OnP F and other phases in the early part of seismogram

Summary It has been found that when seismic energy propagates along the surface of the homogeneous crust beside usual Rayleigh waves, it produces certain instability in layers through which it propagates. In the light of this instability, a type of motion corresponding to longitudinal wave will be prominent in horizontal component compared to the vertical component; while transverse wave will be prominent in the vertical component but weak in the horizontal component, a contradiction with the existing knowledge. This has been identified withP _F phase. On taking the medium of propagation as slightly heterogeneous which allows existence of low velocity layer, a few larger number of such instabilities have been found. Velocity equation for Rayleigh waves for such media reveals existence of different velocities corresponding to vertical and horizontal components. Table for these velocities has been furnished.     

Earth-flattening procedure for the propagation of Rayleigh wave

Summary The propagation of Rayleigh waves in the earth is investigated in the period range of about 60 to 590 seconds. It has been shown that a set of earth-flattening approximations can be used to transform the heterogeneous spherical earth into plane-layered earth on which the dispersion computations by matrix method can be applied effectively to describe the fundamental mode of spheroidal oscillations involving the crust and the mantly only.     

Phase velocities of Rayleigh waves in southeastern Europe and Eastern Mediterranean Sea

Summary Measurements of phase velocities along several paths in southeastern Europe and along one path in the Eastern Mediterranean have been made in the period range 15 to 60 sec for the fundamental mode of Rayleigh waves. The data are fitted by layered models of the crust and upper mantle. The crust in the Balkan peninsula is thicker than the normal continental crust by about 10 km while the crust in the northern Aegean Sea has the normal continental thickness. The existence of a low shear velocity layer of thickness equal to 140 km with its top in a depth of 90 km interpretes the data well for the longer periods. The data for the eastern Mediterranean show that this region has an oceanic character. The mean crustal thickness in this area is of the order of 20 km.     

On the interaction of rayleigh surface waves with structures

A two-dimensional soil-structure interaction analysis is carried out for transient Rayleigh surface waves that are incident on a structure. The structure is modelled by a three-degree of freedom rigid basemat to which is attached a flexible superstructure, modelled by a single mass-spring system. The structural responses to a given Rayleigh wave train are compared with those that would have been obtained if the free-field acceleration-time history had been applied as a normally incident body wave. The results clearly exhibit the [frequency filtering] effects of the rigid basemat on the incident Rayleigh waves. It is shown that, if seismic excitation of a structure is, in fact, due to Rayleigh surface waves, then an analysis assuming normally incident body waves can considerably over-estimate structural response, both at basemat level for horizontal and vertical motions and for vertical oscillations of the superstructure. However, in the examples considered here, relatively large rocking effects were induced by the Rayleigh waves, thus giving maximum horizontal accelerations in the superstructure that were of comparable magnitude for Rayleigh and normally incident body waves.     

On the influence of the horizontal component of the earth's rotation on long period waves

Abstract

A general linearized wave equation for a stratified rotating fluid is derived and applied to obtain a dispersion relation for waves of short latitudinal extent in a thin shell of fluid. Long period wave solutions in three ocean models are compared: (1) for a stratified ocean with both components of the rotation vector; (2) for a stratified ocean without the horizontal component of rotation, and finally, (3) for a homogeneous ocean without horizontal rotation. The inclusion of the horizontal component of the Earth's rotation is found to have no noticeable effect on the dispersion relation of long period waves; its only influence is the introduction of a vertical phase shift in the motions. The origin of this phase shift is found in the tendency of the motions to satisfy the Taylor-Proudman theorem. The phase shift is of possible oceanographic relevance only for bottom-trapped buoyancy waves in a relatively weak stratification. The differences between the three ocean models are also discussed with the help of graphs of the numerically integrated dispersion relations. The relative influences of shell thinness and stratification in inhibiting the influence of the horizontal component of the earth's rotation are also briefly discussed.     

基于中国内陆大孔径地震台阵的Rayleigh面波噪声源分布特征研究

Rayleigh面波地震背景噪声成像技术已被成功运用到全球范围不同尺度的地球内部结构的研究中,并以背景噪声场是时空均匀分布为前提假设.然而真实的噪声源分布的时空非均匀性将导致经验格林函数提取存在偏差,最终影响噪声成像结果的精准性.近年来,噪声源分布特征研究逐步成为提高噪声成像精准度、深化地震背景噪声成像的关键问题.本文利用频率-波束域分析法对中国西北地区的一个大孔径台阵（WuTan Array,简称WTA）在2014全年的垂直分量连续记录做了聚束分析,研究了Rayleigh波噪声源分布特征.结果显示：WTA台阵成功探测到了10~20 s周期范围的来自于全球不同方位的Rayleigh波噪声信号,其源区分布具有明显的季节变化特征：冬季集中分布在北大西洋方位,而夏季则转为印度洋方位噪声信号最强.此外,Rayleigh波噪声源区空间分布还表现出一定的频率依赖性,即在较低频段（0.0488~0.0635 Hz）在北大西洋、北太平洋、印度洋及西太平洋四个方位均有分布;而在频率较高频段（0.0928~0.1025 Hz）则集中分布于西太平洋方位.Rayleigh波噪声源时空分布特征和频率依赖性与海洋活动本身的季节性变化和频谱特征有关.并初步推测本文所观测到的Rayleigh波是由加剧的海浪运动直接作用于海岸、大陆架或海底而激发产生的第一类地脉动噪声信号.

