Ocean wave sources of seismic noise
[1] Noise with periods 3 to 10 s, ubiquitous in seismic records, is expected to be mostly generated by pairs of ocean wave trains of opposing propagation directions with half the seismic frequency. Here we present the first comprehensive numerical model of microseismic generation by random ocean waves, including ocean wave reflections. Synthetic and observed seismic spectra are well correlated ...
متن کاملDynamical partitioning of directional ocean wave spectra
Directional wave spectra generally exhibit several peaks due to the coexistence of wind sea generated by local wind conditions and swells originating from distant weather systems. This paper proposes a new algorithm for partitioning such spectra and retrieving the various systems which compose a complex sea-state. It is based on a sequential Monte-Carlo algorithm which allows to follow the time...
متن کاملInternal wave reflection in uniform shear
If nonhydrostatic internal waves are of sufficiently large amplitude, they undergo significant dispersion due to interactions between the waves and wave-induced mean flow. The effect of these interactions is investigated for internal waves propagating upward in a uniformly stratified Boussinesq flow with uniform shear. The sign of the shear is established so that the wave intrinsic frequency in...
متن کاملInternal deformation of the subducted Nazca slab inferred from seismic anisotropy
Withinoceanic lithospherea fossilized fabric is oftenpreserved originating from the time of plate formation. Such fabric is thought to form at the mid-ocean ridge when olivine crystals align with the direction of plate spreading1,2. It is unclear, however, whether this fossil fabric is preserved within slabs during subduction or overprinted by subduction-induced deformation. The alignment of ol...
متن کاملA nonlinear mapping from dual−polarization SAR image spectra to Ocean wave spectra
It is well known that ocean waves are an important component of upper ocean dynamics. The synthetic aperture radar (SAR) has been widely used to measure ocean surface wave spectra from space since the Seasat satellite was launched in 1978. Many papers have been published dealing with the imaging mechanism and retrieval methodology. Schuler and Lee proposed a method to improve the measurement of...
