Global Love wave overtone measurements
[1] Love wave phase velocities for fundamental and higher modes are difficult to measure because the different modes cannot easily be separated. Following Yoshizawa and Kennett (2002), we generate suites of path specific onedimensional shear wave velocity profiles using the Neighbourhood Algorithm of Sambridge (1999a). From this family of O(10) models both fundamental and higher mode phase velo...
متن کاملRayleigh-wave tomography at Coronation Field, Canada: The topography effect
W reflection seismology, surface waves or ground roll, are often considered a form of unwanted sourcegenerated noise. Unlike body waves, surface waves propagate exclusively in the lateral direction and are virtually insensitive to structure deeper than one wavelength. For a nominal frequency of 5 Hz and phase velocity of 500 m/s, this means that a surface wave of the Rayleigh or Love type only ...
متن کاملSensitivity of Near-Surface Shear-Wave Velocity Determination from Rayleigh and Love Waves
Rayleigh and Love waves recorded on seismic-shot gathers can be used to determine the thickness and shear-wave velocity of shallow subsurface layers. After the data are transformed into the k-f domain, the dispersion curve for each of the phases can be picked from maxima on the contour plot. This dispersion curve is then inverted for the velocities and depths. Different frequencies in the dispe...
متن کاملComparison of Rayleigh wave dispersion relations from three surface wave measurements in a complex-layered system
Three widely-available surface wave measurement techniques, including two active-source methods, the Spectral Analysis of Surface Waves (SASW) method and the Multi-channel Analysis of Surface Waves (MASW) method, and one passive-source method, the Refraction Microtremor (ReMi) method, were applied at a complex-layered site. Dispersion relations were compared to one another. Outcomes from the MA...
متن کاملRayleigh-wave dispersion reveals crust-mantle decoupling beneath eastern Tibet
The Tibetan Plateau results from the collision of the Indian and Eurasian Plates during the Cenozoic, which produced at least 2,000 km of convergence. Its tectonics is dominated by an eastward extrusion of crustal material that has been explained by models implying either a mechanical decoupling between the crust and the lithosphere, or lithospheric deformation. Discriminating between these end...
