CONTINUOUS FREE OSCILLATIONS: Atmosphere-Solid Earth Coupling
■ Abstract In 1997, after almost forty years since the initial attempt by Benioff et al (1959), continuous free oscillations of the Earth were discovered. Spheroidal fundamental modes between 2 and 7 millihertz are excited continuously with acceleration amplitudes of about 0.3–0.5 nanogals. The signal is now commonly found in virtually all data recorded by STS-1 type broadband seismometers at q...
متن کاملAn Earth Model Based on Free Oscillations and Body Waves
Several recent inversion studies have clearly indicated the lack of resolving power of the normal mode data set and the possible trade-offs among the various parameters. These studies have also shown that the final model is as dependent on the starting model as on the data set. It is therefore important to incorporate body wave data into any inversion scheme not only to gain resolution but also...
متن کاملEarth Structure from Free Oscillations and Travel Times*
An extensive set of reliable gross Earth data has been inverted to obtain a new estimate of the radial variations of seismic velocities and density in the Earth. The basic data set includes the observed mass and moment of inertia, the average periods of free oscillation (taken mainly from the Dziewonski-Gilbert study), and five new sets of differential travel-time data. The differential travel-...
متن کاملAnelastic spherical dynamos with radially variable electrical conductivity
A series of numerical simulations of the dynamo process operating inside gas giant planets has been performed. We use an anelastic, fully nonlinear, three-dimensional, benchmarked MHD code to evolve the flow, entropy and magnetic field. Our models take into account the varying electrical conductivity, high in the ionised metallic hydrogen region, low in the molecular outer region. Our suite of ...
