Love Wave Dispersion

The IBM 650 computer of the Watson Scientific Computing Laboratory, Columbia University, was programmed to obtain numerical solutions for the period equation for Love waves on a half‐space with a double surface layer. Solutions including higher modes for seven models of the continental crust‐mantle system are presented. This group of related cases shows that certain properties of the solutions are diagnostic of crustal structure. These relationships are illustrated graphically.

Love Wave Dispersion

abstract By use of the Love-Wave dispersion data for the earthquake of 29 September 1946 (Lat. 5° S, Long. 154° E), a three-layer model of Pacific Basin structure has been derived. The periods of the Love Waves observed varied continuously from 45 seconds to 7 seconds. The model consists of: (a) 2.5 km. with VS equal to 2.31 km/sec.; (b) 11 km. with VS equal to 3.87 km/sec.; (c) bottom with VS equal to 4.52 km/sec. The differences between this model and that found by Raitt using refraction measurements are discussed.
