Heterogeneity in the Lithosphere -- Phenomenological Modeling of Coda-Wave Excitation -- Born Approximation for Wave Scattering in Inhomogeneous Media -- Attenuation of High-Frequency Seismic Waves -- Synthesis of Three-Component Seismogram Envelopes for Earthquakes Using Scattering Amplitudes from the Born Approximation -- Envelope Synthesis Based on the Radiative Transfer Theory: Multiple Scattering Models -- Diffraction and Broadening of Seismogram Envelopes -- Summary and Epilogue
Summary
Seismic waves - generated both by natural earthquakes and by man-made sources - have produced an enormous amount of information about the Earth's interior. This book focuses on developments in the area of seismic wave propagation and scattering through the randomly heterogeneous structure of the Earth, with emphasis on the lithosphere
