Spectral Structure of High Frequency P and S Phases Observed by Obs's in the Mariana Basin
نویسندگان
چکیده
The spectral content of high frequency (1-30Hz) P and S phases observed by ocean bottom seismographs (OBS's) in the Mariana basin is investigated . It is shown that autoregressive models of 10-30th order are suitable for analyzing high frequency waves. For events with S-P times greater than 50 sec, both the predominant frequency and the wave energy of observed P and S phases are confined to a narrow range, say 6-10Hz for P waves and 5.5-9Hz for S waves . In addition, high frequency phases are also characterized by their long duration. It seems likely that some intrinsic property of the oceanic crust or upper mantle allows the efficient ransmission of high frequency (5-10Hz) seismic waves. A model of the oceanic upper mantle which is consistent with the observed transmission of high frequency seismic waves is presented.

متن کاملComparing Geostatistical Seismic Inversion Based on Spectral Simulation with Deterministic Inversion: A Case Study
Seismic inversion is a method that extracts acoustic impedance data from the seismic traces. Source wavelets are band-limited, and thus seismic traces do not contain low and high frequency information. Therefore, there is a serious problem when the deterministic seismic inversion is applied to real data and the result of deterministic inversion is smooth. Low frequency component is obtained fro...

Seismic waves are non-stationary due to its propagation through the earth. Time-frequency transforms are suitable tools for analyzing non-stationary seismic signals. Spectral decomposition can reveal the non-stationary characteristics which cannot be easily observed in the time or frequency representation alone. Various types of spectral decomposition methods have been introduced by some resear...
