Contrasting lithospheric signatures across the western United States revealed by Sp receiver functions
a r t i c l e i n f o a b s t r a c t Keywords: receiver functions lithosphere lithosphere–asthenosphere boundary mid-lithospheric discontinuity To explore how lithospheric structure varies between tectonic and magmatic terranes of the western United States, we use observations of shear-to-compressional wave conversions across lithospheric velocity interfaces. With a newly developed automatic m...
متن کاملNorth American lithospheric discontinuity structure imaged by Ps and Sp receiver functions
[1] Sp and Ps converted seismic waves at 93 permanent seismic stations are used to image upper mantle velocity discontinuities across the contiguous United States and portions of southeast Canada and northwest Mexico. Receiver functions are calculated with frequency‐ domain deconvolution and migrated with 1D models that account for variations in crustal structure and mantle velocities between s...
متن کاملInterpreting Belief Functions as Dirichlet Distributions
Traditional Dempster Shafer belief theory does not provide a simple method for judging the effect of statistical and probabilistic data on belief functions and vice versa. This puts belief theory in isolation from probability theory and hinders fertile cross-disciplinary developments, both from a theoretic and an application point of view. It can be shown that a bijective mapping exists between...
متن کاملEstimating and Interpreting Probability Density Functions
This paper examines two approaches to estimating implied risk-neutral probability density functions from the prices of European-style options. It sets up a monte carlo test to evaluate alternative techniques’ ability to recover simulated distributions based on Heston’s (1993) stochastic volatility model. The paper tests both for the accuracy and stability of the estimated summary statistics fro...
متن کاملReceiver functions from regional P waves
P waves from regional-distance earthquakes are complex and reverberatory, as would be expected from a combination of head waves, post-critical crustal reflections and shallow-incident P waves from the upper mantle. Although designed for steeply-incident teleseismic P waves, receiver functions (RFs) can also retrieve information about crustal structure from regional P. Using a new computation me...
