The scattering and attenuation of high-frequency seismic waves are considered important characteristics to be quantified to physically characterize the Earth medium. This chapter presents the measurements of attenuation of seismic waves and discusses physical mechanisms of attenuation in the lithosphere, including intrinsic absorption and scattering loss because of distributed heterogeneities. As a model of attenuation, it introduces an approach for calculating the amount of scattering loss in… CONTINUE READING
