利用地幔内反射波探测日本列岛下660 km不连续面的深度变化（英文）

通过分析发生在日本周边深源地震的宽频带波形资料,估计了日本列岛下的660km不连续面(d660)的深度变化。许多宽频带波形记录到了在d660顶部发生反射的sScS的后续波。sScS后续波与sScS间的到时差包含了震中与台站下方的d660深度变化的信息。我们成功地检测到这两种震相并将其分离,到目前为止还没有这方面研究的报道。我们由sScS与其后续波的到时差来求每个震中与记录台站下的d660的深度变化。研究结果显示,西部日本下的d660较深(大于660km),这可能是滞留在地幔转换带中的冷的太平洋板块造成的。在日本中部,d660变深,显然这不是太平洋板块本身造成的,因为日本中部已经位于该滞留板片的东部。日本东北部下的d660变得较浅,这可能是太平洋板片形状变化或下地幔热物质上涌形成局部热异常造成的。     

Shear wave anisotropy in D＂ region beneath the western Pacific

Using seismic shear phases from 47 Tonga-Fiji and its adjacent region events recorded by the CENC and IRIS, and from 26 northeast Asia and north Pacific events recorded by IRIS, we studied the shear wave anisotropy in D" region beneath the western Pacific utilizing the ScS-S differential travel time method and obtained the splitting time values between the radial and transverse components of each ScS wave corresponding to each core-mantle boundary (CMB) reflection point. We found that most shear waves involved horizontally polarized shear wave components traveling faster than vertically polarized shear wave components through the D" region. The splitting time values of ScS wave range from ?0.91 s to 3.21 s with an average value of 1.1 s. The strength of anisotropy varies from ?0.45% to 1.56% with an average value of 0.52%. The observations and analyses show that in the D" region beneath the western Pacific the lateral flow is expected to be dominant and the vertical transverse isotropy may be the main anisotropic structure. This structure feature may be explained by the shape preferred orientation of the CMB chemical reaction products or partial melt and the lattice preferred orientation of the lower mantle materials caused by the lateral flow at lowermost mantle.     

西太平洋下D"区的剪切波各向异性

利用来自汤加—斐济及周边地区发生的47次地震并由中国地震台网中心和IRIS台站记录到的数据,与来自东亚北部及北太平洋地区发生的26次地震并由IRIS台站记录到的数据, 使用ScS-S相对走时分析方法研究了西太平洋下D区的剪切波各向异性, 得到了核幔边界反射点上ScS波径向分量和横向分量的分裂时间, 并计算了D区的地震波各向异性强度. 发现ScS波通过西太平洋下D区时普遍呈现出径向分量走时大于横向分量走时的模式. ScS波的分裂时间值为-0.91~3.21s, 平均值为1.1 s; 各向异性强度值为-0.45%~1.56%, 平均值为0.52%. 观测和分析结果表明, 西太平洋下D区水平流应占支配地位,各向异性结构主要是具有垂直对称轴的横向各向同性介质. 形成这种结构的可能原因是地幔底部水平流导致的核幔边界反应产物或部分熔融物质的形状优选方向, 或下地幔物质的晶格优选方向.      

The S receiver functions: synthetics and data example

Recently, the S receiver function method has been successfully developed to identify upper mantle interfaces. S receiver functions have the advantage of being free of S -wave multiple reflections and can be more suitable than P receiver functions for studying mantle lithosphere. However, because of specific ray geometry and interference of diverse phases, the S receiver function method has some technical difficulties and limitations. We use synthetic seismograms to demonstrate the feasibility and limitations of S receiver functions for studying mantle structures. Full-wavefield seismograms were calculated using the reflectivity method and processed to generate synthetic S receiver functions for S , SKS and ScS waves. Results show that S receiver functions can be obtained from waveforms of S , SKS and ScS waves. The synthetic S receiver functions for these incident waves show S -to- P converted phases at all discontinuities in the crust and upper mantle. Useful ranges of epicentral distances for calculation of S receiver functions are: 55°–85° for S , >85° for SKS and 50°–75° for ScS waves. We apply both the S and P receiver function methods to data recorded at broadband station YKW3 in Northwest Canada. The study shows that there is significant agreement among different receiver function methods, and demonstrates the usefulness of S receiver functions for imaging the mantle lithosphere.     

核幔边界反射震相ScS对远震体波反演震源参数精度影响

研究表明,远震直达体波波形(P波、SH波)是有效反演中强地震(M5.5~7)震源参数的重要资料.但是当震中距较大时,核幔边界全反射波ScS会进入SH波反演窗口,其未被传统的基于体波震源参数反演算法所考虑,从而导致反演结果偏差.本文通过TEL3与fk方法合成理论地震图,使用Jackknifing统计方法定量测试了不同情况下ScS震相对远震体波反演的影响.结果表明,当反演数据震中距位于70°~90°时,ScS震相会造成震源质心深度1km左右、机制解最大8°的系统偏差;使用震中距40°~90°的SH波进行抽样反演,机制解最大系统偏差可达5°;SH波与P波联合反演可减少ScS震相引起的震源参数结果系统偏差.因此,ScS震相对基于射线理论的远震体波震源机制解反演所造成的误差是需要给予考虑的.

东南亚下方核幔边界D″层地震各向异性

本文利用中国国家数字地震台网(CDSN)和国际数字地震台网(FDSN)的宽频带远震资料,采用S和ScS震相剪切波差异分裂方法对东南亚下方核幔边界D″层地震各向异性进行研究.共获得了来自7个深震(400km)的24对高质量的S和ScS剪切波分裂参数,其中S震相的分裂参数与前人上地幔各向异性研究结果十分吻合,表明S震相观测结果反映了观测台站下方的上地幔各向异性.通过对上地幔各向异性校正后的波形数据进行进一步的分裂参数分析,最后得到了24个可靠的ScS剩余各向异性分裂参数.结果显示,在经度107°~112°范围内分裂参数均为空值(Null);而在该经度范围东西两侧区域,主要表现为明显分裂特征.这种分裂参数的分布指示了核幔边界D″层的各向异性特征的区域变化,我们推测这种变化可能与停滞在核幔边界的古特提斯和/或古太平洋俯冲板块相关.
