Three-dimensional inverse problem for inhomogeneous transversely isotropic media

Summary The basic formula used in the presented paper gives the relation between the P wave travel-time perturbation and the perturbation of an inhomogeneous transversely isotropic medium, expressed by four perturbations of elastic parameters and by two angles of orientation of the axis of symmetry of transverse isotropy in space. The travel time perturbation is computed along the ray in the unperturbed inhomogeneous isotropic medium. Four elastic parameters and two angles are parametrized in the model under study and a system of equations for many rays is constructed. The equations are linear in the sought elastic parameters and nonlinear in the sought angles, and the iterative Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm is thus used to solve them. The theoretical 3-D inverse problem was solved in the presented numerical example. The data, simulating teleseismic data, were computed in the direct problem and then inverted. The results indicate the applicability and limitation of the presented algorithm in real problems.

Normal density earth models

Summary Models of the Earth's density, close to thePREM model, have been derived, they reproduce the external normal gravitational field of the Earth and its dynamic flattening, and are referred to as normal density models. The Earth's surface is approximated by an ellipsoid of the order of the flattening, or of its square. Of the group of normal models sgtisfying the solution of the inverse problem, the normal density modelHME2 is recommended. The spherically symmetric density modelPREM, which was corrected in the course of solving the inverse problem, thus creating the modifiedPREM-E2 model, was used as the a priori information.

Magnitudes of detectable and localizable shocks in nw bohemia

Summary The effectiveness of recording seismic phenomena in the Kruné hory (Mts.) region in NW Bohemia by selected stations in the CSR, GDR and Poland has been estimated. Magnitude isolines of the weakest earthquakes, which can be localized and detected with an 0.9 probability, were calculated on the basis of the level of seismic disturbances at the individual stations and of the empirical dependence of the attenuation of seismic waves with distance.

Dependence of seismic wave amplitudes on the size of shot-hole explosions

Summary The paper presents relations experimentally determined between seismic wave amplitudes and the charge size in the immediate vicinity of the shotpoint ( 800 m), on the one hand, and at a more distant station ( 22.5 km), on the other hand. Whereas close to the shotpoint the amplitudes observed sometimes display a considerably degree of scatter, as well as a change in character of the P-wave record due mainly to the change in position of the holes in the area of the shotpoint, this effect was not observed at the more distant station. Since the charge size was changed in the course of the measurements, the observed amplitudes will be reduced to a unified charge size of Q=1,200 kg, according to Eq. (8), in which the exponent n has the following values: n_Pg=0.77, n_Sg=0.92 and n_Lm=1.51. The values of the exponent n for P-waves are very close to the values given in [4–9].     

Explanation of the internal air pressure effect on the worden gravity meter dial constant

Summary A model, explaining the effect of air pressure changes in the space of the measuring system on the fine dial counter constant of the Worden and similar gravity meters, is presented. It is based on the changes of the bellows volume with compensating the gravity changes. It is shown that the resetting the gravity meter in the whole range has practically no influence on the fine dial counter constant.

On surface seismic waves formation

Summary The interpretation of surface seismic waves records is rather complicated as they include a superposition of oscillations of the fundamental mode and higher modes. Besides recorded oscillations depend on spectral characteristics of motions in earthquakes sources. The consideration of these problems is based on results of surface waves two-dimensional modelling [1]³. Some physical ideas about their formation deals with the change of the nature of the oscillation propagating with dispersion. This report represents a condensate of several independent works. , , . , . , . () . .Scientific communication presented to the IASPEI Assembly, Madrid, 1969.     

On the possibilities of horizontal propagation ofPc1 pulsations in the ionosphere

Summary The vertical distribution of the contribution of the energy flux density due to the Alfvén(ordinary) wave, guided by the geomagnetic field(and propagating through the ionosphere to the Earth's surface) in the horizontal direction is demonstrated in the mechanism of the horizontal propagation of the Pc1 signal. The distribution with height is shown of the variations of the polarization characteristics of the propagating wave(e.g. the rotation of the polarization plane, changes in ellipticity, attenuation, etc.), which are the result of coupling in the denser layers of the low ionosphere in which also suitable isotropic(extraordinary) modes are generated. The results obtained using the method described in[4, 13] are demonstrated on a model of the daytime ionosphere under incidence of ordinaryL-modes, frequency f=0.3 Hz, and various meridional angles at the ionosphere.

Heat flow in the upper-silesian coal basin: Re-evaluation of data with special attention to the lithology

Summary The area of the Upper Silesian Coal Basin was characterized by generally high heat flow ranging from 60 to 120 mWm^–2, mean 82±16 mWm^–2, which has been difficult to explain. Therefore all published data on the heat flow in this region (n=37) were summarized and re-evaluated. Special attention was paid to the detailed assessment of the lithological structure and the contribution of the individual rock types to the characteristic in-situ thermal conductivity. Also the thermal conductivity of the coal bearing layers was estimated and its effect on the temperature-depth distribution was investigated. The application of the data obtained for the representative thermal conductivity profiles of the whole drilled section considerably reduced the mean heat flow to 70±8 mWm^–2. The latter value is fully compatible with the tectonic structure of the northern part of the Carpathian Frontal Foredeep. Slightly increased geothermal activity compared with the heat flow field of the adjacent part of the Bohemian Massif corresponds to certain deep geological rejuvenation during the creation of the Western Carpathians.

