A Pilot Seismic Experiment to Determine the Feasibility of Mapping the Source of the Hawaiian Swell

9529707菲普斯·莫兰这个项目是一项试点远震面波研究，目的是绘制夏威夷海浪的来源图。在为期9个月的部署期间，一个由8台海底地震仪组成的阵列将收集环太平洋板块边界地震的瑞雷波频散数据。对这些数据的三维解释将给出夏威夷隆起之下的岩石圈和上软流层剪切速度结构的约束。如果这项先导实验成功，将建议进行更大规模的实验，以确定涌浪形成的三个假说中的哪一个是正确的。

9529707 Phipps Moran This project is a pilot teleseismic surface wave study with the goal of mapping the source of the Hawaiian swell. During a 9- month deployment an array of eight ocean-bottom seismometers will collect Rayleigh wave dispersion data from circum-Pacific plate bourdary earthquakes. A 3-D interpretation of these data will give constraints on the lithosphere and upper asthenosphere shear- velocity structure beneath the Hawaiian swell. If this pilot experiment is successful a larger experiment would be proposed to determine which of the three hypotheses for the formation of the swell is correct.
