16. Kolinsky and Malek: Upper mantle of the Bohemian Massif16 contents motivation data surface wave analysis polarization phase velocity dispersion curves structure conclusion phase velocity

17. Kolinsky and Malek: Upper mantle of the Bohemian Massif17 contents motivation data surface wave analysis polarization phase velocity dispersion curves structure conclusion - the dispersion curves are computed by matrix method Proskuryakova et al. (1981 ) - it uses modified Thomson – Haskell matrices - Isometric Method (IM) was developed for solving weakly non-linear inverse problems with many parameters Malek et al. (2005 and 2007) structure – inversion problem

18. Kolinsky and Malek: Upper mantle of the Bohemian Massif18 contents motivation data surface wave analysis polarization phase velocity dispersion curves structure conclusion - similar dispersion curves may correspond to different velocity models - measured dispersion points can be fitted by different smooth dispersion curves inversion non-uniqueness

19. Kolinsky and Malek: Upper mantle of the Bohemian Massif19 contents motivation data surface wave analysis polarization phase velocity dispersion curves structure conclusion - during Love wave phase velocity inversion we look for v S model - during Rayleigh wave phase velocity inversion we look for v S and v P /v S ratio - depths of interfaces are fixed during the inversion parameters

23. Kolinsky and Malek: Upper mantle of the Bohemian Massif23 contents motivation data surface wave analysis polarization phase velocity dispersion curves structure conclusion conclusions - phase velocities in the period range of 30 – 200 s were studied at the short station distances of 150 and 170 km - Rayleigh wave phase velocity dispersion curves are well pronounced in the whole period range - Love wave phase velocity dispersion curves are well pronounced only in limited period range of 30 – 110 s - continental path gives clearer Rayleigh wave fundamental mode while oceanic path gives clearer Love wave fundamental mode - Rayleigh waves from Z and R components give slightly different results (anisotropy?) - S-wave velocity in the upper mantle of the Bohemian Massif reaches minimum around the depth of 130 km
