Studia Geophysica et Geodaetica Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

The properties of the partial derivatives of dispersion curves, amplitudes and theoretical seismograms, in particular the occurrence of short-period phases, are studied on four crustmantle models. The individual models differ in the number of low-velocity channels. The fundamental and first higher mode of Love waves are studied in detail.
