Primes

• Dispersion
  • In acoustics and seismology, wave packets composed of multiple frequencies spread in dispersive media because phase velocity depends on frequency, and seismic surface waves are interpreted by inverting the dispersion relation to recover earth structure.

    This sourceSurface-wave dispersion (frequency-dependent phase velocity) inverted to recover Earth structure.

Domain-specific

• Anelastic attenuation factor
  • Seismic quality factor Q quantifies anelastic attenuation, with higher Q meaning lower intrinsic energy loss and Q^{-1} proportional to fractional loss per cycle.
• Teleseism
  • … the distinction between constitutive identity and a convenient observable transfers from A canonical example satisfies the full defining rule of Teleseism with assumptions and conventions explicit. to A careful use of Teleseism tests the constitutive rule and nearest confusable rather than relying on the label alone..
