Surface-wave sensitivity to 3-D anelasticity
S U M M A R Y Lateral variations in mantle anelasticity (Q) are important for understanding the Earth’s thermal and chemical structure in the mantle. In the past decades, preliminary global 3-D tomographic Q models have been developed based upon the assumption that traveltime (phase delay) anomalies are due to the Earth’s elastic (velocity) structure whereas amplitude anomalies are dominated by...
متن کاملSurface-wave Attenuation and Crustal Anelasticity in Central North America By
The southeastern Missouri earthquake of October 21, 1965 generated fundamentaland higher-mode Love and Rayleigh waves which were recorded at numerous North American stations. Love-wave amplitude radiation patterns were determined and found to be consistent with theoretical patterns predicted by a fault-plane solution previously inferred from Rayleigh-wave data. The radiation patterns were used ...
متن کاملWave Propagation in 3 - D
The elastic wave equation in spherical coordinates is solved on a spherical section by a Chebyshev spectral method. In the presented algorithm the singularities in the governing equations are avoided by centering the physical domain around the equator. The highly accurate pseudo-spectral (PS) derivative operators reduce the required grid size compared to nite-diierence (FD) algorithms. The non-...
متن کاملRobust 3 D Surface
Estimation of local surface geometry (i.e. principle frame and principle quadric) is discussed. It is shown that surface tting methods are more robust that-nite diierence based approaches for a number of reasons. The local surface geometry is used to segment the surfaces into regions corresponding to smooth patches, separated by visibility boundaries, occluding contours, and ridges. Points with...
متن کاملSegmentation of 3 D Surface
Methods are presented for segmenting dense 3D surface point data into smooth surface patches. The smooth patches are further subdivided into patches of particular surface types. These highly structured patches provide useful cues for identifying objects or locating features of an object.
