Seismic Wave Propagation Through Random Media: Monte Carlo Simulation Based on the Radiative Transfer Theory

by Haruo Sat and Kentaro Emoto

The solid Earth's medium is heterogeneous over a wide range of scales. Seismological observations, including envelope broadening with increasing distance from an earthquake source and the excitation of long-lasting coda waves, provide a means of investigating velocity inhomogeneities in the crust. These phenomena have been studied primarily using radiative transfer theory with random medium modelling. This book presents the mathematical foundations...
