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...

A research has been conducted to estimate earthquake source parameters that occurred on June 3rd, 13th, 18th and 19th, 2008. The data used to determine the parameters of earthquakes source are three components local waveform that are recorded by three MY broadband stations (IPM, KOM and KUM) and PSI, Poseidon. In this research, we report a focal mechanism of events using three components local ...

The S transform is variable window of short time Fourier transform (STFT) or an extension of wavelet transform (WT). It is based on a scalable localizing Gaussian window and supplies the frequency dependent resolution. In this tutorial, we introduce the fundamental function of S transform and the generalized S transform. Furthermore, we present some applications of S transform: seismogram analy...

[1] We applied the wavelet transform in an attempt to detect long-period components early in a seismogram. We analyzed the displacement seismograms of the 26 December 2004 Sumatra-Andaman earthquake (Mw = 9.2) and the 28 March 2005 Nias earthquake (Mw = 8.7). Wavelet analysis is able to clearly distinguish the amplitudes of the long-period W phase between the seismograms of the two earthquakes ...

Recent studies of deep mantle structure indicate strong heterogeneity. To conduct highresolution waveform modelling of these structures, we have developed a new method to construct 2-D synthetics directly from block-style tomographic models. Unlike the WKBJ approximation, which utilizes rays overshooting and undershooting receivers, our method (WKM approximation) uses rays that arrive at the re...

Because predictive decon fails on the Ricker wavelet, earlier we devised an extension to non-minimum phase wavelets (Yang et al, 2011). It showed remarkable clarity of seismogram polarity. Here we improve our method by a log spectral parameterization. Another innovation here is correctly handling time-variable gain. Since filtering does not commute with TV gain, gain is now done after decon (no...

S U M M A R Y Scattered waves observed at the seismographs of the National Italy’s seismic network have been used to investigate the intrinsic dissipation and scattering properties of the lithosphere under the Southern Apennines, Italy. First, we investigate the coda-Q properties, then we apply the MLTW analysis in the hypothesis of velocity and scattering coefficient constant with depth, and f...
