  1. Surface wave tomography：1. dispersion or phase based approaches(part A) Huajian Yao USTC April 19, 2013

  2. Surface waves • Surface wave propagates along the surface of the earth, mainly sensitive to the crust and upper mantle (Vs) structure From IRIS

  3. Love and Rayleigh waves Generated by constructive interference between postcritically reflected body waves

  4. Surface waves: evanescent waves Decreasing wave amplitudes as depth increases Wave displacement patterns in a layer over half space Wavelength increases Generally, wavespeed increases as the depth increases. Therefore, longer period (wavelength) surface waves tend to propagate faster.

  5. Surface wave dispersion: frequency-dependent propagation speed (phase or group speed) Group V: Energy propagation speed

  6. Phase or group velocity dispersion curves(PREM model)

  7. Phase or group velocity depth sensitivity kernels Usually 80-90% importance is the 1-D depth sensitivity kernel

  8. Phase or group velocity depth sensitivity kernels fundamental mode Rayleigh wave Love wave dU/dVSV dc/dVSH dc/dVSV

  9. Rayleigh wave phase velocity depth sensitivity kernels at shorter periods: also quite sensitive to Vp and density at shallow depth (A) 0.15 Hz, (B) 0.225 Hz, (C) 0.3 Hz.

  10. Rayleigh wave phase velocity depth sensitivity kernels: An image view

  11. Surface wave tomography from dispersion data: a two-step approach • 1. Construct period-dependent 2-D phase/group velocity maps from many dispersion measurements • 2. Point-wise (iterative) inversion of dispersion data at each grid point for 1-D Vs model; combine all the 1-D Vs models to build up the final 3-D Vs model Now the global search approaches are widely used for this step due to very non-linear situation of this problem.

  12. Popular approaches for surface wave tomography (Step 1) (1). Single-station group velocity approach (event  station) (2). Two-station phase velocity approach (event  station1  station 2) (3). Single-station phase velocity approach (1) U = D/tg (2) c = (D2 – D1)/Δt

  13. (1). Single-station group velocity approach frequency-time analysis (matched filter technique) to measure group velocity dispersion curves Widely used in regional surface wave tomography Possible errors: (1) off great-circle effect, (2) mislocations of earthquake epicenters, (3) source origin time errors and (4) the finite dimension and duration of source process. (2 – 4): source term errors Ritzwoller and Levshin, 1998

  14. Eurasia surface wave group velocity tomography Ritzwoller and Levshin, 1998

  15. Teleseismic surface waves CTS (20 – 120 s) Yao et al., 2006,GJI (2). Two-station phase velocity approach (very useful for regional array surface wave tomography) Narrow bandpass filtered waveform cross-correlation  travel time differences between stations almost along the same great circle path (circle skipping problem!) Advantage: can almost remove “source term errors”

  16. SW China Rayleigh wave phase velocity tomography from the two-station method Yao et al., 2006,GJI

  17. (3). Single-station phase velocity approach Observed Seismogram: Theoretical reference Seismogram from a spherical Earth model Propagation phase

  18. Perturbation Theory Spherical harmonics representation of the 3-D model circle skipping problem at shorter periods! Ekstrom et al, 1997

  19. Example: Global phase velocity tomography (Ekstrom et al., 1997)

  20. Inversion of Vs from point-wise dispersion curves (Step 2) • Iterative linearize inversion • 2. non-linear inversion or global searching methods Simulated annealing, Genetic algorithm Monte Carlo method, Neighborhood algorithm

  21. Iterative linearize inversion: example The results may depend on the initial velocity model. Better to give appropriate prior constraints, e.g., Moho depth.

  22. Nonlinear inversion: example using neighborhood algorithm (Yao et al. 2008) Neighborhood search http://rses.anu.edu.au/~malcolm/na/na.html (Sambridge, 1999a, b)

  23. Bayesian Analysis of the model ensemble Posterior mean: 1-D marginal PPDF 2-D marginal PPDF 1-D PPDF: resolution & standard error of model parameter; 2-D PPDF: correlation between two model parameters
