Synthetic seismograms generated by solving the seismic wave equation using numerical methods are being widely used in seismology. For fully three-dimensional seismic structure models, the generation of these synthetic seismograms may require large amount of computing resources. Conventional high-performance computer clusters may not provide a cost-effective solution to this type of applications...

Seismic data are recorded and commonly interpreted in vertical two-way time; well logs, measured in depth, must be tied to seismic using a time-depth curve. However, well ties contain a large amount of uncertainty due to errors in the generation of synthetic seismograms and manual matching of synthetic seismograms to seismic traces. Using dynamic time warping, a fast algorithm that optimally al...

in exploration seismology, estimation of elastic parameters of rocks using seismic amplitudes is considered as inverse problems. nowadays, model-based and more generally optimization-based algorithms are of the most common methods of seismic inversion. these algorithms which are known as deterministic methods, are suffering from two main problems; first, vertical resolution of outputs is very l...

The effects of some synthetic sweeteners on the rheological and physical properties of guar gum in dilute solutions were investigated.Measurements include the determination of intrinsic viscosity and the particle size, surface weighted mean [D3, 2], volume weighted mean [D4,3] and specificsurface area ofguar gum andsyntheticsweeteners mixtures. T...

Long-period surface waves recorded on the north-south Pasadena strainmeter are used to determine the seismic moments and fault parameters of the 19 May 1940 Imperial Valley, California, the 16 December 1954 Dixie Valley and Fairview Peak, Nevada, and the 18 August 1959 Hebgen Lake, Montana, earthquakes. Synthetic strain seismograms are matched with the observed strainmeter seismograms. Source p...

[1] Starting soon after the 1997 eruption at Okmok volcano and continuing until the start of the 2008 eruption, magma accumulated in a storage zone centered ∼3.5 km beneath the caldera floor at a rate that varied with time. A Mogi‐type point pressure source or finite sphere with a radius of 1 km provides an adequate fit to the deformation field portrayed in time‐sequential interferometric synth...

The Moho discontinuity is one of the fundamental boundaries on Earth, separating crust from upper mantle. Arrival times seismic reflection and refraction data are used to estimate depth Moho, but nature remains illusive. We present a synthetic seismogram modelling study for suite possible velocity models oceanic lower transition zone (MTZ). For modelling, we have 45-km long multichannel streame...

the normalized full gradient (nfg) method defined by berezkin (1967, 1973 and 1998) is used for downward continuation maps. analytical downward continuation is a method to estimate the field closer to the source and consequently results in a better resolution of underground rock distribution. however, the usefulness of this process is limited by the fact that the operation is extremely sensitiv...
