A multistep approach for joint modeling of surface wave dispersion and teleseismic receiver functions: Implications for lithospheric structure of the Arabian Peninsula

摘要

We present a multiple step procedure for joint modeling of surface wave group velocity dispersion curves and teleseismic receiver functions for lithospheric velocity structure. The method relies on an initial grid search for a simple crustal structure, followed by a formal iterative inversion, an additional grid search for shear wave velocity in the mantle, and finally, forward modeling of transverse isotropy to resolve Love-Rayleigh surface wave dispersion discrepancy. It considers longer-period surface wave group velocity (SWGV) dispersion, allowing for the resolution of deeper structure compared to previous joint inversions. The grid search for simple crustal structure is facilitated using a library of precomputed receiver functions and SWGV dispersion curves.
