Use of Rayleigh Wave Dispersion to Localize a Source

The possibility of using Rayleigh wave dispersion to localize a source of seismoacoustic radiation is investigated. Compensation for dispersion distortion is at the heart of the well-known methods of wavefront reversal or time reversal methods. A specific feature of the article is the use of the dispersion dependence, which is measured during seismoacoustic signal recording, with subsequent processing of the data obtained. An example of such processing is presented for data recorded in a field experiment. The results indicate the prospects of developing the data interpretation method for seismoacoustic remote diagnostics of natural environments, e.g., for the search and localization of different types of inclusions.