     

陕西及邻区瑞雷波相速度层析成像

本文利用布设于陕西及其邻区的喜马拉雅二期流动地震台阵和区内的固定地震台网共计257个台站于2014—2015年记录到的连续波形资料,采用基于图像分析的相速度提取方法,得到了7 185条瑞雷波相速度频散曲线,反演获得了周期为5—40 s的瑞雷波相速度分布图像,其最小分辨率约为20 km。结果表明:各周期瑞雷波相速度图像具有明显的横向不均匀性,能够较好地反映出地壳及上地幔顶部的地质构造特征。周期为5—10 s的瑞雷波相速度分布与地表地质构造密切相关,且高低速异常的分界线与地块边界高度吻合;周期为15 s的瑞雷波相速度分布图像显示出,大部分断陷沉积盆地（渭河、天水等盆地）表现为低速异常,表明此区域的沉积层厚度较大;周期为20—40 s的相速度分布则受地壳厚度影响较大,青藏高原东北缘始终呈现出明显的低速异常,鄂尔多斯地块中、下地壳以高速异常为主,但周期为20—30 s的相速度低速异常区分布于青藏高原沿六盘山逆冲褶皱带并一直延伸至鄂尔多斯内部,由此推测该区域地下介质中存在一定程度的物质交换和融合。      

Attenuation of Love-waves in the low-period range near volcanic island margin

Summary Generally Love-wave is absent in the corresponding spectrum of the phase in the low period range when the path tranversed is oceanic. ButOliver, Ewing & Press were able to observe this phase in seismograms of volcanic islands like Honolulu, Bermuda and others. Here, it has been attempted to explain why these waves could be recorded at volcanic stations and not elsewhere. It has been supposed that the lava settles down to form a transversely isotropic layer. Green's Function technique has been adopted to solve the problem of propagation of Love-waves through a crust whose thickness gradually decreases towards the ocean.     

利用地震转换波探测地壳、上地幔构造试验

当远震P波通过地壳、上地幔速度界面时,除了产生PP型折射波,还产生一系列PS型折射转换波.这类PS转换波与初至P波之间的到时差,可用来测定地壳和上地幔构造. 转换波测深法首次在我国鲁西夏津—高唐地区和京西昌平地区进行了试验应用.为提高转换波震相识别的可靠性,在资料分析中采用了偏振滤波的方法.工作结果获得了上述两地区的深部构造剖面图.转换波法与爆炸地震法所得结果之对比表明,两者的主要界面基本一致.     

我国境内瑞利波的相速度

本文利用新不列颠岛两个地震在十二个基本台站所记录到的瑞利波,计算了我国不同地区的相速度.着重讨论鉴别和对比不同台站记录中同一震相的方法.在大部分台站的记录中,见到有周期约为35秒的相位,和后面的位相比较,它的周期较大,振幅较小.波形的对比对初步鉴别震相有很大的帮助.详细的震相对比是根据周期随距离变化的规律和各震相到时的规律.两个地震所得的相速度很符合.计算的结果表明:利用三台计算相速度时,如果射线的路程差别较大,海洋路程的校正是不能忽略的.因为有关我国地壳构造的资料还很少,我们所得的瑞利波相速度只能与普瑞司修正后非洲大陆的相速度理论相比较,由此得到我国不同地区的地壳厚度.这样所得的厚度,虽然不能视为最后的结果,但是它们仍然表现与主要地质单元之间有密切的联系.

Pure path attenuation measurements of long-period Rayleigh waves across the Tibet Plateau

A method is presented to derive pure path attenuation coefficients of Rayleigh waves, in the period range 30–90 s, across the Tibet Plateau, using events located within Tibet and observed at teleseismic distances. This method uses data from 2 events and 2 stations simultaneously, these being aligned along a great circle path, and, for relatively small events, is practically free of errors due to inaccurate knowledge of the source radiation patterns.In spite of large standard errors due to the impossibility of separating effects of anclasticity from spurious effects on amplitudes such as scattering or multipathing, results seem to indicate an anelastic model of the crust and upper mantle compatible with shear velocity models derived independently, with a thick crust and in particular, a thick high Q lid and thin low Q zone consistent with a shield like upper mantle beneath Tibet.

Seismic anisotropy of the Pacific Ocean inferred from long-period surface waves dispersion

The dispersion of surface (Rayleigh and Love) waves in the period range 40–300 s along a large number of paths, allows the estimation of both the azimuthal anisotropy and the shear-wave polarization anisotropy. The regional dispersion is determined, taking into account simultaneously its dependence with age and an azimuthal factor. The Pacific Ocean has been divided into 5 regions for Rayleigh waves and into 3 regions for Love waves. This partition discriminates the regions of extreme age which show a fast variation of dispersion with age, from the regions of intermediate age where the variation is weak. A variation of ～ 2% of Rayleigh-wave group velocity with the azimuth of the path, measured with respect to the direction of spreading is displayed, up to very long-period. On the contrary, the azimuthal anisotropy for Love waves is difficult to resolve. For Rayleigh waves, the present-day direction of plate motion seems to agree best with the direction of maximum velocity. On the other hand, the isotropic inversion of the regional dispersion curves indicates, except for young regions, a discrepancy between Rayleigh-wave and Love-wave models. With this hypothesis, SH-velocities are higher than SV-velocities for the regions older than 23 Ma, down to a depth of 300 km, which is indicative of the presence of polarization anisotropy. The latter, very weak for the young part of the ocean, increases with age and reaches 7%, for the oldest region.
