In this paper, we implemented the Levenberg-Marquardt (LM) and very fast simulated annealing (VFSA) algorithms to recover induced polarization effects from central loop transient electromagnetic (TEM) data. To incorporate the IP effect in the TEM response, we used the Cole-Cole parameterization, maximum phase angle (MPA), maximum imaginary conductivity (MIC), and Jeffrey transform of Cole-Cole parameters. The result of 1D forward calculation and inversion of synthetic TEM data revealed that the Cole-Cole parametrization is more robust and reliable than MPA, MIC, and Jeffrey transform, and that the synthetic data were well fitted and IP parameters well recovered using this model. However, the incorporation of the IP effect leads to a highly non-linear and non-unique inverse problem which requires an accurate starting model, especially for LM inversion. To evaluate the performance of our algorithm using field data, we carried out a 1D inversion of TEM data acquired along a profile that traverses a waste site located near Cologne, Germany. Furthermore, to obtain a priori information and validate the result of TEM data modeling, we conducted an electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) and time-domain IP (TDIP) survey along the TEM profile. A 2D inversion was used to retrieve the Cole-Cole parameters as input for TEM interpretation. By including the IP information, the TEM field data can be explained quantitively, and a consistent and improved interpretation of the waste body is achieved.","PeriodicalId":12519,"journal":{"name":"Geophysical Journal International","volume":"39 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2024-07-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141584775","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Scaling of the geomagnetic secular variation time scale","authors":"Yue-Kin Tsang, Chris A Jones","doi":"10.1093/gji/ggae234","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1093/gji/ggae234","url":null,"abstract":"Summary The ratio of the magnetic power spectrum and the secular variation spectrum measured at the Earth’s surface provides a time scale τsv(l) as a function of spherical harmonic degree l. τsv is often assumed to be representative of time scales related to the dynamo inside the outer core and its scaling with l is debated. To assess the validity of this surmise and to study the time variation of the geomagnetic field $dot{B}$ inside the outer core, we introduce a magnetic time-scale spectrum τ(l, r) that is valid for all radius r above the inner core and reduces to the usual τsv at and above the core–mantle boundary (CMB). We study τ in a numerical geodynamo model. At the CMB, we find that τ ∼ l−1 is valid at both the large and small scales, in agreement with previous numerical studies on τsv. Just below the CMB, the scaling undergo a sharp transition at small l. Consequently, in the interior of the outer core, τ exhibits different scaling at the large and small scales, specifically, the scaling of τ becomes shallower than l−1 at small l. We find that this transition at the large scales stems from the fact that the horizontal components of the magnetic field evolve faster than the radial component in the interior. In contrast, the magnetic field at the CMB must match onto a potential field, hence the dynamics of the radial and horizontal magnetic fields are tied together. The upshot is τsv becomes unreliable in estimating time scales inside the outer core. Another question concerning τ is whether an argument based on the frozen-flux hypothesis can be used to explain its scaling. To investigate this, we analyse the induction equation in the spectral space. We find that away from both boundaries, the magnetic diffusion term is negligible in the power spectrum of $dot{B}$. However, $dot{B}$ is controlled by the radial derivative in the induction term, thus invalidating the frozen-flux argument. Near the CMB, magnetic diffusion starts to affect $dot{B}$ rendering the frozen-flux hypothesis inapplicable. We also examine the effects of different velocity boundary conditions and find that the above results apply for both no-slip and stress-free conditions at the CMB.","PeriodicalId":12519,"journal":{"name":"Geophysical Journal International","volume":"10 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2024-07-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141568124","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, achieving high-resolution seismic modelling requires substantial computing and storage resources, resulting in a considerable computational cost. To enhance computational efficiency and performance, recent heterogeneous computing platforms, such as Nvidia Graphics Processing Units (GPUs), natively support half-precision floating-point numbers (FP16). FP16 operations can privide faster calculation speed, lower storage requirements and greater performance enhancement over single-precision floating-point numbers (FP32), thus providing significant benefits for seismic modelling. Nevertheless, the inherent limitation of fewer 16-bit representations in FP16 may lead to severe numerical overflow, underflow, and floating-point errors during computation. In this study, to ensure stable wave equation solutions and minimize the floating-point errors, we employ a scaling strategy to adjust the computation of FP16 arithmetic operations. For optimal GPU floating-point performance, we implement a 2-way single