Earth Structure from Free Oscillations and Travel Times*
An extensive set of reliable gross Earth data has been inverted to obtain a new estimate of the radial variations of seismic velocities and density in the Earth. The basic data set includes the observed mass and moment of inertia, the average periods of free oscillation (taken mainly from the Dziewonski-Gilbert study), and five new sets of differential travel-time data. The differential travel-...
متن کاملCONTINUOUS FREE OSCILLATIONS: Atmosphere-Solid Earth Coupling
■ Abstract In 1997, after almost forty years since the initial attempt by Benioff et al (1959), continuous free oscillations of the Earth were discovered. Spheroidal fundamental modes between 2 and 7 millihertz are excited continuously with acceleration amplitudes of about 0.3–0.5 nanogals. The signal is now commonly found in virtually all data recorded by STS-1 type broadband seismometers at q...
متن کاملAn Earth Model Based on Free Oscillations and Body Waves
Several recent inversion studies have clearly indicated the lack of resolving power of the normal mode data set and the possible trade-offs among the various parameters. These studies have also shown that the final model is as dependent on the starting model as on the data set. It is therefore important to incorporate body wave data into any inversion scheme not only to gain resolution but also...
متن کاملA Random Walk with Exponential Travel Times
Consider the random walk among N places with N(N - 1)/2 transports. We attach an exponential random variable Xij to each transport between places Pi and Pj and take these random variables mutually independent. If transports are possible or impossible independently with probability p and 1-p, respectively, then we give a lower bound for the distribution function of the smallest path at point log...
