Uncertainty loops in travel-time tomography from nonlinear wave physics.
Estimating image uncertainty is fundamental to guiding the interpretation of geoscientific tomographic maps. We reveal novel uncertainty topologies (loops) which indicate that while the speeds of both low- and high-velocity anomalies may be well constrained, their locations tend to remain uncertain. The effect is widespread: loops dominate around a third of United Kingdom Love wave tomographic ...
متن کاملSlab segmentation revealed by anisotropic P-wave tomography
[1] Seismic anisotropy is a useful indicator for identifying the physical and chemical condition of the Earth’s interior, such as stress and flow fields, and in situ constituent minerals. Using traveltime tomography, we examined threedimensional anisotropic P-wave velocity structure of the Kii Peninsula, southwest Japan, where source regions of megathrust earthquakes along the Nankai Trough are...
متن کاملWave-equation-based travel-time seismic tomography – Part 1: Method
In this paper, we propose a wave-equation-based travel-time seismic tomography method with a detailed description of its step-by-step process. First, a linear relationship between the travel-time residual 1t = T − T syn and the relative velocity perturbation δc(x)/c(x) connected by a finite-frequency travel-time sensitivity kernel K(x) is theoretically derived using the adjoint method. To accur...
متن کاملTravel Time Inversion in Seismic Tomography
The word tomography finds its origins in the two Greek words tomos, meaning section, and graphy, which translates as drawing. There are many different types of tomography used in many sciences such as medicine, biology, materials science and geology. The basic idea of tomography in all of its uses is to obtain a cross-section of an object which will then be used to infer various facts regarding...
متن کاملTravel time estimation methods for mode tomography
At long ranges, broadband receptions consist of early ray-like arrivals and a finale that is best described in terms of the low order modes. The energetic low mode signals are more strongly affected by internal wave scattering than the ray arrivals. By focusing on the low modes, this project seeks to develop a better understanding of internal wave effects. The first objective of this project is...
