The structure of the Cincinnati arch as determined by short period Rayleigh waves

ROBERT B. HERRMANN*

SEISMOLOGICAL OBSERVATORY XAVIER UNIVERSITY, CINCINNATI, OHIO

Abstract

The propagation of Rayleigh waves with periods of 0.4 to 2.0 seconds across the Cincinnati arch is investigated. The region of investigation includes southern Indiana and Ohio and northern Kentucky. The experimental data for all paths are fitted by a three-layer model of varying layer thickness but of fixed velocity in each layer. The resulting inferred structural picture is in good agreement with the known basement trends of the region. The velocities of the best fitting theoretical model agree well with velocity-depth data from a well in southern Indiana.
