متن کاملShear wave splitting and crustal anisotropy at the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, 35 N
[1] Shear wave splitting observed in microearthquake data at the axis of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge near 35 N has a fast polarization direction that is parallel to the trend of the axial valley. The time delays between fast and slow S wave arrivals range from 35 to 180 ms, with an average of 90 ms, and show no relationship with ray path length, source-toreceiver azimuth, or receiver location. The a...
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 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 کاملShear - Wave Splitting in the Appalachians and theUrals : A
Observations of shear-wave splitting in the Northeastern US Appalachians and in the foredeep of the Urals vary signiicantly with the back azimuth and incidence angle of the incoming phase. These variations suggest two or more layers within the upper mantle with diierent anisotropic properties. Synthetic seismograms for simple multilayered anisotropic structures show that shear-wave splitting pa...
