摘要

A Monte Carlo based algorithm is developed to improve the 1D velocity inversion routines and minimize bias due to the choice of a starting model. Using this algorithm, a well-resolved six-layer minimum 1D velocity model, down to ~24 km depth, is determined for the Garhwal-Kumaun Himalaya. A total of 4765 P- and 4724 S-phase travel times of local earthquakes recorded at 53 broadband seismic stations are used for this purpose. The travel time-distance curves from these carefully analyzed phase data of events are used to subsequently derive a prior 1D velocity model. Forward modeling of the travel time-distance curve yields an average Moho depth of ~46 km and bulk crustal P- and S-wave velocity values of 7.60 and 4.47 km/s, respectively. To circumvent the subjectivity due to manual intervention in the inversion and automate the process, we propose a Monto Carlo style semirandom generation of initial trial velocity models, guided by the initial values derived from forward modeling. The estimated minimum 1D model reveals P- and S-wave velocities increasing from 5.17 to 6.85 km/s and 3.12 to 3.82 km/s, respectively, from the surface to a depth of 26 km. Subsequently, an optimum model is constructed for the region by incorporating the Moho layer in the minimum 1D model.
