Fig. 8From: Geographical distribution of shear wave anisotropy within marine sediments in the northwestern PacificResults of numerical simulation for anisotropic media. a Sketch for model space consisting of a horizontal transverse isotropy (HTI) top layer and an isotropic bottom layer with a flat interface at a depth of 2 km. The degree of anisotropy is dVp = 0 % and dVs = −4 %. The source distribution is homogeneous. b Auto-correlation functions (ACFs) as a function of polarization direction, calculated with the model in Fig. 8a. c Map view of the source distribution used in the calculation of the ACFs shown in Fig. 8d. d Same as Fig. 8b but for the sources in Fig. 8cBack to article page
