Monte-Carlo inversion for a global shear-velocity model of the crust and upper mantle
S U M M A R Y We describe a method to invert surface wave dispersion data for a model of shear velocities with uncertainties in the crust and uppermost mantle. The inversion is a multistep process, constrained by a priori information, that culminates in a Markov-chain Monte-Carlo sampling of model space to yield an ensemble of acceptable models at each spatial node. The model is radially anisot...
متن کاملShear - Velocity Heterogeneities in the Upper Mantle
Long-period surface waves are used to map lateral heterogeneities of velocity and anisotropy in the upper mantle. The dispersion curves are expanded in spherical harmonics up to degree 6 and inverted to find the depth structure. The data are corrected for the effect of surface layers and both Love and Rayleigh waves are used. Shear wave velocity and shear polarization anisotropy can be resolved...
متن کاملShear Velocity in the Lower Mantle From Explosion Data
A new technique utilizing theoretical wave forms has been developed to determine precise shear wave travel times. This technique was applied to long-period World-Wide Standard Seismograph Network and Canadian network seismograms of five large nuclear explosions to obtain a surface focus shear wave data set containing about 100 travel times for distances greater than 30 ø. Very little scatter is...
متن کاملA Shear Velocity Discontinuity in the Lower Mantle
A lower mantle S-wave triplication is detected using shortand long-period SH seismograms in the distance range 70 ø to 95 ø . Modeling of the observations with synthetic seismograms indicates that the tripliGation is produced by a 2.75 • 0.25% shear velocity increase about 280 km above the core-mantle boundary. The SH data from intermediate and deep focus events for three distinct source ragion...
متن کاملMonte Carlo Quasi-heatbath by Approximate Inversion
When sampling the distribution P (~ φ) ∝ exp(−|A~ φ|2), a global heatbath normally proceeds by solving the linear system A~ φ = ~η, where ~η is a normal Gaussian vector, exactly. This paper shows how to preserve the distribution P (~ φ) while solving the linear system with arbitrarily low accuracy. Generalizations are presented.
