The theory of coda wave interferometry
Coda waves are sensitive to changes in the subsurface because the strong scattering that generates these waves causes coda waves to repeatedly sample a limited region of space. Coda wave interferometry is a technique that exploits this sensitivity to estimate weak changes in the medium from a comparison of the coda waves before and after the perturbation. Here I present the general theory of co...
متن کاملGlobal variation of body‐wave attenuation in the upper mantle from teleseismic P wave and S wave spectra
[1] We constrain the spatial variation of P‐wave (tP*) and S‐wave (tS*) attenuation by inverting 190,000 teleseismic P‐ and S‐wave spectra up to 0.8 Hz. These spectra are derived from 250 deep earthquakes recorded at 880 broadband global and regional network stations. The variance and ratios of tP* and tS* values are consistent with PREM’s upper mantle velocity and Q structures and conventional...
متن کاملThe lack of equipartitioning in global body wave coda
Correlation of the coda of large earthquakes can be used to retrieve body waves at teleseismic distances. This retrieval depends on waves propagating with equal energy in all directions (equipartitioning). We carry out a beamforming analysis of body waves at periods of 10 and 40 s recorded at USArray and show that the late coda, up to 10 h after the Okhotsk earthquake, is dominated by waves pro...
متن کاملScattering of linear long-wave tsunamis due to randomly fluctuating sea-bottom topography: coda excitation and scattering attenuation
S U M M A R Y The scattering coefficient is one of the most fundamental parameters by which to quantify the scattering intensity for waves as a function of scattering angle and wave frequency. This study presents a derivation of the scattering coefficient for linear long-wave tsunami equations in randomly fluctuating sea-bottom topography using the first-order Born approximation. The scattering...
متن کاملModeling and Simulation of Spatial and Temporal Precipitation Patterns in Coastal Mountainous Regions – The Case of Northwestern Colombia
Regional and local weather patterns are strongly affected by macroclimatic phenomena. In tropical South America, hydroclimatological behavior is affected by such factors as the meridional oscillation of the Intertropical Convergence Zone, the dynamics of Pacific and Atlantic oceans, the Amazon jungle, and the orographic barriers of the Andes mountains. Interactions between these factors at diff...
