As one can see, the brightest beam in the wavefield, as well as all the secondary ones to its left, are curving to the right as they propagate!

Lippmann started out with a pattern of standing waves, where a wavefield meets itself again after it is reflected in a mirror.

Analysis of the seismic wavefield generated by the blast shows the source can be characterized as 70-80 percent dilational (explosive-like) and 20-30 percent deviatoric (earthquake-like).

By thoroughly analyzing the wave velocities measuring of cores, the cause of seismic response to gas anomalies in crystalline rocks can be explained as follows: gas contained in tiny fissures of crystalline rocks can cause a significant decrease of seismic wave velocity (especially the velocity of S-wave) and make a series of seismic responses in seismic wavefield relating to the velocity decrease of S-wave.
