Abstract Determination of shallow earthquake source mechanisms by inversion of long-period (150 to 300 sec) Rayleigh waves requires epicentral locations with greater accuracy than that provided by routine source locations of the National Earthquake Information Center (NEIC) and International Seismological Centre (ISC). The effects of epicentral mislocation on such inversions are examined using synthetic calculations as well as actual data for three large Mexican earthquakes. For Rayleigh waves of 150-sec period, an epicentral mislocation of 30 km introduces observed source spectra phase errors of 0.6 radian for stations at opposing azimuths along the source mislocation vector. This is larger than the 0.5-radian azimuthal variation of the phase spectra at the same period for a thrust fault with 15° dip and 24-km depth. The typical landward mislocation of routinely determined epicenters of shallow subduction zone earthquakes causes source moment tensor inversions of long-period Rayleigh waves to predict larger fault dip than indicated by teleseismic P-wave first-motion data. For dip-slip earthquakes, inversions of long-period Rayleigh waves that use an erroneous source location in the down-dip or along-strike directions of a nodal plane, overestimate the strike, dip, and slip of that nodal plane. Inversions of strike-slip earthquakes that utilize an erroneous location along the strike of a nodal plane overestimate the slip of that nodal plane, causing the second nodal plane to dip incorrectly in the direction opposite to the mislocation vector. The effects of epicentral mislocation for earthquakes with 45° dip-slip fault mechanisms are more severe than for events with other fault mechanisms. Existing earth model propagation corrections do not appear to be sufficiently accurate to routinely determine the optimal surface-wave source location without constraints from body-wave information, unless extensive direct path (R1) data are available or empirical path calibrations are performed. However, independent surface-wave and body-wave solutions can be remarkably consistent when the effects of epicentral mislocation are accounted for. This will allow simultaneous unconstrained body-wave and surface-wave inversions to be performed despite the well known difficulties of extracting the complete moment tensor of shallow sources from fundamental modes.

Special Case

Alongside the determination of the focal mechanism and source depth of an earthquake by direct examination of their probable values on a grid in the parameter space, also the resolution of these determinations can be estimated. However, this approach requires considerable time in the case of a detailed search. A special case of a shallow earthquake whose one nodal plane is subhorizontal is an example of the sources that require the use of a detailed grid. For studying these events based on the records of the long-period surface waves, the grids with high degree of detail in the angles of the focal mechanism are required. We discuss the application of the methods of parallel computing for speeding up the calculations of earthquake parameters and present the results of studying the strongest aftershock of the Tohoku, Japan, earthquake by this approach.

abstract Precursors to S and SKS were observed in long-period SRO and WWSSN seismograms of the Romanian earthquake of March 4, 1977, recorded in the United States at distances from 68° to 93°. According to the fault-plane solution, the stations were close to a nodal plane and SV radiation was optimum in their direction. Particle-motion diagrams, constructed from the digital data of the SRO station ANMO (distance 89.1°), show the P-wave character of the precursors. Several interpretations are discussed; the most plausible is that the precursors are Sp phases generated by conversion from S to P below the station. The travel-time differences between S or SKS and Sp are about 60 sec and indicate conversion in the transition zone between the upper and lower mantle. Sp conversions were also observed at long-period WWSSN stations in the western United States for 2 Tonga-Fiji deep-focus earthquakes (distances from 82° to 96°). Special emphasis is given in this paper to the calculation of theoretical seismograms, both for Sp precursors and the P-wave coda, including high-order multiples such as sP4 which may arrive simultaneously with Sp. The Sp calculations show: (1) the conversions produced by S, ScS, and SKS at interfaces or transition zones between the upper and lower mantle form a complicated interference pattern, and (2) conversion at transition zones is less effective than at first-order discontinuities only if their thickness is greater than about half a wavelength of S waves. As a consequence, details of the velocity structure between the upper and lower mantle can only be determined within these limits from long-period Sp observations. Our observations are compatible with velocity models having pronounced transition zones at depths of 400 and 670 km as have been proposed for the western United States, and they exclude much smoother structures. Our study suggests that long-period Sp precursors from pure thrust or normal-fault earthquakes, observed at distances from 70° to 95° close to a nodal plane and at azimuths roughly perpendicular to its strike, offer a simple means for qualitative mapping of the sharpness of the transition zones between the upper and lower mantle.

Good Agreement

abstract Computer-determined P nodal solutions in the Wickens-Hodgson Catalogue were compared with earlier visually-determined solutions for the same earthquakes. Good agreement was found in about 40 per cent of the solutions. Lack of agreement was due chiefly to poor distribution of data in azimuth about the epicenter. Necessary, but not sufficient, conditions for well-defined nodal plane solutions were determined: there must be a minimum of 100 observations with at least two in each 90° segment of azimuth; data must be at least 80 per cent consistent with the selected nodal planes. Fourteen of the 618 earthquakes in the Catalogue met these requirements.

Insight Into

A molecular orbital is the wave function for the electron, and it extends over the entire molecule. When considering the possible reactions of a molecule, molecular orbitals are required to be known. This paper gives insight into the nature of molecular orbitals and nodal plane, also explain why certain atomic orbitals “missing” in molecular orbitals.

Wiman, in 1895, found ((5), p. 208) an equation for a 4-nodal plane sextic W that admits a group S of 120 Cremona self-transformations; of these, 24 are projectivities, the other 96 quadratic transformations. S is isomorphic to the symmetric group of degree 5 and Wiman emphasizes that S does permute among themselves 5 pencils (4 pencils of lines and 1 of conics) and 5 nets (4 nets of conics and 1 of lines). But he gives no geometrical properties of W. The omission should be repaired because, as will be explained below, W can be uniquely determined by elementary geometrical conditions. Furthermore: W is only one, though admittedly the most interesting, of a whole pencil P of 4-nodal sextics; every member of P is invariant under S+, the icosahedral subgroup of index 2 in S, while the transformations in the coset S/S+ transpose the members of P in pairs save for two that they leave fixed, W being one of these. When the triangle of reference is the diagonal point triangle of the quadrangle of its nodes the form of W is (7.2) below. Wiman referred his curve to a different triangle.
