In this paper, we thus derive the representation theorem for viscoelastic waves in a medium with a non-symmetric stiffness matrix. The representation theorem expresses the wave field at a receiver, situated inside a subset of the definition volume of the viscoelastodynamic equation, in terms of the volume integral over the subset and the surface integral over the boundary of the subset. For the given medium, we define the complementary medium corresponding to the transposed stiffness matrix. We define the frequency-domain complementary Green function as the frequency-domain Green function in the complementary medium. We then derive the provisional representation theorem as the relation between the frequency-domain wave field in the given medium and the frequency-domain complementary Green function. This provisional representation theorem yields the reciprocity relation between the frequency-domain Green function and the frequency-domain complementary Green function. The final version of the representation theorem is then obtained by inserting the reciprocity relation into the provisional representation theorem.</p>","PeriodicalId":22001,"journal":{"name":"Studia Geophysica et Geodaetica","volume":"65 1","pages":"53 - 58"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2021-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1007/s11200-020-0158-2","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"4022304","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Conventional methods assume that seismic data are stationary when a constant wavelet is considered, which ignores the time-varying characteristics of seismic wavelets. In reality, seismic data are nonstationary because of attenuation, scattering, and other physical processes during propagation, which means that the frequency spectrum of seismic signal changes from shallow to deep formations. We have developed a time-varying wavelet extraction method by using a highly energy-concentrated time-frequency representation technique. Time-varying wavelets are generated according to the local frequency spectrum at every instant. In addition, because the estimations of parameters for wavelet extraction are fully data-driven, the results of the proposed method are more accurate and suitable for the nonstationary nature of actual seismic data. Synthetic tests indicate the reliability and robustness of the proposed method, even under noise contamination. By applying the time-varying wavelet extracted using the proposed method to seismic inversion on a field data example, we obtain the deconvolution result with improved resolution and a better fit to the well-log reflectivity compared to that by using conventional wavelet extraction methods.</p>","PeriodicalId":22001,"journal":{"name":"Studia Geophysica et Geodaetica","volume":"65 1","pages":"70 - 85"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2021-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1007/s11200-020-1251-2","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"4021352","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The analysis is based on nearly 15 years of common data acquisition and aimed to detect new effects of intraplate tectonics or similar local/regional events consistent with calculated ground displacements. Evaluating the GNSS stations residual velocities relative to those expected from the NNR-MORVEL56 model, higher residuals were found at continental coastal stations (Africa) than at oceanic ones (Canaries and Madeira). From the computed strain rate map, the possible existence of a shear zone connecting the Gloria and Transmoroccan fault systems, already mentioned by other authors, was depicted. Cluster statistical analysis of the horizontal residual velocities helped to identify tectonic boundaries in Macaronesia and four groups of analogous intraplate residual velocities within this region. Three of four groups were identified in the Azores, highlighting the African-Nubian-Eurasian diffuse plate boundary in this region. Furthermore, in the Canary Islands, two distinct kinematic behaviours were detected, possibly due to the activity along a previously detected tectonic fault between Tenerife and Gran Canaria, where some stations have similar intraplate residuals to those at Madeira and Cape Verde stations, while others have similar intraplate residuals to those of continental stations.

The splitting parameters namely polarisation direction of fast waves (?) and delay time are the manifestation of anisotropic effects of a medium. The present SKKS splitting measurements from nine broadband seismic stations in Northeast India incorporate new understandings of deformation patterns for this region. At the Himalayan collision zone and sub-Himalayan region, the deformation pattern showing a perfect alignment of the ? parallel to the collisional arc (Main Boundary Thrust, Main Central Thrust), suggests that a localized strain derived from N-S Indo-Eurasian collision is the major source behind its complex tectonics. The SKKS splitting measurements at Assam foredeep region streamline the effect of Kopili fault in controlling the deformation patterns in a NW-SE direction. There is a significant difference in anisotropic behaviour of stations at the northern Shillong plateau compared to the stations at its southern proximity. The absolute plate motion (APM) parallel to ? in northern fringe of the plateau strictly indicates the influence of asthenospheric flow, which in turn is driven by APM of Indian plate in a no net rotation reference frame.

This approach depends on the analysis of the differences between observations of the two epochs, and also considers the principles of the model error approach. All possible combinations of the differences of the observations are considered as model errors in Gauss-Markov model and the estimated model error for the combination, that has the smallest variance, is compared with a critical value to answer the question whether it is significant or not. To compare the results of the new approach with the CDA, the Monte Carlo simulation technique and mean success rate are used in a leveling network.

The tolerance of the noise-interference characteristics depends on the types of misfit functions. To date, different misfit functions, such as the least-squares norm (L2), the least-absolute-value norm (L1), and combinations of the two (e.g., the Huber and hybrid criteria), have been applied to FWI. The L2 norm is highly sensitive to non-Gaussian errors in the data and gives rise to high-amplitude artifacts in reconstructed models. For non-Gaussian noise data, the L1 norm and the Huber and hybrid criteria always reliably reconstruct models. However, the Huber and hybrid criteria require tedious error investigations to estimate their threshold criterion. Thus, the L1 norm is adopted here to improve the anti-noise ability of the FWI. The step length is closely related to the misfit function, and an optimal step-length estimation method can rapidly make the FWI algorithm reach the global minimum, with a reduced number of iterations and fewer extra forward modeling simulations during each iteration. The step length can usually be obtained using the exact or inexact line search method. Generally, the exact line search method is faster than the inexact one. Therefore, we derived an exact line search method for the L1 norm in the FWI process. Its effectiveness was tested using noise-free data from Overthrust and the SEG/EAGE salt models. The results demonstrate that this method can recover high-resolution velocity models with low computational costs.

For the compactness weighting function, practical experiments demonstrate that the recovered model becomes more compact with an increasing value for the relative exponential factor β. However, if no appropriate boundary-constraint method is applied, the inversion results cannot be controlled within the designated constraint bounds when β needs to be set to a large value to obtain compact inversion results. The interior-point method allows the use of a larger β to obtain more compact inversion results without violating the boundary constraints. Additionally, models in close proximity can more clearly be recognized using this method. To improve the computational efficiency and obtain a more accurate regularization parameter, the preconditioned conjugate gradient and L-curve, or line search methods, were also applied.
