-perovskite to perovskite close to the core–mantle boundary.  相似文献

地幔主要矿物橄榄石［(Mg089Fe011)2SiO4］的相变与深源地震的解释以及俯冲带和周围地幔的相互作用相关. 其中，形核率和长大率是刻画其相变动力学的两个重要参数. 因为实验技术的原因，目前人们还没有基于实验数据给出橄榄石的形核率. 本文首先通过对挤碰物理图像的分析，对边界形核情形的相变动力学理论中表征挤碰程度的无量纲参数进行了修正. 在此基础上，根据已有的实验资料，首次对橄榄石相变的形核率进行了估计. 通过对形核率数据的拟合，可以得到形核率参数K0和γ1/3. 得到两个形核率参数的变化范围分别为K0=55×1021～87×1027s-1·m-2·K-1，γ1/3=0～020 J·m-2，最佳拟合值为：K0=69×1024s-1·m-2·K-1，γ1/3=016 J·m-2.  相似文献
