Advanced Computational Techniques in Regional Wave Studies

Abstract

The research performed under the contract during this period was directed toward verification of computational codes developed for surface wave analysis. A high frequency data set obtained during a refraction experiment across the Arabian shield was used to obtain shallow shear wave velocity and Q. Low shear wave Q values were obtained in the upper 500 meters of the shield. The inverted model succeeds very well in matching observed waveforms in their entirety. A distribution of computer software, Computer Programs in Seismology, has ben installed for use by researchers at the Center for Seismic Studies. These codes provide unique capabilities for work with regional seismic phases and surface waves.
