Perturbational and nonperturbational inversion of Rayleigh-wave velocities
The inversion of Rayleigh-wave dispersion curves is a classic geophysical inverse problem. We have developed a set of MATLAB codes that performs forward modeling and inversion of Rayleigh-wave phase or group velocity measurements. We describe two different methods of inversion: a perturbational method based on finite elements and a nonperturbational method based on the recently developed Dix-ty...
متن کاملSOURCE MECHANISMS OF TWENTY-SIX LARGE, SHALLOW EARTHQUAKES (Ms~ 6.5) DURING 1980 FROM P-WAVE FIRST MOTION AND LONG-PERIOD RAYLEIGH WAVE DATA
Source mechanisms of 26 large shallow earthquakes are determined in terms of a double-couple point source with a correction for the nondirectional part of source finiteness by using P-wave first motions and long-period Rayleigh wave spectra recorded on WWSSN, IDA, and GDSN networks. The combined use of both data sets allows us to determine the double-couple mechanism uniquely in most cases. Con...
متن کاملShear wave tomography of China using joint inversion of body and surface wave constraints
[1] The India-Eurasia collision and the decratonization of the North China Craton have drawn much attention from the scientific community. Here we provide the first large-scale S wave velocity model for China (CH11-S) based on constraints from both teleseismic surface and body waves. We take advantage of the recent deployment of the 140 permanent stations of the Chinese Digital Seismic Network ...
متن کاملSource Estimation by Full Wave Form Inversion
We consider the inverse problem of estimating the parameters describing a seismic source, based on time-dependent ground motion recordings at a number of receiver stations. The source is modeled as a point moment tensor forcing, characterized by its location, moment tensor components, start time, and frequency parameter in the time function. In total, there are 11 unknown parameters. We use a n...
متن کاملDepths of Large Earthquakes Determined From Long-Period Rayleigh Waves
The depths and source mechanisms of nine large shallow earthquakes were determined from long-period (150 to 300 s) Rayleigh waves recorded by the Global Digital Seismograph Network (GDSN) and International Deployment of Accelerometers (IDA) networks. We inverted the data set of complex source spectra for a moment tensor (linear) or a double couple (nonlinear). By solving a least squares problem...