instruction multiple data (SIMD) within the floating-point units (FPUs) of CUDA cores. Moreover, we implement an earthquake simulation solver for FP16 operations based on curvilinear grid finite-difference method (CGFDM) and perform several earthquake simulations. Comparing the results of wavefield data with the standard CGFDM using FP32, the errors introduced by FP16 are minimal, demonstrating excellent consistency with the FP32 results. Performance analysis indicates that FP16 seismic modelling exhibits a remarkable improvement in computational efficiency, achieving a speedup of approximately 1.75 and reducing memory usage by half compared to the FP32 version.","PeriodicalId":12519,"journal":{"name":"Geophysical Journal International","volume":"20 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2024-07-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141568172","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In addition, with noisy CCFs, it is difficult to extract relatively weak signals such as body waves. In this study, we propose to use local attributes to improve the SNRs of ambient noise CCFs, which allows us to enhance the quality of CCFs for stations with limited acquisition duration. Two local attributes: local cross-correlation and local similarity, are used in this study. The local cross-correlation allows us to extend the dimensionality of daily CCFs with computational costs similar to global cross-correlation. Taking advantage of this extended dimensionality, the local similarity is then used to measure non-stationary similarity between the extended daily CCFs with a reference trace, which enables us to design better stacking weights to enhance coherent features and attenuate incoherent background noises. Ambient noise recorded by several broadband stations from the USArray in North Texas and Oklahoma, the Superior Province Rifting EarthScope Experiment in Minnesota and Wisconsin and a high-frequency nodal array deployed in the northern Los Angeles basin are used to demonstrate the performance of the proposed approach for improving the SNR of CCFs.","PeriodicalId":12519,"journal":{"name":"Geophysical Journal International","volume":"33 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2024-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141546896","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We explore a wide model parameter space, such as different values of Clapeyron slope and density change across 660 km, density and viscosity of the thermochemical piles at the core-mantle boundary (CMB), internal heat generation rate, and model initiation age. We also investigate the effects of different strengths of a weak layer below 660 km and weaker asthenosphere and slabs. Our results suggest that slab structures at different subduction zones are sensitive to the viscosity of the asthenosphere, strength of slabs, values of Clapeyron slope and the density and viscosity of the thermochemical piles, while different internal heat generation rates do not affect the slab structures. We find that with a moderately weak asthenosphere (1020 Pas) and strong slabs, the predicted slab structures are consistent with the tomography models, and the observed geoid is also matched well. Moreover, our models successfully reproduce the degree-2 structure of the lower mantle beneath Africa and the Pacific, also known as Large Low Shear Velocity provinces (LLSVPs). A moderate Clapeyron slope of -2.5 MPa/K at 660 km aids in slab stagnation while higher values result in massive slab accumulation at that depth, ultimately leading to slab avalanches. We also find that the convective patterns in the thermal and thermochemical cases with slightly denser LLSVPs are similar, although the geoid amplitudes are lower for the latter. However, with more dense LLSVPs, the slabs cannot perturb them and no plumes are generated. Plumes arise as thermal instabilities from the edges of the LLSVPs, when cold and viscous slabs perturb them. While our predicted plume locations are consistent with the observed hotspot locations, matching the plume structures in tomography models is difficult. These plumes are essential in fitting the finer features of the observed geoid. In longer-duration models, more voluminous subducted material reaches the CMB, which tends to erode the LLSVPs significantly, and yields a poor fit to the observed geoid. Our results suggest that with the presence of a thin, moderately weak layer below 660 km, a slightly dense LLSVP, and Clapeyron slope of -2.5 MPa/K, the velocity anomalies in seismic tomography and the long-wavelength geoid can be matched well. One of the limitations of our models is that the assimilated plate motion history may be too short to overcome arbitrary initial conditions effects. Also, assimilated true plate velocities in our models may not represent the true convective vigor of the Earth.","PeriodicalId":12519,"journal":{"name":"Geophysical Journal International","volume":"90 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2024-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141508208","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Linear arrays are usually adopted in urban environments for their convenience and efficiency. However, the distribution of noise sources in densely populated urban areas varies rapidly in time and space, making it challenging to estimate accurate dispersion spectra using a linear array. To solve this