High-resolution image and waveform inversion of small-scale targets requires the handling high-frequency seismic wavefields. However, conventional finite-difference (FD) methods have strong numerical dispersions in presence components. To reduce these dispersions, we optimized constant coefficients FD operator by maximizing wavenumber coverage within a given error limitation. We set up three general criteria to enhance convergence algorithm optimization effort. selected limitation be 0.0001,...

Abstract Arrival times of seismic phases contribute substantially to the study inner working Earth. Despite great advances in data collection, usage arrival is still insufficient because overload manual picking tasks for human experts. In this work we employ a deep‐learning method (PickNet) automatically pick much more P and S wave local earthquakes with accuracy close that by experts, which can be used directly determine tomography. A large number high‐quality obtained model may greatly...

Conventional explicit finite-difference methods have difficulties in handling high-frequency components due to strong numerical dispersions. One can reduce the dispersions by optimizing constant coefficients of operator. Different from traditional optimized schemes that use 2-norm and least squares, we propose construct objective functions using maximum norm solve simulated annealing algorithm. Both theoretical analyses experiments show our scheme is superior with regard following three...

Abstract Earthquake detection and phase picking play a fundamental role in studying seismic hazards the Earth’s interior. Many deep‐learning‐based methods, including state‐of‐the‐art model called Transformer (EqT), have made considerable progress. However, processing of low signal‐to‐noise ratio (SNR) seismograms remains challenge. Here, we present pair‐input deep‐learning Siamese (S‐EqT), which achieves good performance on SNR using latent information black box pre‐trained EqT array. We...

The eastern margin of the Tibetan Plateau is an area with youngest uplift, strongest deformation, and frequent occurrence large earthquakes. Seismic velocity can constrain lithosphere's rheological strength crustal flow distribution, allowing deformation to be explored for crust upper mantle. However, seismic related rock composition reflects rock's elastic behavior. As a direct anelastic observation deep temperature strength, attenuation decrease multiplicity geodynamic interpretation.

Explicit finite-difference (FD) schemes are widely used in the seismic exploration field due to their simplicity implementation and low computational cost. However, they suffer from strong artifacts caused by using coarse grids for high-frequency applications. The optimization of constant coefficients is popular reducing spatial dispersions, but current methods could not guarantee that bandwidth tolerable dispersion error widest. We have applied Remez exchange algorithm optimize explicit FD...
