| dc.description.abstract | The full elastic seismic wavefield propagates through an isotropic Earth consisting of a P-wave component and two shear wave (SV and SH) components.
Usually, the near-surface shear-wave seismic surveys typically employ horizontally polarized (SH) waves because they are more easily distinguished from compressional (P) waves, and they generally do not convert to P waves as readily as vertically polarized shear (SV) waves (Haines 2007). Also, at the moment, there are no high-power SV-sources on the market. Therefore, Geotomographie Gmbh developed a novel SV source which is described in Deliverable D1.7. | en_US |
