Retrieval of Elastodynamic Reflections From Passive Double-Couple Recordings

Virtual Green's functions obtained by seismic interferometry (SI) can provide valuable reflectivity data that can complement tomographic inversion schemes. However, virtual reflections are affected by illumination irregularities that are typical of earthquake-induced wavefields recorded by the receiver array. As a consequence, irregular...

Global-scale seismic interferometry: Theory and numerical examples

Progress in the imaging of the mantle and core is partially limited by the sparse distribution of natural sources; the earthquake hypocenters are mainly along the active lithospheric plate boundaries. This problem can be approached with seismic interferometry. In recent years, there has been considerable progress in the development of seismic...
