Abstract
An analytical solution is obtained for seismic wave fields in a spherically symmetric Earth. Asymptotics is used for stable calculation of wave fields. It is shown that the classical asymptotics in the case of a ball of large (in wavelengths) dimensions gives an error in the solution. The original asymptotics is used for efficient calculation of a solution without errors with high detail. A program has been created that makes it possible to carry out calculations for high-frequency (1 hertz and higher) teleseismic wave fields in a discrete (layered) sphere of planetary dimensions. Calculations can be carried out on personal computers with OpenMP parallelization. In the works of V. Yu. Burmina (2010, 2019) proposed a spherically symmetric model of the Earth. It is characterized by the fact that in it the outer core has a viscosity and, therefore, an effective shear modulus other than zero. For this model of the Earth, a highly detailed calculation was carried out with a carrier frequency of 1 hertz. As a result of the analytical calculation, it was found that high-frequency oscillations of small amplitude, the so-called “precursors,” appear ahead of the PKP waves. An analytical calculation showed that the theoretical seismograms for this model of the Earth are in many respects similar to the experimental data. This confirms the correctness of the ideas underlying its construction.
