A comparison of synthetic seismograms

R. B. HERRMANN and C. Y. WANG

DEPARTMENT OF EARTH AND ATMOSPHERIC SCIENCES SAINT LOUIS UNIVERSITY, P.O. BOX 8099, LACLEDE STATION ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI 63156

Abstract

To provide a basis of comparison and calibration for many synthetic seismogram programs, time histories of the eight dislocation source and two explosion source Green's functions are provided for simple earth models, computed using several different approaches. In addition, explicit forms of the wavenumber-frequency integrands are provided for an elastic half-space model. Each numberical technique for synthesis has imperfections. However, peak amplitudes agree to within 10 per cent, and waveform shapes are almost identical.
