Spectra of mantle shear wave velocity structure
We applied the stochastic method of Gudmundsson, Davies & Clayton (1990) (which was applied to ISC P-wave data) to teleseismic ISC S-wave data to obtain an independent estimate of mantle structure. We inverted the variance of S-wave traveltime residuals of bundles of rays to obtain a description of the spectrum of lateral heterogeneity as a function of depth through the mantle. The technique yi...
متن کاملInvestigating the S Wave Velocity Structure Beneath Southwest North America through Seismogram Comparison of C052297B Earthquake
In this research the investigation concerning the earth structure beneath the Southwest North America landmass is carried out, which covers a small area, i.e. between Mexico and California. S speed models for this area are obtained by carrying out seismogram fitting in time domain and three simultaneous Cartesian components. Seismogram data are the effect of earthquake C052297B in Guererro, Mex...

متن کاملMantle shear-wave velocity structure beneath the Hawaiian hot spot.
Defining the mantle structure that lies beneath hot spots is important for revealing their depth of origin. Three-dimensional images of shear-wave velocity beneath the Hawaiian Islands, obtained from a network of sea-floor and land seismometers, show an upper-mantle low-velocity anomaly that is elongated in the direction of the island chain and surrounded by a parabola-shaped high-velocity anom...
متن کاملDeclining Mountain Snowpack in Western North America*
JANUARY 2005 AMERICAN METEOROLOGICAL SOCIETY | ountain snowpack in western North America is a key component of the hydrologic cycle, storing water from the winter (when most precipitation falls) and releasing it in spring and early summer, when economic, environmental, and recreational demands for water throughout the West are frequently greatest. In most river basins of the West, especially in...
