Relative Seismic Attenuation Estimation
The end goal of any solid Earth study is to better constrain physical parameters of the Earth (e.g. viscosity, temperature, and mineral composition). As we are unable to directly measure many of these quantities, past a few kilometers in depth, we must content ourselves with indirect estimates by way of experiment and theory. Just as geochemists do this by way of compositional deviations from p...
متن کاملEstimation of azimuthally varying attenuation from surface seismic data
Observing the azimuthally varying seismic attenuation in data that show azimuthal velocity anisotropy could contribute not only to the interpretation of the subsurface symmetry systems, but also to the characterization of its physical parameters. In this paper, we estimate azimuthal variations of the P-wave effective quality factor (Q) from field surface seismic data. We also provide an interpr...
متن کاملSeismic interferometry, intrinsic losses and Q-estimation∗
Seismic interferometry is the process of generating new seismic traces from the crosscorrelation, convolution or deconvolution of existing traces. One of the starting assumptions for deriving the representations for seismic interferometry by crosscorrelation is that there is no intrinsic loss in the medium where the recordings are performed. In practice, this condition is not always met. Here, ...
متن کاملNear-surface VSP surveys using the seismic cone penetrometer
We have found that high-quality vertical seismic profile (VSP) data can be collected for near-surface applications using the seismic cone penetrometer. Conemounted accelerometers are used as the VSP receivers, and a sledgehammer against the cone truck baseplate is used as a source. This technique eliminates the need to drill a borehole, thereby reducing the cost of the survey, and results in a ...
متن کاملImproved Green’s functions from seismic interferometry
Under certain theoretical assumptions, the theory of seismic interferometry allows the construction of artificial (or virtual) sources and receivers at the locations of receivers in a physical experiment. This is done by redatuming the physical sources to be at the locations of the physical receivers. Each redatumed trace is formed by stacking the cross-correlations of appropriate recorded trac...
