Global finite-frequency S-wave delay-times: how much crust matters

Résumé

We investigate the influence of crust on time residual measurements made by cross-correlation in the 10–51 s filtering period range on a global scale, considering two crustal models: CRUST2.0 and CRUST1.0. This study highlights, in a quantitative way, crust-related time corrections. One part of this correction is directly linked to the body wave traveltime through the crust as predicted by the ray theory, whereas a second part is related to interferences with multiple crustal reflections. This second component, called finite-frequency (FF) crustal correction, is frequency-dependent unlike the ray-theory based correction. We show that if this frequency-dependent crust-related correction is not taken into account in cross-correlation measurements, it may lead to a dispersive effect in S-wave delay-times that could ultimately bias tomographic models. On average, this FF correction increases with the filtering period. Comparisons between the two crustal models highlight the significant dispersive effect of the crust, which has complex patterns depending on geological contexts, with an important role of the sediment thickness. Although ray crustal corrections remain important, FF crustal effects may lead to a bias in measurements if not properly taken into account; on average they may reach 0.9–1.6 s for CRUST2.0 and 0.5–1.6 s for CRUST1.0, for period ranging from 10 to 51 s, respectively.
