Processing Pp and Ps Waves in Multicomponent Sea-floor Data for Azimuthal Anisotropy: Theory and Overview

چکیده
Les variations azimutales d'amplitude PP, la vitesse de move-out et le move-out dÕintervalle prsentent des variations elliptiques dans un milieu azimutalement anisotrope. Ceci peut servir dterminer lÕazimut de la fracture et a t vrifi sur des donnes relles. Mais les effets sur les ondes P interviennent seulement sur des azimuts multiples et d'autres facteurs en compliquent l'analyse. Ceci limite dans une certaine mesure l'application de l'analyse des ondes P. L'analyse des ondes PS peut de ce fait s'avrer trs utile. Pour des ondes PS dont la propagation est proche de la verticale, la polarisation et la diffrence de temps de propagation des ondes transversales permettent une mesure directe de l'orientation et de l'intensit de la fracturation. Pour une acquisition en 2D o le profil est parallle au cble rcepteur, une mthode optimale est propose pour dterminer l'azimut de la fracture partir de l'azimut de polarisation de l'onde transversale rapide. La mthode utilise l'analyse des rotations et suppose que les ondes transversales rapides et lentes ont des formes dÕonde similaires. Pour une gomtrie transversale en 3D o le profil est perpendiculaire au cble rcepteur, deux mthodes de dtermination sont proposes. La premire repose sur le changement de polarit et la diminution de l'amplitude dans les regroupements azimutaux de la composante gophonique transversale. La seconde mthode implique une rotation de paires orthogonales de regroupements azimutaux du rcepteur-source. L'azimut de polarisation que l'on a dtermin permet ensuite de dissocier les ondes transversales rapides et lentes dans les regroupements de champs directs pour estimer le temps de propagation.

Tomographic velocity analysis of PP- and PS-waves for VTI media: Field-data application
Mode-converted PS-waves can provide valuable information for anisotropic parameter estimation that cannot be obtained from compressional waves alone. In a previous paper, we developed an efficient tomographic methodology for 2D joint velocity analysis of PP and PS data from VTI (transversely isotropic with a vertical symmetry axis) media. The algorithm is designed to flatten image gathers of PP...
متن کاملObservations of Azimuthal Anisotropy in Prestack Seismic Data*
A method for displaying prestack seismic data that highlights azimuthal anisotropy is shown. Observations of azimuthal anisotropy in prestack seismic data using this and other methods make it clear that azimuthal anisotropy is observed in all types of seismic data, land, marine and multicomponent and it is widespread, from the shallowest to the deepest reflectors. Consequently, anisotropy must ...
متن کاملEstimation of Plunge Value in Single- or Multi-Layered Anisotropic Media Using Analysis of Fast Polarization Direction of Shear Waves
Estimation of the fast polarization direction of shear seismic waves that deviate from horizontal axis is a valuable approach to investigate the characteristics of the lower crust and uppermost mantle structures. The lattice preferred orientation of crystals, which is generally parallel to the downward or upward flow of the mantle or crust, is an important reason for the occurrence of fast axis...

[1] The lowermost mantle beneath Central America has anisotropic seismic velocity structure manifested in shear wave splitting of signals from South American earthquakes recorded at North American broadband recording stations. Prior studies of deep mantle anisotropy in this region have characterized the structure as having vertical transverse isotropy (VTI), which is sufficient to explain a gen...
متن کاملA Review of Models for Polarimetric Thermal Emissionfrom the Sea Surface
Current models for the microwave polarimetric brightness temperature of the sea surface are reviewed. Results from the physical optics (PO), composite surface, and small slope approximation (SSA) theories are illustrated and compared with an empirical model. All models are shown to predict both first and second harmonic azimuthal variations of sea brightnesses, but the physical effects captured...
