When an earthquake occurs, some of the energy it releases is turned into heat within the earth. Much of the motivation for joint inversion derives from two factors. Surface waves are the slowest moving of all waves, so the most intense shaking usually comes at the end of an earthquake. /Length 54 0 R >> • Surface waves propagate along a boundary surface.

In view of its advantage during the study of the 2004 Sumatra-Andaman island earthquake (Ammon et al., 2005), we had developed a quick algorithm to routinely monitor global large earth-quakes by joint inverting body and surface waves. %PDF-1.5 The first kind of body wave is the P wave or primary wave.This is the fastest kind of seismic wave, and, consequently, the first to 'arrive' at a seismic station. Body waves are of two types: Primary waves (also called P-waves, or pressure waves) and Secondary waves (S-waves, or shear waves). waves can travel through the earth's inner layers, but surface waves can only move along the surface of the planet like ripples on water. /Annots [ 20 0 R 21 0 R 22 0 R 23 0 R 24 0 R 25 0 R 26 0 R 27 0 R 28 0 R 29 0 R 30 0 R 31 0 R 32 0 R 33 0 R 34 0 R 35 0 R 36 0 R 37 0 R 38 0 R 39 0 R ] Body and surface waves Jascha Roedel, winter semester 2015/16 The term wave describes the spatial propagation of an oscillation or disturbance through a medium such as solid bodies, liquids or gases. endobj 11 0 obj /FormType 1 a. travel more rapidly than body waves b. produce most of the damage to buildings during earthquakes c. are the first waves initially produced in an earthquake d. are the first waves to arrive at a seismograph station after an earthquake ____ 65. /Shading << /Sh << /ShadingType 2 /ColorSpace /DeviceRGB /Domain [0.0 7.99997] /Coords [0 0.0 0 7.99997] /Function << /FunctionType 3 /Domain [0.0 7.99997] /Functions [ << /FunctionType 2 /Domain [0.0 7.99997] /C0 [0.875 0.75 0.625] /C1 [0.4375 0.375 0.3125] /N 1 >> << /FunctionType 2 /Domain [0.0 7.99997] /C0 [0.4375 0.375 0.3125] /C1 [0.4375 0.375 0.3125] /N 1 >> ] /Bounds [ 3.99998] /Encode [0 1 0 1] >> /Extend [false false] >> >> ��5�Z!YV�,U��;��d&�_�@�Azxx��33��o��{�� 篷��?��o�}��z��-��x�i|�>�[�c��~����_�ߎ/��*}��y�s��yh��^�p#��_�g��m��|ϓeW��b��7��R��vy/-}�r��7��VF��w�;�+(3��|��|�y\��^��Aw��뼑7�5u�=o��/��^��K��͏��J9�{;#��0�ϓ��8_��c��@[#O.f��v=/�3�\�z"��W��o��r�sȥ}�yM1��Q{�!c{z�V��g��7��>��c�F�>62�9�ӽ��8�Θü�*�'�N��o�9`s�w��1�\��C_b+7�/��`�@��8�yc��ہ1��y��|��G��lp�$��Zϴ�9�u��g�9ͳG��8[��2��v>�vB�ٽ=��8+L��Q�;6�5�n��@�?�l�cF��덽��s��g��U�ٲ)5̩Չ��c��Г+O0��u��C¢΋��3��\�s>y�ɜ�`?py.~�o؈��?��*@݁��t�ֵ��s��ɸ��,��J��(�4 �wO#��V��꿾��0J:K?��/�w��3��3�z�,�:�Y�. 15 0 obj << endobj <>>> Surfaces wave energy (amplitudes) decay with distance as 1 / r Body wave energy decays as 1 / r2 So at a given distance, which will have more energy ? how waves propagate from an earthquake hypocenter to seismic stations across the globe. /Subtype /Form /BBox [0 0 16 16] Unlike body waves, surface waves are strongly dispersed in the Earth, having phase and group velocities that depend on frequency. >> endobj /FormType 1 Seismic waves can be classified into two basic types: body waves which travel through the Earth and surface waves, which travel along the Earth's surface. formulation used for body waves, except that the surface wave ‘‘ray’’ has a sensitivity that is very wide in depth (Figure 1).
