Mantle anisotropy beneath the Tibetan Plateau: evidence from long-period surface waves
We investigate long-period surface waves (T> 100 s) propagating across the Tibetan Plateau, based on the seismic records from a PASSCAL portable array and nearby Chinese Digital Seismic Network (CDSN) stations. Significant quasi-Love waveform anomalies, associated with fundamental Rayleigh-Love coupling, are consistently observed, suggesting that strong lateral gradients in azimuthal anisotropy...
متن کاملQ Distribution for Long-Period P Waves in the Mantle By
The Q-depth relation in the earth's mantle has been estimated for long-period P waves from two deep-focus and three intermediate earthquakes. The amplitude spectrums of the first P waves from 114 seismograms at recording stations inthe distance range between 15 and 103 degrees, have been corrected for the crustal structure and the instrument and used to measure the effects of attenuation ver th...
متن کاملThe Alaska Earthquake of 1964: Radiation of Long-Period Surface Waves and Source Mechanism
The records of multiple Love and Rayleigh waves of the Alaska earthquake of 1964 were recovered from the 30-100 seismograph records at the WWSSN stations. The seismograms were equalized to a propagation distance of 9rr/2 (equivalent to G5 and R5 at • -r/2). These seismograms were compared with synthetic seismograms for radiation pattern and amplitude to estimate various source parameters. The s...
متن کاملLong-period unstable gravity-waves and associated VHF radar echoes
VHF atmospheric radar is used to measure the wind velocity and radar echo power related to longperiod wind perturbations, including gravity waves, which are observed commonly in the lower stratosphere and tropopause region, and sometimes in the troposphere. These wind structures have been identi®ed previously as either inertia-gravity waves, often associated with jet streams, or mountain waves....
متن کاملSurface Gravity Waves and Coupled Marine Boundary Layers
The long term objective of our research is to advance the understanding of air-sea interaction and the coupling between the atmospheric and oceanic boundary layers (the ABL and OBL) medi ated by the surface gravity wave field, in order ultimately to develop better parameterizations of the boundary layers and surface fluxes for coupled, large-scale numerical models. Turbulenceresolving, large-e...
