TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of seismic imaging, and particularly relates to a method for removing artifacts based on multi-mode surface wave dispersion of array passive sources. BACKGROUND
[0002] Since the 21st century, the emergence of ambient noise imaging method is undoubtedly a major breakthrough with milestone significance in the field of seismological research. Unlike the traditional research path based on natural earthquake event information, this method relies on ambient noise data and uses seismic interference method to effectively extract surface wave dispersion information and then realize accurate inversion of the earth's velocity structure. Ambient noise imaging method has unique advantages in the study of the earth's internal structure due to its excellent repeatability, high-resolution imaging effect and convenient and efficient operation process. In recent years, with the rapid development of node-type seismograph technology, a large number of dense and super-dense seismic arrays have been deployed worldwide. The establishment of these arrays greatly enriches the channels of seismic data acquisition and provides more abundant data support for seismological research, which has effectively promoted the in-depth study and wide application of array method.
[0003] In practical application, the deployment of seismic arrays faces a series of constraints. Restricted by the current technical level and actual geographical environment, geological conditions and other factors, it is difficult to realize high-density deployment of seismic arrays. And in the actual operation process, in order to ensure the stability and consistency of data acquisition, the seismic array usually adopts a regular distribution mode. Although this mode is convenient for data acquisition and processing to some extent, it also brings some problems. Due to the similarity of the distance and direction between stations, the array repeatedly samples at fixed distances and directions, which makes it difficult to fully and comprehensively sample the spatial noise field.
[0004] The limitations in the array layout and sampling process will directly affect the results of subsequent data processing and analysis. Taking the weighted cross-correlation beamforming analysis (WCBF) method and the modified beamforming analysis (MCBF) method as examples, a large number of artifacts often appear in the beam pattern and dispersion pattern generated by them. The existence of these artifacts seriously interferes with the accurate extraction of the dispersion curve and the accurate identification of the surface wave mode. The dispersion curve and the surface wave mode recognition are crucial for the inversion of the earth velocity model, which indirectly affects the accuracy and reliability of the inversion results of the earth velocity model. At present, CN 116400406A proposes a passive source multi-mode surface wave dispersion curve extraction method based on array, which can extract multi-mode surface wave dispersion curves with sufficient precision from short-time background noise data recorded by the station array. However, the method proposed in the patent still has many artifacts that interfere with the beam pattern and dispersion pattern. How to overcome these problems, further improve the resolution of the multi-mode dispersion pattern extracted by the station array method based on background noise data, and then improve the accuracy of the earth velocity model inversion has become a key problem that needs to be further studied and solved in the field of seismology. SUMMARY
