متن کاملOn the relationship between azimuthal anisotropy from shear wave splitting and surface wave tomography
[1] Seismic anisotropy provides essential constraints on mantle dynamics and continental evolution. One particular question concerns the depth distribution and coherence of azimuthal anisotropy, which is key for understanding force transmission between the lithosphere and asthenosphere. Here, we reevaluate the degree of coherence between the predicted shear wave splitting derived from tomograph...
متن کاملMaking Reliable Shear-Wave Splitting Measurements
Shear-wave splitting (SWS) analysis using SKS, SKKS, and PKS (hereafter collectively called XKS) phases is one of the most commonly used techniques in structural seismology. In spite of the apparent simplicity in performing SWS measurements, large discrepancies in published SWS parameters (fast direction and splitting time) suggest that a significant portion of splitting parameters has been inc...
متن کاملNull Detection in Shear-Wave Splitting Measurements
Shear-wave splitting measurements are widely used to analyze orientations of anisotropy. We compare two different shear-wave splitting techniques, which are generally assumed to give similar results. Using a synthetic test, which covers the whole backazimuthal range, we find characteristic differences, however, in fast-axis and delay-time estimates near Null directions between the rotation corr...
متن کاملThe non-commutivity of shear wave splitting operators at low frequencies and implications for anisotropy tomography
S U M M A R Y Measurements of the splitting or birefringence of seismic shear waves constitute a powerful and popular technique for characterizing azimuthal anisotropy in the upper mantle. The increasing availability of data sets from dense broad-band seismic arrays has driven interest in the development of techniques for the tomographic inversion of shear wave splitting data and in comparing s...
