Near-Vertical Reflections Recorded at the Wide-Angle Profile in the Rhenish Massif

  • Conference paper
Explosion Seismology in Central Europe

Abstract

Near-vertical reflections between 4 and 10 s two-way travel time have been surveyed along a specially arranged wide-angle profile. By means of digital techniques, the quality of the records could be considerably improved so that a correlation of three characteristic boundaries in the lower crust became possible along the profile. The transition between crust and mantle is found to be partially step-wise.

Zusammenfassung

Entlang einem speziellen Weitwinkelprofil wurden Vertikalreflexionen mit Laufzeiten zwischen 4 und 10 Sekunden beobachtet. Mit Hilfe digitaler Techniken konnte die Qualität der Seismogramme so wesentlich verbessert werden, daß entlang dem Profil die Korrelation von drei charakteristischen Grenzflächen in der tiefen Kruste möglich wurde. Demnach erfolgt der Übergang zwischen Kruste und Mantel teilweise in Stufen.
