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 کاملConstraints on Mantle Anelasticity from SLR Tidal Estimates
Satellite Laser Ranging (SLR) measurements of the Earth’s gravity field can be used to solve for solid Earth tides. We use those solutions to place constraints on anelasticity in the Earth’s mantle at periods of 12 hours and 18.6 years. The results imply that the anelastic parameter Q is smaller for those tides than for seismic waves. We interpret this as evidence that Q is frequency dependent....
متن کاملThree dimensional shear wave velocity structure of the crust and upper mantle beneath China from ambient noise surface wave tomography∗
We determine the three-dimensional shear wave velocity structure of the crust and upper mantle in China using Green’s functions obtained from seismic ambient noise cross-correlation. The data we use are from the China National Seismic Network, global and regional networks and PASSCAL stations in the region. We first acquire cross-correlation seismograms between all possible station pairs. We t...
