The Seismic Wave Equation
3.1 Introduction: The Wave Equation To motivate our discussion, consider the one-dimensional wave equation ∂2u ∂t2 = c2 ∂2u ∂x2 (3.1) and its general solution u(x,t) = f(x±ct), (3.2) which represents waves of arbitrary shape propagating at velocity cin the positive and negative xdirections. This is a very common equation in physics and ...

igppweb.ucsd.eduVersion 1.4 Multivariate Probability 4-3 Figure 4.2 X2 falling in a certain range is not unrelated to the probability ofX1 falling in a cer- tain (perhaps different) range: for example,if X1 is around zero, X2 will tend to be; if X1 is far from zero, X2 will be positive.Wewill see how to formalize this later.Itis this ability to express relationships that makes multivariate probability suchause-
9. Spherical Harmonics
igppweb.ucsd.edu9. Spherical Harmonics Now we come to some of the most ubiquitous functions in geophysics,used in gravity, geomagnetism and seismology.Spherical harmonics are the Fourier series for the sphere.These functions can are used to build solutions to Laplace’sequation and other differential equations in a spherical setting.
SYNTHETIC APERTURE RADAR (SAR) SUMMARY Range …
igppweb.ucsd.eduThe local earth radius is given by † re(j)= cos2j a2 + sin2j c2 Ê Ë Á ˆ ¯ ˜ -1/2 where j is latitude, and a and c are the equatorial (6378 km) and polar (6357 km) radii, respectively. The look angle of the radar depends only on the local earth radius re, the range to the sphere r, and the height of the spacecraft above the center of the ...