problem, we propose a polarization analysis-based azimuthal correction method. We first obtain the azimuth of each segment by calculating the correlation coefficient of three-component ambient noise data. The normalized correlation coefficient is then applied for quality control to select reliable segments. For selected segments, the overestimated velocity caused by directional sources are corrected to obtain accurate dispersion spectra. A synthetic test is conducted to demonstrate the feasibility of our method. Compared with the dispersion spectra obtained without any correction, the dispersion spectra obtained following the suggested scheme are more consistent with the theoretical dispersion curves. Two real-world examples at crossroads show the superiority of the proposed technique in obtaining higher-resolution dispersion energy and more accurate phase velocities. In addition, our approach can attenuate the artifacts and improve the dispersion measurements.","PeriodicalId":12519,"journal":{"name":"Geophysical Journal International","volume":"147 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2024-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141508207","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To accurately extract a priori clustering information, we use density peak clustering (DPC) rather than fuzzy c-means (FCM). The number and centres of resistivity and shear-wave velocity a priori clusters are extracted by DPC and then used to guide the joint inversion with the GFCM clustering coupling of ERT and ANSW data. Synthetic and field data are used to evaluate the flow and algorithm of DPC-GFCM clustering joint inversion. The results of synthetic examples show that the models recovered by the DPC-GFCM clustering joint inversion are nearly the same as the true models and are more accurate than those inverted using individual inversion and FCM-GFCM clustering joint inversion. In the field case, the depths of the stratigraphic interfaces shown in the resistivity and shear-wave velocity models inverted by DPC-GFCM clustering joint inversion are nearly consistent with those from the drilling data. In contrast, the strata recovered by the individual inversion and FCM-GFCM clustering joint inversion significantly differ from the drilling results. Both the synthetic and field examples verify the effectiveness of the DPC-GFCM clustering coupling method used for the joint inversion of ERT and ANSW data acquired from the near surface with strong heterogeneity.

This study examined the spatial variation of the stress field around Türkiye better to understand the generation process of this event. We first combined focal mechanisms around Türkiye, created a dataset consisting of 2984 focal mechanisms, and conducted stress tensor inversion. The results showed that the maximum compressional axis near the EAFZ was oriented north-south and slightly varied along the strike. Moreover, the relative magnitude of north-south compressional stress gradually increases from south to north, and the stress regime changes from a normal fault stress regime to a strike-slip fault regime. The stress change caused by the Mw 7.8 mainshock does not explain this lateral pattern, implying that this stress regime transition existed before the mainshock. This suggests that shear stress on the EAFZ was low in this southern segment because it was unfavourably oriented to the regional stress field. Previous studies have reported that the Mw 7.8 mainshock rupture started at a splay fault, first propagated through the central and northern segments and then backpropagated with a time delay toward the southern segment, where it caused a significant but relatively small slip. The preexisting along-strike shear stress variation on the fault may have contributed to the smaller and delayed coseismic slip in the southern segment than in the central and northern segments. Moreover, the mainshock rupture possibly caused stress rotation locally near the central segment where the magnitudes of the vertical and north-south compressional stresses were almost equal.","PeriodicalId":12519,"journal":{"name":"Geophysical Journal International","volume":"121 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2024-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141514190","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We applied two ensemble decision tree algorithms – Random Forest (RanFor) and eXtreme Gradient Boost (XGBoost) – to synthetic and real RF data to assess these machine learning techniques' potential for crustal imaging when available data are sparse. The synthetic RFs, entailing both sharp increases in seismic velocity across the Moho and gradational Moho structures, calculated with and without added random noise, correspond to idealized crustal structures: a dipping Moho, Moho offset by crustal-scale faults, anti- and synform Moho structures and combinations of these. The RanFor/XGBoost algorithm recovers input structures well regardless of event-station distributions. Useful crustal and upper mantle seismic velocities can also be determined using RanFor and XGBoost, making it possible to image crustal thickness and P and S wave velocities simultaneously from receiver functions alone. We applied the trained RanFor/XGBoost to receiver functions determined from real seismic data recorded in the contiguous U.S., producing a map of the Moho and P and S wave velocities of the lowermost crust and uppermost mantle.
