Extraction of weak PcP phases using the slant-stacklet transform — I: method and examples

Abstract: In order to study fine scale structure of the Earth's deep interior, it is necessary to extract generally weak body wave phases from seismograms that interact with various discontinuities and heterogeneities. The recent deployment of large-scale dense arrays providing high-quality data, in combination with efficient seismic data processing techniques, may provide important and accurate observations over large portions of the globe poorly sampled until now. Major challenges are low signal-to-noise ratios (SNR) … Show more

“…Some effective methods for seismic data reconstruction have been proposed in the exploration seismology community. One type of the most widely used methods is based on a sparse transform that maps the seismic signals to certain domains (e.g., Fourier 18 , curvelet 19 , slant stacklet 20 , and seislet domains 21 ), where the useful information can be sparsely represented and separated from the missing data and random noise. Another type of mainstream methods is based on the Cadzow filtering or the singular spectrum analysis (SSA) 22 , which is a rank-reduction-based method that transforms the data to frequency-wavenumber or frequency-space domains to extract the spatial coherency of the entire dataset for reconstructing the missing information.…”

“…Recent extensions of the slowness slant stack methodology for global body-wave imaging improve resolution by incorporating the notion of the time-and-space locality as well as phase-coherence before stacking (Ventosa et al, 2012;Ventosa & Romanowicz, 2015a, 2015bZheng et al, 2015). Similar ideas have been applied to Ps-RFs in many variations (Guan & Niu, 2017;Gurrola et al, 1994;Shi et al, 2020), all borrowing slightly from exploration seismology, where velocity spectral analysis is used to disentangle phases, given a known earth model (O.…”

“…In the slowness domain, each coherent signal will form an energy peak centred at its slowness, and random noise will become low-amplitude background. One can then design specific filters, namely the LSSFs, to extract only one target slowness (or a range of slownesses) of interest and mask out the other undesired slownesses, and then transform back to the time-space domain to obtain a cleaned-up record section, in which only the signal of target slowness is preserved, whereas interfering signals with a different slowness (in other words, coherent noise) and random noise are removed (Ventosa et al 2012;Ventosa & Romanowicz 2015). This is very suitable for the case of SS precursors, because both the expected slownesses of the SS precursors and those of the interfering phases are known and can be calculated for reference models such as PREM.…”

“…A balance can be achieved by selecting an optimal stacking aperture in consideration of the sampling density of the array and the noise level. The details of the selection strategy is described in Ventosa et al (2012) for the exploration seismology case and in Ventosa & Romanowicz (2015) for the teleseismic case. In short, the minimum aperture (bin diameter) is approximately A = T/ p, where p is the slowness resolution to be achieved, and T is the dominant period of the signal.…”
