S-wave Splitting Analysis: Covariance Matrix Method and Preliminary Application

From polarization analysis on a covariance matrix, a method of S-wave splitting analysis is developed, which processes 3-component recordings simultaneously, rather than just 2 horizontal components as done traditionally. Thus not only orientation, but also dip information of fractures can be resolv...