A note on tidal current rotation

The rotational form of the vertically averaged equations of motion is applied to derive a formula, linear friction included, which establishes a direct connection between sense of rotation of tidal currents and features of tidal amphidromic systems. Two factors in the formula, called and , influence the sense of rotation of tidal currents; the factor involves the frequency of the tidal signal , the Coriolis parameter f, and the linear friction coefficient r. The sign of the cross-product of the logarithm of sea-surface elevation (), and phase () gradients determines whether the factor favors clockwise or anticlockwise sense of rotation. is a unit vector and is the angle between ln and . The limits ||0, ||0 and 0 lead to a clockwise sense of rotation in the Northern Hemisphere. 0 favors anticlockwise rotation in the Northern Hemisphere. Friction and low frequencies favor an anticlockwise sense of rotation. The theory works well in semi-enclosed regions like the North Sea. Although only linear friction and sea-surface elevation gradients were considered, there are ocean regions where the agreement between theory and observations is also good.Responsible Editor: Hans Burchard     

Changes in the shape of the circumpolar vortex due to heating from above

Summary Based on model considerations it is shown that, under certain assumptions, zonalization of tropospheric circulation may be expected in the region of the auroral oval as a result of heat released at the time energetic electrons penetrate from the Sun into the lower stratosphere.

Structure and evolution of the terrestrial planets

Geo-scientific planetary research of the last 25 years has revealed the global structure and evolution of the terrestrial planets Moon, Mercury, Venus and Mars. The evolution of the terrestrial bodies involves a differentiation into heavy metallic cores, Fe-and Mg-rich silicate mantles and light Ca, Al-rich silicate crusts early in the history of the solar system. Magnetic measurements yield a weak dipole field for Mercury, a very weak field (and local anomalies) for the Moon and no measurable field for Venus and mars. Seismic studies of the Moon show a crust-mantle boundary at an average depth of 60 km for the front side, P- and S-wave velocities around 8 respectively 4.5 km s^–1 in the mantle and a considerable S-wave attenuation below a depth of 1000 km. Satellite gravity permits the study of lateral density variations in the lithosphere. Additional contributions come from photogeology, orbital particle, x-and -ray measurements, radar and petrology.The cratered surfaces of the smaller bodies Moon and Mercury have been mainly shaped by meteorite impacts followed by a period of volcanic flows into the impact basins until about 3×10⁹ yr before present. Mars in addition shows a more developed surface. Its northern half is dominated by subsidence and younger volcanic flows. It even shows a graben system (rift) in the equatorial region. Large channels and relics of permafrost attest the role of water for the erosional history. Venus, the most developed body except Earth, shows many indications of volcanism, grabens (rifts) and at least at northern latitudes collisional belts, i.e. mountain ranges, suggesting a limited plate tectonic process with a possible shallow subduction.List of Symbols and Abbreviations a=R _e mean equatorial radius (km) - A(r, t) heat production by radioactive elements (W m^–3) - A, B equatorial moments of inertia - b polar radius (km) - complex amplitude of bathymetry in the wave number (K) domain (m) - C polar moment of inertia - C _Fe moment of inertia of metallic core - C _Si moment of inertia of silicate mantle - C _p heat capacity at constant pressure (JK^–1 mole^–) - C _nm,J _nm,S _nm harmonic coefficients of degreen and orderm - C/(MR _e ² ) factor of moment of inertia - d distance (km) - d nondimensional radius of disc load of elastic bending model - D diameter of crater (km) - D flexural rigidity (dyn cm) - E Young modulus (dyn cm^–2) - E maximum strain energy - E energy loss during time interval t - f frequency (Hz) - f flattening - F magnetic field strength (Oe) (1 Oe=79.58A m^–1) - g acceleration or gravity (cms^–2) or (mGal) (1mGal=10^–3cms^–2) - mean acceleration - g _e equatorial surface gravity - complex amplitude of gravity anomaly in the wave number (K) domain - g free air gravity anomaly (FAA) - g Bouguer gravity anomaly - g _t gravity attraction of the topography - G gravitational constant,G=6.67×10^–11 m³kg^–1s^–2 - GM planetocentric gravitational constant - h relation of centrifugal acceleration (² R _e ) to surface acceleration (g _e ) at the equator - J magnetic flux density (magnetic field) (T) (1T=10⁹ nT=10⁹ =10⁴G (Gauss)) - J ₂ oblateness - J _nm seeC _nm - k ₍₀₎ (zero) pressure bulk modulus (Pa) (Pascal, 1 Pa=1 Nm^–2) - K wave number (km^–1) - K ^* thermal conductivity (Jm^–1s^–1K^–1) - L thickness of elastic lithosphere (km) - M mas of planet (kg) - M _Fe mass of metallic core - M _Si mass of silicate mantle - M(r) fractional mass of planet with fractional radiusr - m magnetic dipole moment (Am²) (1Am²=10³Gcm³) - m _b body wave magnitude - N crater frequency (km^–2) - N(D) cumulative number of cumulative frequency of craters with diameters D - P pressure (Pa) (1Pa=1Nm^–2=10^–5 bar) - P _z vertical (lithostatic) stress, see also _z (Pa) - P _n ^m (cos) Legendre polynomial - q surface load (dyn cm^–2) - Q seismic quality factor, 2E/E - Q _s ,Q _p seismic quality factor derived from seismic S-and P-waves - R=R ₀ mean radius of the planet (km) (2a+b)/3 - R _e =a mean equatorial radius of the planet - r distance from the center of the planet (fractional radius) - r _Fe radius of metallic core - S _nm seeC _nm - t time and age in a (years), d (days), h (hours), min (minutes), s (seconds) - T mean crustal thickness from Airy isostatic gravity models (km) - T temperature (°C or K) (0°C=273.15K) - T _m solidus temperature - T sideral period of rotation in d (days), h (hours), min (minutes), s (seconds), =2/T - U external potential field of gravity of a planet - V volume of planet - V _p ,V _s compressional (P), shear (S) wave velocity, respectively (kms^–1) - w deflection of lithosphere from elastic bending models (km) - z, Z depth (km) - z (K) admittance function (mGal m^–1) - thermal expansion (°C^–1) - viscosity (poise) (1 poise=1gcm^–1s^–1) - co-latitude (90°-) - longitude - Poisson ratio - density (g cm^–3) - mean density - ₀ zero pressure density - _m , _Si average density of silicate mantle (fluid interior) - average density of metallic core - _t , _top density of the topography - density difference between crustal and mantle material - electrical conductivity (^–1 m^–1) - _r , radial and azimuthal surface stress of axisymmetric load (Pa) - _z vertical (lithostatic) stress (seeP _z ) - _II second invariant of stress deviation tensor - latitude - angular velocity of a planet (=2/T) - ages in years (a), generally 0 years is present - B.P. before present - FAA Free Air Gravity Anomaly (see g - HFT High Frequency Teleseismic event - LTP Lunar Transient Phenomenon - LOS Line-Of-Sight - NRM Natural Remanent Magnetization Contribution No. 309, Institut für Geophysik der Universität, Kiel, F.R.G.

