Influence of Scattering on Seismic Waves

Abstract

Work on this contract examined two subjects, the analysis of seismic data using the NORESS array in southern Norway and the attenuation properties of the crust. This document consists of two preprints. The first, 'Phase velocity estimation of diffusely scattered waves deals with work at NORESS which was partly carried out under a previous contract, partly in conjunction with the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and partly under this contract. The second paper, 'A model for attenuation and scattering in the earth's crust', describes work on attenuation. Keywords: Coda waves; Seismic array analysis; Phase velocity; Rayleigh waves.
