摘要:	摘要： Seismic data collected during explosion experiments performed as part of the TAiwan Integrated GEodynamics Research (TAIGER) project provide an excellent opportunity to obtain high-resolution images of the structure of the crust and upper mantle beneath Taiwan. The most significant feature observed at near-source stations located on the western coastal plain in Taiwan is high-energy later arrivals. These high-amplitude multiples almost completely mask the lower-amplitude signals (seismic refraction and wide-angle reflection) from the deep crust. The later arrivals are identified as free-surface-reflected multiples. The nature and generation of these high-energy, multiple diving waves are demonstrated using synthetic examples. Their generation requires the presence of a steep velocity gradient in the shallow crust. A detailed analysis of the observation data provided information on the velocity gradients in this region. An accurate layer-velocity model, including the boundary orientation and its depth, and velocity gradient, was constructed based on a 1D waveform simulation and 2D seismic raytracing modeling for travel times. The present results indicate that the thick sediment in the survey area dips shallowly to the east, has a surface P-wave velocity of 1.76km/s, and an average velocity gradient of about 0.72/s from the surface to 3.0-km depth. The thick sediment of the 2D model shows lateral variations in velocity gradient, increasing from west to east. This velocity model may provide useful information for future data processing to reduce multiple diving waves with the aim of enhancing the deep-surface refraction/reflection signal. The velocity gradient calculated for the thick sediment of the western coastal plain may require a revision of the regional seismic velocity model developed for southwestern Taiwan, to improve the accuracy of regional hypocenter determinations, and to predict the strong ground motions produced by large earthquakes beneath this region. 出版者： Seismological Society of America 出版日期： 2013-04 出處： Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America, 2013-04, Vol.103 (2A), p.925-935 資源來源： GeoScienceWorld 版權： GeoRef, Copyright 2020, American Geosciences Institute.
