Calculation of Theoretical Travel Time and Automatic Picking of Actual Travel Time in Seismic Data

We used the ray tracing technique based on the IASP91 Earth model to calculate the travel times in order to identify the phases. This technique can calculate the travel times for the seismic phases in the conventional travel time tables. The waveform data received from the stations in the Guangxi ar...

Summary:We used the ray tracing technique based on the IASP91 Earth model to calculate the travel times in order to identify the phases. This technique can calculate the travel times for the seismic phases in the conventional travel time tables. The waveform data received from the stations in the Guangxi area are selected for analysis and discussion. The outcomes of the numerical modeling and its use demonstrate that there is good agreement in terms of the absolute differences between the calculated and theoretical travel times from the ISAP91 tables. The relative residuals are determined directly from the actual arrival times picking during the correlation analysis, and the validity of the travel time method for picking seismic phases by correlation analysis can be demonstrated.
