INVESTIGATIONS ON THE NONELASTIC BEHAVIOR OF THE UPPER MANTLE

Abstract

The attenuation of seismic waves in the crust and upper mantle has been studied by various techniques in order to determine the specific quality factor Q. Anelastic deficiencies of the propagation medium can only be separated after corrections are made for the effects of instrumental distortion, of the 'receiver crust' and the 'source crust', the lossless propagation through the mantle and the source mechanism.
