Quantitative determination of uncertainties in seismic refraction prospecting
We present a model of the propagation of refracted seismic waves in planar (horizontal or dipping) layered structures in which we quantify the errors from various sources. The model, called the (mixed) variance component model, separates the errors originating on the surface from those due to inhomogeneities of subsurface layers. The model starts with the assumption of homogeneous (constant-vel...
متن کاملThe Amplitudes of Waves to Be Expected in Seismic Prospecting
A method of calculating the amplitudes of bodily waves in earthquakes is applied to a study of the amplitudes of longitudinal waves produced by an artificial explosion. Formulae are given for calculating the energy of the reflected longitudinal wave arriving at the surface. The percentage of energy reflected at a discontinuity increases rapidly after the angle of incidence exceeds the critical ...
متن کاملQuantifying Seismic Source Parameter Uncertainties
We use data from a small aperture array in southern California to quantify variations in source parameter estimates at closely spaced stations (distances ranging from ∼7 to 350 m) to provide constraints on parameter uncertainties. Many studies do not consider uncertainties in these estimates even though they can be significant and have important implications for studies of earthquake source phy...
متن کاملDetermination and sensitivity analysis of the seismic velocity of a shallow layer from refraction traveltimes measures
In this paper, we are interested in determining the seismic velocity of a shallow under-ground layer from refraction traveltimes measures. We present a study case taken from an experimental seismic survey. The study case is a wide-angle seismic inversion using experimental traveltimes measures and based on ray tracing technique and genetic algorithms. The hypothesis on the velocity distribution...
متن کاملInversion of seismic refraction data in planar dipping structure
A new method is presented for the direct inversion of seismic refraction data in dipping planar structure. Three recording geometries, each consisting of two common-shot profiles, are considered: reversed, split, and roll-along profiles. Inversion is achieved via slant stacking the common-shot wavefield to obtain a delay time-slowness (tau-p) wavefield. The tau-p curves from two shotpoints desc...
