  4. Consider residuals from one earthquake Arrival Time Misfit * LATE * * * Trial Location EARLY * Map View 0 90 180 270 STATION AZIMUTH

  5. Interpretation #1 - earthquake is farther north Arrival Time Misfit True Location * * LATE * * * * * * * EARLY * Map View 0 90 180 270 STATION AZIMUTH

  6. Is mislocation the only explanation? Arrival Time Misfit * LATE * * * Trial Location EARLY * Map View 0 90 180 270 STATION AZIMUTH

  7. Alternative interpretation - velocity structure is slower near event and to the south and faster near the northern station! FASTER * LATE * * * True Location SLOWER EARLY * Map View 0 90 180 270 STATION AZIMUTH

  8. Alternative interpretation - velocity structure is slower near event and to the south and faster near the northern station! Compensate for Structure FASTER * LATE * * * True Location * * * * SLOWER EARLY * Map View 0 90 180 270 STATION AZIMUTH

  9. Alternative interpretation - velocity structure is slower near event and to the south and faster near the northern station! Compensate for Structure FASTER * LATE * * * True Location * * * * SLOWER EARLY * Map View 0 90 180 270 STATION AZIMUTH How can we determine the heterogeneity?

  10. How does seismic tomography work? "Illuminate" fast velocity anomalywith waves from earthquake to array Localizes anomaly to a "cone"

  11. How does seismic tomography work? "Illuminate" fast velocity anomalywith waves from earthquake to array "Illuminate" fast anomaly with waves from another earthquake Localizes anomaly to a "cone" Localizes anomaly to another "cone"

  12. Combine observations from multiple earthquakes to image anomaly

  13. Simple Seismic Tomography Problem h s2 s1 slowness si = 1/velocity h s3 s4

  14. Simple Seismic Tomography Problem h s2 s1 slowness si = 1/velocity h s3 s4

  15. Simple Seismic Tomography Problem h s2 s1 slowness si = 1/velocity h s3 s4 d = G m data model

  16. Simple Seismic Tomography Problem h s2 s1 slowness si = 1/velocity h s3 s4 d = G m QUESTIONS SO FAR? data model

  17. Consider pairs of closely-spaced earthquakes Relative Arrival Time 1 1 LATE 0 1 1 EARLY 1 0 90 180 270 AZIMUTH

  18. Relative Arrival Time 2 LATE 0 2 2 2 EARLY 2 0 90 180 270 AZIMUTH

  19. Relative Arrival Time 3 LATE 0 3 3 3 EARLY 3 0 90 180 270 AZIMUTH

  20. Relative Arrival Time 4 LATE 4 0 4 4 EARLY 4 0 90 180 270 AZIMUTH

  21. Relative Arrival Time 4 LATE 4 0 4 4 EARLY 4 0 90 180 270 AZIMUTH So relative arrival times tell you relative locations

  22. Consider effect of heterogeneity - linear horizontal velocity gradient Relative Arrival Time 1 1 LATE 0 1 1 EARLY 1 0 90 180 270 AZIMUTH SLOWER ====> FASTER gray = homogeneous case

  23. Consider effect of heterogeneity – linear horizontal velocity gradient Relative Arrival Time 1 1 1 LATE 0 1 1 1 1 EARLY 1 1 0 90 180 270 AZIMUTH SLOWER ====> FASTER gray = homogeneous case

  24. Relative Arrival Time 2 LATE 0 2 2 2 EARLY 2 0 90 180 270 AZIMUTH SLOWER ====> FASTER gray = homogeneous case

  25. Relative Arrival Time 2 2 LATE 0 2 2 2 2 2 EARLY 2 2 0 90 180 270 AZIMUTH SLOWER ====> FASTER gray = homogeneous case

  26. Relative Arrival Time 3 LATE 3 0 3 3 3 3 3 EARLY 3 3 0 90 180 270 AZIMUTH SLOWER ====> FASTER gray = homogeneous case

  27. Relative Arrival Time 4 4 LATE 4 0 4 4 4 4 EARLY 4 4 0 90 180 270 AZIMUTH SLOWER ====> FASTER gray = homogeneous case

  28. Ignore heterogeneity – some locations will be distorted, some residuals will be larger! 1 1 4 2 2 4 0 3 3 gray = true white = relocated

  29. Consider effect of different heterogeneity - low velocity fault zone Relative Arrival Time 1 1 1 LATE 0 1 1 1 1 EARLY 1 1 FAST SLOW FAST 0 90 180 270 AZIMUTH gray = homogeneous case

  30. Relative Arrival Time 2 2 LATE 0 2 2 2 2 2 EARLY 2 2 FAST SLOW FAST 0 90 180 270 AZIMUTH gray = homogeneous case

  31. Relative Arrival Time 3 3 LATE 0 3 3 3 3 3 EARLY 3 3 FAST SLOW FAST 0 90 180 270 AZIMUTH gray = homogeneous case

  32. Relative Arrival Time 4 4 LATE 4 0 4 4 4 4 EARLY 4 4 FAST SLOW FAST 0 90 180 270 AZIMUTH gray = homogeneous case

  33. Result - locations are very distorted! 1 1 4 2 2 4 0 3 3 gray = true white = relocated

  34. Implications • Ignoring heterogeneous earth structure will bias estimated locations from true locations • Different heterogeneities have different "signatures" in arrival time difference patterns - so there should be a "signal" in the data that can be modeled

  35. Implications • Ignoring heterogeneous earth structure will bias estimated locations from true locations • Different heterogeneities have different "signatures" in arrival time difference patterns - so there should be a "signal" in the data that can be modeled QUESTIONS?

  36. Our DD tomography approach • Determine event locations and the velocity structure simultaneously to account for the coupling effect between them. • Use absolute and high-precision relative arrival times to determine both velocity structure and event locations. • Goal: determine both relative and absolute locations accurately, and characterize the velocity structure "sharply."

  37. Seismic tomography Arrival-time residuals can be linearly related to perturbations to the hypocenter and the velocity structure: Nonlinear problem, so solve with iterative algorithm.

  38. Double-difference seismic tomography For two events i and j observed at the same station k Subtract one from the other Note:

  39. Combine conventional and double-difference tomography into one system of equationsinvolving both absolute and double-difference residuals doubledifference absolute

  40. Test on "vertical sandwich" model • Constant velocity (6 km/s) west of "fault" • Sharp lateral gradient to 4 km/s • Few km wide low-velocity "fault zone" • Sharp lateral gradient up to 5 km/s • Gentle lateral gradient up to 6 km/s • Random error added to arrival times but not differential times (so latter more accurate) • Start inversions with 1D model

  41. Conventional tomography solution True model, all depths

  42. Double-difference tomography solution True model, all depths
