Is Ambient Noise Tomography Across Ocean Basins Possible?
[1] Based on year-long cross-correlations of broad-band seismic records obtained at sixty-six stations within or adjacent to the Pacific Basin, we show that broad-band ambient noise is observed to propagate coherently between island stations and between island and continent stations. For many station pairs, high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) fundamental mode Rayleigh wave Green functions are obse...
متن کاملTowards improving ambient noise tomography using simultaneously curvelet denoising filters and SEM simulations of seismic ambient noise
The aim of this article is to investigate a possible way to improve ambient noise tomography by expanding the data base of useful cross-correlation measurements. We show that the curvelet transform makes it possible to compute synthetic noise correlations by simulating directly seismic ambient noise using the spectral element method. These synthetic correlations can in turn be used to identify ...
متن کاملContinental scale shear wave splitting analysis: Investigation of seismic anisotropy underneath the Australian continent
The structure of the upper mantle beneath the Australian continent is investigated using teleseismic shear wave splitting to extract seismic anisotropy. Measurements have been performed on data recorded at 190 sites with portable broadband seismic recorders, spanning almost the entire surface of the continent since 1992. The average time span of the various deployments, primarily designed for s...
متن کاملModels of Mantle Convection Incorporating Plate Tectonics: The Australian Region since the Cretaceous
We propose that the anomalous Cretaceous vertical motion of Australia and distinctive geochemistry and geophysics of the Australian-Antarctic Discordance (AAD) were caused by a subducted slab which migrated beneath the continent during the Cretaceous, stalled within the mantle transition zone, and is presently being drawn up by the Southeast Indian Ridge. During the Early Cretaceous the eastern...
متن کاملContrasts in mantle structure beneath Australia: relation to Tasman Lines?
Surface-wave tomography for the Australian region, using data mostly from portable seismic recorders, reveals a very strong contrast in seismic shear-wave speed beneath central and western Australia and the east of the continent. Shear-wave speeds faster than the continental average extend to at least 200 km depth in the cratonic zone to the west of 140 E. Along an approximately north–south lin...
