Born scattering of longperiod body waves     

Jörg Dalkolmo  Wolfgang Friederich 《Geophysical Journal International》2000,142(3):876-888

The Born approximation is applied to the modelling of the propagation of deeply turning longperiod body waves through heterogeneities in the lowermost mantle. We use an exact Green's function for a spherically symmetric earth model that also satisfies the appropriate boundary conditions at internal boundaries and the surface of the earth. The scattered displacement field is obtained by a numerical quadrature of the product of the Green's function, the exciting wavefield and structural perturbations. We study three examples: scattering of longperiod P waves from a plume rising from the coremantle boundary (CMB), generation of longperiod precursors to PKIKP by strong, localized scatterers at the CMB, and propagation of corediffracted P waves through largescale heterogeneities in D". The main results are as follows: (1) the signals scattered from a realistic plume are small with relative amplitudes of less than 2 per cent at a period of 20 s, rendering plume detection a fairly difficult task; (2) strong heterogeneities at the CMB of appropriate size may produce observable longperiod precursors to PKIKP in spite of the presence of a diffraction from the PKP B caustic; (3) corediffracted P  waves ( P _diff) are sensitive to structure in D" far off the geometrical ray path and also far beyond the entry and exit points of the ray into and out of D"; sensitivity kernels exhibit ringshaped patterns of alternating sign reminiscent of Fresnel zones; (4) P _diff also shows a nonnegligible sensitivity to shear wave velocity in D"; (5) down to periods of 40 s, the Born approximation is sufficiently accurate to allow waveform modelling of P _diff through largescale heterogeneities in D" of up to 5 per cent.  相似文献

尾波干涉提取经验格林函数作为现今地震学一项重要的研究,其受震源因素的影响值得细致地探讨.本文通过模拟和实际数据的尾波干涉,系统性讨论了震源倾角、方位角和走向以及震中分布对于提取经验格林函数（主要是PKIKP²和PKⅡKP²震相）的影响.我们发现PKIKP²震相的平均信噪比随倾角的增大呈现先增大后减小的变化趋势,并在倾角约为45°时达到最大.基于稳相点分析,本文认为这种变化趋势是因为提取的PKIKP²震相主要贡献来源于近乎径向方向,而倾角为45°的倾滑型断层事件辐射出的P波能量在径向上最大.此外,断层走向对尾波干涉提取Rayleigh面波并无明显影响,而方位角的影响非常显著.当事件近似在台站对的大圆弧上时,尾波干涉才能提取清晰的Rayleigh面波,这与面波稳相区的空间分布一致.对于PKIKP²和PKⅡKP²震相,只有当事件分布与台站对大圆弧近垂直并且事件断层走向与线状台阵近平行时,才能提取清晰的波形.通过计算不同事件和台站分布的震源辐射能量,上述方位角和走向最有利于地核震相的提取.最后,震中分布对尾波干涉提取PKIKP²震相也有一定的影响：当震中与地心连线和PKIKP²震相射线路径之间的锐角夹角越小,并且震中距越小时,提取的地核震相的信噪比越高.  相似文献
