Transmission of Love waves past a continental margin

Creators

Abstract

A simplified two-dimensional model of the continental margin is considered in which a single-layer crust is assumed to have an abrupt change in thickness. Love waves are assumed to be propagating normally to this discontinuity. By a Green's function technique, the transmission coefficients are derived for waves propagating in either direction.
