Reflected surface waves from a vertical discontinuity.

Author

Jesus Manuel Aboud

Abstract

"Surface waves generated in the field by small explosions were observed along lines parallel and perpendicular to a vertical discontinuity in a surface layer. Three types of wave particle motion were observed in waves incident on the discontinuity: retrograde, progressive, and shear (SH). Waves of the last two types were intense enough to observe a reflection, permitting calculation of reflection coefficients. The results demonstrate the feasibility of using reflection measurements to locate a discontinuity such as a fault zone"-- Abstract, p. ii
