Estimation of Direction of Wavefront Propagation and Slowness Using Time Domain Wavenumber Analysis in Small-Size Dense Seismic Arrays

Article Preview

Abstract:

The time domain wavenumber analysis method can directly delay and align signals before the superposition of signals in the time domain. In this paper, estimating the direction of wavefront propagation and the slowness for seismic signals which pass through the small-size dense seismic array is described in detail. The earthquake recorder sample adopted from US Geological Survey Parkfield Dense Seismograph Array (UPSAR array) of the U.S is used for analyzing. The results indicate that, the direction of wavefront propagation cannot be determined rashly only by the connecting line of the earthquake epicenter to the seismic array. The accuracy of the apparent velocity and the direction of wavefront propagation calculated using vertical seismic recorders is higher in West-East direction and in North-South direction.
