Re-evaluation of focal depths and source mechanisms of selected earthquakes in the Afar depression 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
We present a stepwise inversion procedure to assess the focal depth and model earthquake source complexity of seven moderate-sized earthquakes (6.2 > M w > 5.1) that occurred in the Afar depression and the surrounding region. The Afar depression is a region of highly extended and intruded lithosphere, and zones of incipient seafloor spreading. A time-domain inversion of full moment tensor was performed to model direct P and SH waves of teleseismic data. Waveform inversion of the selected events estimated focal depths in the range of 17–22 km, deeper than previously published results. This suggests that the brittle–ductile transition zone beneath parts of the Afar depression extends more than 22 km. The effect of near-source velocity structure on the moment tensor elements was also investigated and was found to respond little to the models considered. Synthetic tests indicate that the size of the estimated, non-physical, non-isotropic source component is rather sensitive to incorrect depth estimation. The dominant double couple part of the moment tensor solutions for most of the events indicates that their occurrence is mainly due to shearing. Parameters associated with source directivity (rupture velocity and azimuth) were also investigated. Re-evaluation of the analysed events shows predominantly normal faulting consistent with the relative plate motions in the region. 相似文献

3-D linearized scattering of surface waves and a formalism for surface wave holography 总被引:2,自引:1,他引:2
Roel Snieder 《Geophysical Journal International》1986,84(3):581-605
Summary. Scattering of surface waves by lateral heterogeneities is analysed in the Born approximation. It is assumed that the background medium is either laterally homogeneous, or smoothly varying in the horizontal direction. A dyadic representation of the Green's function simplifies the theory tremendously. Several examples of the theory are presented. The scattering and mode conversion coefficients are shown for scattering of surface waves by the root of an Alpine-like crustal structure. Furthermore a 'great circle theorem'in a plane geometry is derived. A new proof of Snell's law is given for surface wave scattering by a quarter-space. It is shown how a stationary phase approximation can be used to simplify the Fourier synthesis of the scattered wave in the time domain. Finally a procedure is suggested to do 'surface wave holography'. 相似文献
