Quasi-Cartesian finite-difference computation of seismic wave propagation for a three-dimensional sub-global model

Abstract A simple and efficient finite-difference scheme is developed to calculate seismic wave propagation in a partial spherical shell model of a three-dimensionally (3-D) heterogeneous global Earth structure for modeling on regional or sub-global scales where the effects of the Earth’s spherical...
