Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of surface wave tomography, and more particularly to a seismic surface wave array tomography method, storage medium, and device. Background Technology

[0002] Surface wave-based tomography has been widely used to study the structure of the Earth's crust and upper mantle. With the development of dense seismic arrays, array-based seismic data processing methods have become highly effective in extracting high-quality broadband surface wave dispersion curves. In recent years, advancements in seismic array data processing methods have facilitated the extraction of multimodal dispersion curves, providing better constraints for studying the Earth's deep structure.

[0003] Compared to single-station or dual-station methods, seismic array data processing techniques can extract high-quality multimodal broadband surface wave dispersion curves from seismic data. However, because seismic array data processing techniques superimpose surface wave signals from a series of subarrays, they typically only obtain the average phase velocity values ​​of the corresponding subarrays. Then, the phase velocity values ​​from different subarrays are interpolated to construct a surface wave phase velocity map of the study area. The resolution of this phase velocity map is limited by the size of the subarrays and the spacing between subarray movements, resulting in relatively low imaging resolution for tomographic imaging. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the problem of low phase velocity structure resolution obtained from seismic array data processing techniques by proposing a seismic surface wave array tomography method, comprising the following steps:

[0005] S1. Obtain the raw continuous waveform data recorded by different seismic stations and perform preprocessing to obtain segmented continuous waveform data.

[0006] S2. Using segmented continuous waveform data, calculate the cross-correlation function between all seismic station pairs;

[0007] S3. Determine the size of the subarray based on the spacing and number of seismic stations; use linear Radon transform to process all cross-correlation functions within each subarray to obtain the dispersion curve of the subarray;

[0008] S4. Move the position of the subarray along the horizontal and vertical directions with a certain step size to obtain the subarrays at other positions. Obtain the dispersion curves of the subarrays at other positions based on the method in S3.

[0009] S5. Based on the dispersion curves of different subarrays, the phase velocity values ​​of each grid point in the study area are constructed using the seismic surface wave array tomography method.

[0010] Furthermore, step S1 specifically includes:

[0011] S11. Obtain continuous waveform records containing ground motion signals from different seismic stations;

[0012] S12. Divide the continuous waveform data recorded by each seismic station into segments according to a certain duration;

[0013] S13. Perform time-domain regularization on the segmented continuous waveform data to obtain the regularized data;

[0014] S14. Perform spectral analysis on the regularized data in the frequency domain to obtain segmented continuous waveform data.

[0015] Furthermore, S2 specifically refers to:

[0016] S21. Calculate the cross-correlation function between all station pairs for each same time period using the background noise cross-correlation. The expression is as follows:

[0018] Among them, c AB (t) represents the cross-correlation function between seismic stations A and B at time t, f A (τ) represents the continuous waveform record at time τ recorded by seismic station A, f B 9τ+t) represents the continuous waveform record at time τ+t recorded by seismic station B;

[0019] S22. The cross-correlation function of each seismic station pair is obtained by superimposing the cross-correlation functions of each seismic station pair at all times.

[0020] Furthermore, step S3 specifically includes:

[0021] S31. Based on the spacing and number of seismic stations, design a shape of a specific size with a certain location as the center, and select the stations within the shape to form a sub-array.

[0022] S32. Using linear Radon transform, the cross-correlation function between all station pairs within each subarray is processed to obtain the dispersion curve of each subarray. The principle of linear Radon transform is as follows:

[0023] First, define the inverse Radon transform: d = Lm, where d represents the Fourier transform value of waveform data at a certain frequency, m represents the Radon transform result of d, and L is the Radon transform matrix;

[0024] The inversion problem of the Radon transform is: Among them, W m Represents the weighting matrix of the Radon transform model;

[0025] The optimization problem of the Radon transform is: The solution to the optimization problem is: Where I represents the identity matrix, W d It is a data weighted matrix; yes The transpose matrix; parameter λ balances the data fit difference and model weighting;

[0026] All cross-correlation functions within the subarray are sorted and aligned according to station distances to form a virtual source set. Then, the cross-correlation functions are transformed to the frequency domain through linear Radon transform to obtain L and d, resulting in model m. The model m is then calculated, and the results are transformed from the frequency slowness domain to the frequency velocity domain to obtain the dispersion energy map. Based on the maximum amplitude of the dispersion energy map, the dispersion curve of the subarray is extracted.

[0027] Furthermore, S5 specifically refers to:

[0028] S51. Extract the dispersion curves of all subarrays in a specific period;

[0029] S52. Based on the dispersion curves of all subarrays at a specific period, the phase velocity value of each grid point is inverted using the seismic surface wave array tomography method.

[0032]

[0033] Among them, C pred Let G(i) represent the average phase velocity value corresponding to the subarray, and G(i) represent the relationship between the geological structure of the i-th grid and the observation data. i This represents the velocity value of the i-th grid, and n represents the number of inverted grids;

[0034] Using the following formula, with the dispersion curves of all subarrays in a specific period as input data, the phase velocity value of each grid point in the study area can be retrieved.

[0035]

[0039] The beneficial effects of the technical solution provided by this invention are:

[0040] This invention proposes a seismic surface wave array tomography method. From continuous waveform data recorded by seismic stations, the cross-correlation function between any two stations is calculated. High-quality dispersion curves for each subarray are obtained using array data processing techniques. A correspondence is established between the subarray dispersion curves and the velocity values ​​below each grid point in the study area. The seismic array surface wave tomography method is then used to construct the velocity values ​​below each grid point in the study area. Compared to seismic array data processing techniques that directly interpolate the phase velocity values ​​of the subarrays to construct a surface wave phase velocity map of the study area, this invention, by constructing the velocity values ​​below each grid point in the study area using seismic array tomography, can significantly improve the resolution of the reconstruction of the Earth's internal structure based on seismic array processing techniques.
