Small seismic velocity variations are observed in reservoirs because of small variations in reservoir properties, which affect the first arrivals. Hence, first arrivals cannot be used to detect small seismic velocity variations. However, small variations can be reliably detected by the coda waves because of the amplification owing to multiple scattering. We investigate the ability of coda wave interferometry to detect seismic velocity variations and monitor time-lapse reservoir characteristics using numerical simulations and experimental data. We use the Marmousi II model and finite-difference methods to build model seismic data and introduce small seismic velocity variations in the target layer. We examine the model seismic data before and after the changes and observe the coda waves. We find that velocity changes can be detected by coda wave interferometry and demonstrate that coda wave interferometry can be used in monitoring time- lapse reservoir characteristics.展开更多

Stress tolerance was evaluated in the T3 plants under extreme temperature and salinity conditions.The plants of transgenic line 1(L1) showed significantly higher net photosynthetic rate(Pn) and Pn recovery rate under high(45°C,4 h) and low temperature(1°C,48 h) treatments,and higher photosynthetic rate under high salinity conditions(100,200,and 300 mmol/L NaCl,respectively) than the wild-type plants.The enhanced tolerance to high temperature and high salinity stresses in transgenic plants is associated with the accumulation of betaine,which is not found in the wild-type plants.Our results indicate that the introduction of codA gene from Arthrobacter globiformis into Brassica compestris L.spp.chinensis could be a potential strategy for improving the plant tolerance to multiple stresses.展开更多

Localized increase amounted to a level ranging from 4% to 16%along the fault is observed during the 1-hour experiment. We discuss that the frictional strength at mesoscopic scale,which is related to the amplitude of coda transmission waves,is responsible for the phenomenon. Combining the reported method with other complementary approaches will enhance the understanding of fault mechanism either at laboratory or on-site applications.展开更多

Furthermore, assuming a certain source model, we have obtained the station site frequency response and source spectra, as well as source parameters such as corner frequencies, seismic moments and stress drops and so on. Their variations with time are monitored before and after larger earthquakes. Because the coda method can more effectively reduce the influence of source radiation pattern and a particular propagation path than direct wave method, more data can be used and more accurate results can be obtained, which provided a possible approach to study the source properties and reveal the variation of source parameters before larger earthquakes.展开更多

The digital seismic data of 69 earthquakes from Beijing Telemetered Seismographic Network are used.These earthquakes were recorded from January 1, 1989 to December 31,1990 at 20 stations. This paper shows the variations of the coda Q-factors in the studied region with different sites, frequency and lapse time, and the temporal change of the coda Q-factors in these two years. The results indicate that coda Q-factor depends strongly on the lapse time and frequency. It is assumed that when Qc=Q0f″, for the three time windows of 15 -30 s, 30-60 s and 60-90 s, the average values of Q0 are 48, 115 and 217; and the average values of ηare 0.89, 0. 91 and 0. 74, respectively.展开更多

The records were firstly processed by the stacked spectral ratio method to obtain Q0 (Q at 1 Hz) and the frequency correlation factor η corresponding to each path. Based on the results, the distribution images of Q0 and η in 1°×1° grids for Xinjiang region were gained by the back-projection technique. The results indicate that Q0 is high (300-450) in the Tarim platform and marginal Siberian platform, while Q0 is low (150-250) in the southern regions as west Kunlun fold system and Songpan-Ganzi fold system. In the northern regions as Junggar fold system and Tianshan fold system, Q0 is also low (250-300) and η varies between 0.5 and 0.9.展开更多

These records were used to calculate Q0 (Q at 1Hz) and η values of Lg coda from each station by the stack spectral ratio (SSR) method. Then the tomography method was applied to obtaining lateral variation of Q0 and η values in Chinese mainland and adjacent regions. The result indicates that Q0 value varies between 150 and 600 in the studied areas. Yunnan, southwest Sichuan, and northwest Myanmar show the lowest Q0 value (Q0〈240) and the crust of these regions is characterized by complicated crack and strong hydrothermal activity. The highest Q0 value (Qo〉510) exists in the border of southern Mongolia, Alxa and Ordos block. The η value varies between 0.45 and 0.75 in Chinese mainland and its adjacent regions.展开更多

The results show that there exists obvious non-uniformity of coda attenuation ratio β(f) given by the two stations in small region. When f less than or equal 6.0 Hz the coda attenuation ratio β(f) observed on both sides of earthquake-generating fault are basically identical. Yunlong station is located on east side and Tianxin station on west side. The corresponding Qc(f) is in the range of 66-120. However, in the range of high frequency (f greater than or equal 6.0 Hz) the coda in near field going through major fault encounters a strong absorption from the fracture zone. The β(f) going through the fault observed at Yunlong station is 30% lower than that in Tianxin station in which the seismic waves do not go through the fault. The reason for the difference in space distribution of coda attenuation is discussed. The results also show that factor A0(f) of wave source is not only related to the source strength, but also to frequency f. The mean free path L of S wave obtained using 1.5-20 Hz is respectively 30 km on east side of the fault and 40 km on west side, from which it is verified that there is a stronger dispersion body when seismic waves go through the fracture zone.展开更多
