We derive displacement equations for Rayleigh and Love waves in simple structural models for point sources in order to better understand source effects on their wavefields and radiation patterns. In doing so, we analytically demonstrate the existence of surface waves in these Earth models. Rayleigh and Love wave radiation patterns are found to mimic the P and SH radiation patterns, respectively...

In this manuscript, higher-order Orbital Angular Momentum (OAM) modes and parameters affecting vortex in the radiation pattern have been studied. A uniform circular array resonating at 10 GHz frequency is formed using eight identical rectangular patch antennas. Three uniform circular arrays are analyzed, simulated, and fabricated for OAM modes 0, +1, and -1 respectively. The higher-order OAM mo...

The radiation patterns of an elastic wave field generated by circular plane compressional and shear transducers are derived using the method of steepest descent. These patterns contain both effects of the elastic half space and the amplitude modulation due to the finite dimension of the piston source. Behaviors of radiation patterns of the generated compressional and shear waves are shown for l...

Global patterns of monthly averages of outgoing long-wave radiation and albedo as derived from TIROS IV radiometer data for the period February-May 1962 are examined relative to each other and with respect to monthly mean mid-tropospheric flow patterns. It is found that long-wave radiation and albedo are inversely correlated on a broad scale, particularly over ocean and non-desert regions. Both...
