Processing And Interpretation Of Electromagnetic Induction Array Data

The simultaneous nature of array data can be exploitedin electromagnetic induction studiesfor three general purposes.First, one or more reference sites can be usedto reduce bias, improve signal-to-noise ratios, and provide bettercontrol over source complications and coherent noisein estimates of MT impedances and otherEM transfer functions (TFs).Although a single good reference site can dramatically improveTF estimates, improvements due to multiple sites are often rather modest, because local noise is the limiting factor.Secondly, arrays allow for estimation of inter-station transfer functions, and maps of anomalous horizontal field variations. Relatively straightforward modifications to inversion codes wouldallow quantitative interpretation of these additionalconstraints on resistivity variations.Finally, with arrays it is possible to estimate the response of theEarth to a richer spectrum of external source excitations. In particular,the natural extension to the usual uniform source assumption implicit inthe MT method allows for three curl-free magnetic gradient sources.Quantitative interpretation of the response of a three-dimensionalEarth to these sources could provide additionalconstraints on large scale variations in crustal and uppermantle resistivity, and might help to overcome problemsdue to aliasing of near surface distortion in widely spaced MT data.

The nature of particle motion in regional seismograms and its utilization for phase identification

The particle motion of regional arrivals is frequently treated in automatic phase-recognition schemes as that appropriate to simple P or S waves incident on an elastic, laterally homogeneous half-space. This model implies that the motion in ' P -type' phases can be described in terms of a single, generalized signal process and ' S -type' phases in terms of two independent processes ( SV and SH ) and thus, all regional arrivals could be fully characterized by three components of motion. In this paper, we present anlyses of the particle-motion patterns of various regional arrivals recorded at the ARCESS array from closely spaced events in the Kola Peninsula. We have found that only Pn -particle motion, described in terms of two independent signal processes, can be reliably characterized by three-component recordings. On the other hand, the various regional arrivals following Pn , such as Pg and Sn and Lg , can only be poorly characterized on the basis of three-component recordings alone. The reason is that these arrivals must be described in terms of more than two independent generalized signal processes, at least three for Pg and Sn , and possibly up to five for Lg . Recognition of these phases will thus require the use of more sensors than signal processes in the observing sensor configuration, such as three-component sensors combined with a small tripartite array. We have investigated the feasibility of adaptive, automatic recognition of regional arrivials by a wavefield extrapolation scheme utilizing such a mini-array. The process, which appear to be promising, adaptively learns the particle-motion patterns of individual arrivals, including complex site-response functions, from examples of closely located regional events.

大孔径地震台阵噪声互相关函数中体波信号的研究——以ChinArray二期数据为例

本文利用ChinArray二期大孔径台阵677个台站2013年10月至2016年4月期间的垂直分量记录,计算了不同路径上的噪声互相关函数（Noise Cross-correlation Function,NCF）,观测到4~8 s和8~12 s频带内的NCF零时附近存在显著的高视速度信号.基于NCF的慢度聚束分析表明,这些信号由背景噪声中的远震P、PP和PKPbc波干涉产生,且以P波能量为主.位置聚束图像表明,P波类型的噪声源主要分布在北大西洋、北太平洋和南大洋凯尔盖朗深海高原,其位置对应于平均海浪波高较高的区域.同时,在阿拉斯加海岸及澳大利亚附近海域也存在P波噪声源.利用已识别的P波噪声源位置,计算了其在NCF中产生的干涉信号理论到时,结果与实际观测一致.     

Magnetotelluric survey across Singhbhum granite batholith

Magnetotelluric soundings have been carried out across the archaean terrain of Singhbhum granite batholith from Bangriposhi to Keonjhar for a distance of about 100 km. One-dimensional inversion models reveal that the depth of the moho varied between 23 and 40 km. The depth of the lithosphere asthenosphere boundary varied from 58 to 76 km. A zone of higher electrical conductivity detected at the base of the lower crust just above the moho is present along the entire profile. Signals within the range of 0.25 to 600 seconds, which crossed the coherency threshold of 0.8 to 0.9, could be stacked. Resistivity ranges of the crust mantle silicates below Singhbhum granite batholith vary over a wide range. Resistivity ranges are (i) 30,000–80,000 ohm for Singhbhum granite phase II, (ii) 2,000 to 9,000 ohm-m for Singhbhum granite phase III, (iii) 250 to 2,200 ohm-m for lower crust (iv) 3,000 to 47,000 ohm for the upper mantle and (v) 200 to 2300 ohm-m for the asthenosphere. Sharp break in electrical resistivity at the (i) upper crust-lower crust (ii) lower crust upper mantle and (iii) lithosphere-asthenosphere boundary is obtained along the entire profile. Signals could see up to 100 km below the granite batholith. Singhbhum granite phase II and III could be demarcated on the basis of resistivity. Low resistive zones in the lower crust and upper mantle might have formed due to (i) water (ii) combined effect of water and carbon and (iii) high temperature and partial melt.     

Ivrea seismic array: a study of continental crust and upper mantle

A seismic-array study of the continental crust and upper mantle in the Ivrea-Yerbano and Strona-Ceneri zones (northwestern Italy) is presented. A short-period network is used to define crustal P - and S -wave velocity models from earthquakes. The analysis of the seismic-refraction profile LOND of the CROP-ECORS project provided independent information and control on the array-data interpretation.
Apparent-velocity measurements from both local and regional earthquakes, and time-term analysis are used to estimate the velocity in the lower crust and in the upper mantle. The geometry of the upper-lower crust and Moho boundaries is determined from the station delay times.
We have obtained a three-layer crustal seismic model. The P -wave velocity in the upper crust, lower crust and upper mantle is 6.1±0.2 km s⁻¹, 6.5±0.3 km s⁻¹ and 7.8±0.3 km s⁻¹ respectively. Pronounced low-velocity zones in the upper and lower crust are not observed. A clear change in the velocity structure between the upper and lower crust is documented, constraining the petrological interpretation of the Ivrea-type reflective lower continental crust derived from small-scale petrophysical data. Moreover, we found a V _P/ V _S ratio of 1.69±0.04 for the upper crust and 1.82±0.08 for the lower crust and upper mantle. This is consistent with the structural and petrophysical differences between a compositionally uniform and seismically transparent upper crust and a layered and reflective lower crust. The thickness of the lower crust ranges from about 8 km in front of the Ivrea body (ARVO, Arvonio station) in the northern part of the array to a maximum of about 15 km in the southern part of the array. The lower crust reaches a minimum depth of 5 km below the PROV (Provola) station.
