Earthquake mechanisms from linear-programming inversion of seismic-wave amplitude ratios

Abstract The amplitudes of radiated seismic waves contain far more information about earthquake source mechanisms than do first-motion polarities, but amplitudes are severely distorted by the effects of heterogeneity n the Earth. This distortion can be reduced greatly by using the ratios of amplitud...