INacting in dependence on the temperature and supersaturation over the ice are considered in the 1 D SSconvection cloud model with detailed microphysics including freezing. The limiting influence of the water vapour pressure upon the concentration of active INis shown resulting from the dependence of water vapour pressure on the ice particle concentration.

     

The optimal shape design method applied to modelling thermal thinning of the oceanic lithosphere near hot spots

Summary Using the optimal shape design method, which is generally described, and von Herzen's et al. measurements of the heat flow, the shape of the lithosphere and its thermal field is computed in the vertical plane parallel to the hot spot source versus the plate velocity at a distance of about 250 km from the axis of the Hawaiian Island chain. The results are compared with the computations based on Crough's idea of thermal rejuvenation of the oceanic lithosphere above a hot spot source. If we assume that the lateral cross-section of the lithospheric bottom is described by the Gaussian curve h=h₀ exp (–y²/2²), we obtain h₀35 km and 130 km, where h is the value of lithospheric thinning and y the lateral coordinate. We thus obtain the lower limit of the lateral dimension of the Hawaiian anomaly.

Anisotropic magnetic susceptibility of rocks under mechanical stresses

Summary The magnetic susceptibility of a rock under a uniaxial compression () decreases along the axis of compression and increases along the direction perpendicular to the axis, with an increase of . Thus, the magnetic susceptibility of a compressed rock becomes anisotropic.The decrease of longitudinal susceptibility,K (), and the increase of transverse susceptibility,K (), are theoretically derived from a model of rock which assumes the uniaxial anisotropy and the isotropic magnetostriction of magnetic minerals in rocks and a random orientation of the minerals. Results show thatK () decreases toward zero whereasK () increases and approaches a finite asymptotic value with an increase of , and –(/)K () is twice as large as /K () for small values of . These results are in good agreement with experimental data.

Zusammenfassung Die magnetische Suszeptibilität eines Steines unter zunehmender uniachsigen Druckspannung () nimmt ab längs der Achse der Druckspannung und nimmt zu längs der Richtung senkrecht der Achse. Somit wird die magnetische Suszeptibilität des gedrückten Steines anisotrop.Die Abnahme der longitudinalen Suszeptibilität,K (), und die Zunahme der transversalen Suszeptibilität,K (), werden theoretisch von einem Modell eines Steines hergeleitet, das die uniachsige Anisotropie, die isotrope Magnetostriktion, und eine nichtbevorzugte Orientierung der magnetischen Minerals im Stein annimmt. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass mit einer Zunahme des ,K () gegen Null abnimmt, währendK () zunimmt und sich einem begrenzten asymtotitschen Wert nähert und, dass für kleine Werte des , –(/)K () zweimal so gross wie /K () ist. Diese Ergebnisse stimmen gut mit den Versuchangaben überein.
