Outline of Research at the Start

脈動P波を観測した場合には、走時の測定は原理的に難しい。そのため、脈動 P波から地球内部構造を推定する場合には、何を観測量とすべきかという問題があった。そこで本計画では、走時異常に対応する測定量として、auto-focusing 法 によって測定した震央距離距離の異常を提案する。測定した震央距離の異常値から、CMBと遷移層構造の推定をめざす。

Outline of Final Research Achievements

In recent years, studies on seismic wave interferometry using surface waves (microseisms) originating from ocean waves have developed, improving the ability to extract structures between seismic stations. To explore deeper structures, body-wave microseisms have become the focus of recent studies. This study considered the excitation sources of P-wave microseisms as new seismic sources and developed a method to catalog them. Additionally, we developed a generalized receiver function analysis method to detect converted waves beneath the receivers using P-wave microseisms. Applying this method to seismic records deployed across Japan, we successfully imaged mantle discontinuities. These results demonstrate that by analyzing body-wave microseisms, it is possible to detect mantle discontinuities beneath the seismic network independently of earthquake activity.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

近年、震源分布の制約から抜け出すため、海洋波浪起源の地震波を用いた地震波干渉法研究が推し進められています。しかし地震波干渉法にも問題点があります。一つ目は観測点を仮想的な震源とみなす手法のため、依然として観測点の分布には縛られている点です。二つ目は、地震波干渉法解析に際して、等方一様な励起源分布が要請される点です。この仮定は特に実体波に対して多くの場合成り立たないという問題点が知られています。これら地震波干渉法解析の壁を乗り越えため、脈動実体波を空間的には点震源であり、時間的には持続的であると仮定し、地震波干渉法と通常の地震を用いた解析の中間とも言える、新たな手法を開発しました。
