Effects of Anisotropy Observed from Surface Waves

本研究的目的是分离对 地震面波极化的横向不均匀性和 太平洋的方位各向异性。 偏振 异常是检测各向异性的好工具。 结果 将绘制地图，看看各向异性效应是否与海洋有关。 地板年龄 这项技术的成功发展将是 对我们了解海洋各向异性的真实的贡献 地壳是一个重要的，但被忽视的影响，表面 波传播

The objective of this research is to separate the effects on seismic surface wave polarizations of lateral heterogeneity and azimuthal anisotropy in the Pacific Ocean. Polarization anomalies are a good tool for detecting anisotropy. The results will be mapped to see if anisotropy effects correlate to ocean floor age. The successful development of this technique would be a real contribution to our knowledge of anisotropy in the oceanic crust which is an important, but neglected, effect on surface wave propagation.
