Spectral-Element Moment Tensor Inversions for Earthquakes in Southern California
We have developed and implemented an automated moment tensor inversion procedure to determine source parameters for southern California earthquakes. The method is based upon spectral-element simulations of regional seismic wave propagation in an integrated 3D southern California velocity model. Sensitivity to source parameters is determined by numerically calculating the Fréchet derivatives req...
متن کاملAdjoint centroid-moment tensor inversions
S U M M A R Y We determine centroid-moment tensor (CMT) solutions by minimizing waveform differences between observed and simulated seismograms based on an adjoint method. Synthetic seismograms and Fréchet derivatives are calculated based on a spectral-element method. The non-linear adjoint CMT inversion algorithm requires three simulations for each iteration: one ‘forward’ simulation to obtain...
متن کاملRapid Full-Wave Centroid Moment Tensor (CMT) Inversion in a Three-Dimensional Earth Structure Model for Earthquakes in Southern California
S U M M A R Y A central problem of seismology is the inversion of regional waveform data for models of earthquake sources. In regions such as Southern California, preliminary 3-D earth structure models are already available, and efficient numerical methods have been developed for 3-D anelastic wave-propagation simulations. We describe an automated procedure that utilizes these capabilities to d...
متن کاملShort Note Spectral Discrimination between Quarry Blasts and Earthquakes in Southern California
We compare P-wave spectra of quarry blasts and earthquakes recorded by the southern California seismic network (SCSN) between 2000 and 2005, with the goal of developing methods to discriminate between these events. We process the spectra using an iterative robust least-squares method to isolate source, receiver, and propagation path contributions. This corrects for first-order attenuation struc...
متن کاملSurface Wave Path Corrections and Source Inversions in Southern California
The cut-and-paste (CAP) method for retrieving earthquake source parameters has proven useful in many regions. Since CAP breaks three-component data into Pnl and surface wave segments and models them separately, imperfect 1D Green’s functions can be effectively used to model the records and determine source parameters. The resultant time shifts for different segments, for example, Pnl or surface...
