Combined application of FTAN and cross-spectra analysis to ambient noise recorded by a microseismic monitoring network by Ilaria Barone, Alessandro Brovelli, Giorgio Tango, Sergio Del Gaudio, Giorgio Cassiani

“…Group and phase velocity dispersion curves have been jointly inverted to retrieve as many shear-wave velocity profiles as selected station pairs. While the average model can be used for a more accurate location of the local natural seismicity, the associated standard deviations give us an indication of the lateral heterogeneity of seismic velocities as a function of depth. …”
