宽带海底地震仪的部署为调查海底沉积物厚度提供了机会,这对限制沉积物沉积很重要,也有助于随后的地震分析。小安的列斯群岛的挥发物回收(VoiLA)项目在2016年至2017年的15个月内,在小安的列斯群岛俯冲带的岛弧,前弧和后弧上部署了34个OBS。利用P-to-S(Ps)散射波的振幅和延迟时间(从地壳-沉积物边界的P-to-S(Ps)地震波转换得到)和Cascadia已有的关系,我们估算了每个OBS下的沉积物厚度。P-to-S(Ps)地震波的延迟时间从0.20 ± 0.06到3.55 ± 0.70 s不等,一般从北到南逐渐增加。在每种情况下,使用一个单一的沉积物和单晶地壳地球模型,我们令人满意的模型观测的8个OBS。在这些测站,我们发现沉积物厚度范围为0.43 ± 0.45至5.49 ± 3.23 km。为了与其他九个海洋观测站的观测结果相匹配,地球模型中需要分层沉积物和变厚度地壳,以考虑波浪对观测到的波至的干扰效应。我们在这些位置进行了双层沉积物和单层结晶地壳的反演,发现整体沉积物厚度为1.75公里(置信区域:1.45-2.02公里)至7.93公里(置信区域:6.32-11.05公里),通常比基于先前存在的关系的初始估计薄。我们发现我们的建模速度结构和速度结构之间的协议确定从VoiLA主动源地震折射实验在三个共同的位置。使用theps值和估计从VoiLA折射实验,我们提供了一个调整后的延迟时间和沉积物方程之间的关系为小安的列斯群岛。我们的新关系式是,其中以公里为单位的沉积物厚度和以秒为单位的延迟时间,这可能适用于具有厚海底沉积物的其他俯冲带环境。
Broad-band ocean-bottom seismometer (OBS) deployments present an opportunity to investigate the seafloor sediment thickness, which is important for constraining sediment deposition, and is also useful for subsequent seismological analyses. The Volatile Recycling in the Lesser Antilles (VoiLA) project deployed 34 OBSs over the island arc, fore- and backarc of the Lesser Antilles subduction zone for 15 months from 2016 to 2017. Using the amplitudes and delay times ofP-to-S(Ps) scattered waves from the conversion of teleseismic earthquakePwaves at the crust–sediment boundary and pre-existing relationships developed for Cascadia, we estimate sediment thickness beneath each OBS. The delay times of thePsphases vary from 0.20 ± 0.06 to 3.55 ± 0.70 s, generally increasing from north to south. Using a single-sediment and single-crystalline crust earth model in each case, we satisfactorily model the observations of eight OBSs. At these stations we find sediment thicknesses range from 0.43 ± 0.45 to 5.49 ± 3.23 km. To match the observations of nine other OBSs, layered sediment and variable thickness crust is required in the earth model to account for wave interference effects on the observed arrivals. We perform an inversion with a two-layer sediment and a single-layer crystalline crust in these locations finding overall sediment thicknesses of 1.75 km (confidence region: 1.45–2.02 km) to 7.93 km (confidence region: 6.32–11.05 km), generally thinner than the initial estimates based on the pre-existing relationships. We find agreement between our modelled velocity structure and the velocity structure determined from the VoiLA active-source seismic refraction experiment at the three common locations. Using thePsvalues and estimates from the VoiLA refraction experiment, we provide an adjusted relationship between delay time and sediment equations for the Lesser Antilles. Our new relationship is, whereHis sediment thickness in kilometres and dtis mean observedPsdelay time in seconds, which may be of use in other subduction zone settings with thick seafloor sediments.
