Surface Waves Dispersion for the Continent-ocean Transition Zone^*

Abstract

The present article lists the results of studying the group-velocity dispersion of Love and Rayleigh surface waves in connection with the crustal structure of the Sea of Okhotsk and the Bering Sea. The dispersion of group velocities was determined for earthquakes of the Aleutian, the Kuril and the Japanes Islands and of Kamchatka. Records of surface waves at the station of Yakutsk, Tixi, Petropavlovsk, Magadan, Okha, Uglegorsk, South-Sakhalinsk, North-Kurilsk were used.
The crustal structure in a number of places of this area was determined by various geophysical methods, ^{1), 2)} but the propagation of surface waves on this territory is practically not yet investigated.
