Examples from station ES34 Moho depth 65 km Vp/Vs 1.76 Poisson’s 0.26 Depth below receiver km Vp/Vs ratio Pms + Ppms + Psms Pms + Ppms Outline Receiver Function Method Mapping time to depth Basic Advanced applicationsa. Determining Vp/Vs and Moho depthb. Velocity modelingc. Determining layers of anisotropy and dip Receiver functions Receiver functions are used to isolate the response function that describes P-wave to S-wave conversions at horizontal velocity interfaces layers in the earth below the receiver hence the name receiver function  P-wave to S-wave conversions h - horizontal v - vertical w - whitening Frequency Domain Forward Model Convolution Generation of recorded signal from Source and Earth Response source * response signal * Inverse Model Deconvolution Using the signal and source to get the Earth Response function signal / source response / CASE OF NO NOISE! EVEN SMALL % OF NOISE CAN CREATE UNSTABLE SOLUTION – INVERSE THEORY and REGULARIZATIONTO SATBALIZE THE SOLUTION Real Receiver function 3C Seismic Record: P-wave is the source vertical P-wave + converted S-wave are signal isotropic-flat layer - radial Outline Receiver Function Method Mapping time to depth Basic Advanced applicationsa. Determining Vp/Vs and Moho depthb. Velocity modelingc. Determining layers of anisotropy and dip Move-out correction and Mapping time to depth ts tp Want to know the timing difference between the direct P arrival ts and the converted S arrival ts as a function of depth. This can be done if we know the velocity of the wave-front in the vertical and horizontal directions x z P-wave S-wave Move-out correction and Mapping time to depth ts tp Just a geometry problem! Tpds ts – tp 1/Vpx 1/Vpz P-wave S-wave Move-out correction and Mapping time to depth Just a geometry problem! The horizontal velocity is known, the rayparmeter - ‘p’ We need to know the P-velocity as a function of depth: Vp z And the ratio between Vp and V
