the effect of pore geometry on seismic wave velocities in carbonate rocks from hydrocarbon reservoirs
the goal of this laboratory study is to investigate the effect of pore shapes on seismic wave velocities in carbonate rocks under reservoir conditions. in this research, 41 core plugs of carbonate rocks from oil fields of the southwest of iran were prepared. the compressional and shear wave velocities were measured in both dry and brine saturated samples under several pressures especially reser...
متن کاملRelationship between head wave amplitudes and seismic refraction velocities to detect lateral variation in the refractor
Refractor ambiguities are big problem in seismic refraction method especially in seismic engineering. There can be hidden subsurface geological phenomena such as hidden faults and shear zones which are not simply predicted by the travel-time graph or some geophysical methods. Head wave amplitudes are used to show the resolution of refractor ambiguities and the existence of anisotropy in complex...
متن کاملThe Wave-Driven Ocean Circulation
Oceanic surface gravity waves have a mean Lagrangian motion, the Stokes drift. The dynamics of winddriven, basin-scale oceanic currents in the presence of Stokes drift are modified by the addition of so-called vortex forces and wave-induced material advection, as well by wave-averaged effects in the surface boundary conditions for the dynamic pressure, sea level, and vertical velocity. Some the...
متن کاملOcean Surface Wave Optical Roughness: Innovative Polarization Measurement
Our research team, Christpher Zappa (Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory), Michael Banner (LamontDoherty Earth Observatory and University of New South Wales) and Howard Schultz (University of Massachusetts, Amherst), conducted a proof-of-concept study to assess the effectiveness of a new passive optical technique based on polarimetry. Conventional optical remote sensing techniques rely on light am...
متن کاملShear-wave velocities under the Transantarctic Mountains and Terror Rift from surface wave inversion
Rayleigh wave data between 20 and 120s period recorded in the western Ross Sea region of Antarctica are inverted using the waveform inversion technique described in Passier and Snieder [1995]. From the data we extract estimates of local S velocity structure beneath the Transantarctic Mountains and the Terror Rift. The shear wave velocities found are up to 6 % slower than the PREM model at betwe...
