Quantifying Source Excitation and Path Effects for High Frequency Regional Waves
Abstract
This research is directed at investigation of regional wave excitation and propagation in complicated crustal waveguides using numerical simulations. The report covers three major approaches: (1) A finite-difference plus slowness analysis method for investigating near-source Lg-wave excitation and partitioning; (2) The half-space screen method for simulating high frequency Lg-wave propagation; and (3) A boundaty element method for calculating Lg-wave propagation in the crustal waveguide with uneven surface topography.
