Rychlé interferenční vlny a 1D seismické modely kůry
Vackář, Jiří ; Zahradník, Jiří (advisor) ; Prokop Brokešová, Johana (referee)
A recent shallow earthquake in the Corinth Gulf, Greece (Mw 5.3) generated unusual long-period waves (periods > 5 seconds) between the P- and S-wave arrival. The 5-second period, being significantly longer than the source duration, indicates a structural effect. Observed seismograms were examined by methods of the frequency-time analysis. Disper- sion curves of the fast long-period (FLP) waves indicated group velocities ranging from 3 to 5.5 km/s for periods between 4 and 10 s, respectively, with large variations among the stations. The generalized dispersion curve splits into two major strips, probably related to lateral variations of the crustal structure. Forward simulations for several existing crustal models were made. A few partially successful models served for a sensitivity study, which showed that the FLP wave seemed to be mainly due to the low-velocity layers in the uppermost 4 kilometers of the crust. Finally the shallow crustal structure was retrieved by inverting observed seismograms by Neighborhood algorithm. The inversion confirmed that the FLP wave in seismograms at more than a single station cannot be explained with a 1-D crustal model. The path-dependent models provided a partial explanation for the strips revealed in the experimental dispersion curves. An alternative explanation is by...

Application and interpretation of seismic surface waves in broad frequency range
Gaždová, Renata ; Vilhelm, Jan (advisor) ; Novotný, Oldřich (referee) ; Holub, Karel (referee)
Submitted Ph.D. thesis is concerning the application and interpretation of seismic surface waves in a broad range of frequencies and scales. Using surface waves as a supplement to the methods dealing with body waves seems to be worth the effort. Surface wave interpretation can be used to obtain new information about the studied medium and simultaneously it can overcome, in some cases, the limitations of other seismic techniques. Moreover, surface waves are usually present on measured records and hence for its usage it is not necessary to modify the standard measuring procedures. One of the results of this thesis is an original algorithm for dispersive waveform calculation. The program works in an arbitrary range of frequencies and scales. The input parameter for the calculation is the dispersion curve. In this point the algorithm differs from all other approaches used so far. Algorithm is based on a summation of frequency components with shifts corresponding to the velocity dispersion and distance. The resulting waveform only contains an individual dispersive wave of the selected mode, thus being particularly suitable for testing of methodologies for dispersive wave analysis. The algorithm was implemented into the program DISECA. Furthermore, a new procedure was designed to calculate the dispersion...
