Abstract The excitation of surface waves depends on the frequency-dependent eigenfunctions of the Earth, which are determined numerically. As a consequence, radiation patterns of Rayleigh and Love waves cannot be calculated analytically and vary with source depth and with frequency. Owing to the importance of surface-wave amplitudes for inversions of source processes as well as studies of the elastic and anelastic structure of the Earth, assessing surface-wave radiation patterns for different source mechanisms is desirable. A data product developed in collaboration with the Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology (IRIS) Consortium provides visualizations of the radiation patterns for Rayleigh and Love waves for all possible source mechanisms. Radiation patterns for known earthquakes are based on the moment tensors reported by the Global Centroid Moment Tensor project. These source mechanisms can be modified or moment tensor components can be chosen by the user to assess their effect on Rayleigh- and Love-wave radiation patterns.

abstract Observations of Love and Rayleigh waves on WWSSN and Canadian Network seismograms have been used to place constraints upon the source parameters of the August 1, 1975, Oroville earthquake. The 20-sec surface-wave magnitude is 5.6. The surface-wave radiation pattern is consistent with the fault geometry determined by the body-wave study of Langston and Butler (1976). The seismic moment of this event was determined to be 1.9 × 1025 dyne-cm by both time-domain and long-period (T ≥ 50 sec) spectral amplitude determinations. This moment value is significantly greater than that determined by short-period studies. This difference, together with the low seismic efficiency of this earthquake, indicates that the character of the source is intrinsically different at long periods from those aspects which dominate the shorter-period spectrum.
