Scientific paper

A comprehensive study of the Frechet kernels and group velocities of the Earth's normal modes is conducted based upon the asymptotic eigenfrequency and eigenfunction analyses that the authors developed previously. Two different approaches, which employ the eigenfunctions or eigenfrequency equations, yield asymptotically equivalent results for the Frechet kernels and group velocities. The latter approach is considerably simpler, since the need to specify the normal-mode eigenfunctions as well as their radial derivatives is removed, so that the Frechet kernels and group velocities can be obtained from knowledge of the asymptotic eigenfrequencies only. The asymptotic analyses are discussed for all possible ray parameter regimes and ray-path combinations within a crustless version of the Earth model 1066A with two discontinuities: a core-mantle boundary and an inner core boundary. The exact and asymptotic numerical results for the Frechet kernels and group velocities are compared for such a model. The comparison shows that the asymptotic Frechet kernels and group velocities are very accurate. The accuracy is better for toroidal modes and relatively high-frequency spheroidal modes.
