Full waveform inversion of ocean bottom seismometer data from the oceanic Pacific Plate of the Japan trench
Bibliographic record
Abstract
SUMMARY The geometrical and seismic structure of the Pacific oceanic Plate of the Japan Trench is essential for the understanding of earthquake activity in the area. Ocean Bottom Seismometer (OBS) data can be used, via ray-based tomography, to obtain estimates of properties such as crust thickness and structure, hydration and depth to the Moho boundary. The spatial resolution of these properties can be substantially improved by using the full waveform inversion (FWI) method. Most OBS data in this area are acquired with a sparse receiver spacing of 5–6 km, whereas FWI is assumed to work best with denser (1–2 km) receiver spacing. We show that FWI can be adapted to sparsely sampled data with better resolution than traveltime tomography. Using a 500 km long OBS longitudinal profile from the Japan Trench we obtain a detailed velocity structure of the crust, a better definition of the Moho boundary, a well-defined low-velocity layer in the lower crust and a clear spatial definition of areas with velocity inversions.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
