  9. T = 21.6 s, A = 41885 nm  MS = 6.8 Calculation of surface wave magnitude: MS = log (A/T)max + 1.66 log D0 + 3.3 for 18s < T < 22s surface waves body waves Long Period Filter (SRO-LP):

  10. Core phase distance range (100° – 180°)

  11. Body and core phases

  12. Long-period filtered (SRO_LP simulation) three-component seismogram from an earthquake at PAPUA NEW GUINEA on July 17, 1998 recorded at station GRA1 in Germany at an epicentral distance of 117.5°. The horizontal components (RT) are rotated into the epicentral direction. Phases Pdiff, PP SP, SKS, SKKS, PS, Sdiff, SS and SSS are denoted.

  13. outer core: PKPbc: 145° - 153° PKPab: 145° - 177° inner core: PKPdf: 122° - 180° core-mantle boundary: Pdiff: 98° - 144°

  14. Core phases: PKPdf, PKPbc and PKPab

  16. Short-period filtered (WWSSN_SP simulation) seismogram recorded at 9 GRSN stations from an earthquake in the Fiji Islands region at a depth of 643 km on September 30, 1994 (mb 5.1). All traces are shifted and aligned with respect to PKPdf and sorted according to distance. The epicentral distance for CLL is 148.4 and for the most distant station BFO 152.2. Core phases PKPdf, PKPbc and PKPab are easy to analyse in this distance range. Traveltime curves allow the epicentral distance to be determined with an precision of better than 1.

  17. Fig. 11.62 Left: Records of the direct core phases PKPdf, PKPbc and PKPab as well as of the diffracted phase PKPdif from a Kermadec Island earthquake at stations of the GRSN in the distance range between 153° and 159°; right: ray paths through the Earth and along a map view of the Earth surface.

  18. Slowness and raypaths of PKP phases

  19. Core Phases • Body waves in mantle • Slowness > 4.5 Body waves in core • Slowness < 4.5 Different branches of PKP phase: e.G. at an epicentral distance of 150° PKPdf  Slowness ~ 1.6 s/° PKPbc  Slowness ~ 2.6 s/° PKPab  Slowness ~ 4.1 s/°
