ESTUDO DE REFRAÇÃO SÍSMICA NA REGIÃO QUE ABRANGE A ESTAÇÃO SISMOGRÁFICA DE ANGRA DOS REIS (ESAR)

The project studies the structural characteristics of the main layers of the crust in the region of the Seismographic Station of Angra dos Reis (ESAR), through the method of deep seismic refraction (RSP), defining the value of some seismological parameters, which are used for epicentral determination of the local seismic activity.<br>To complete the study of crust (it wasn’t possible to get all the RSP points wanted), the method Receiver Function was used to characterize the structure of the crust under ESAR. The results of both methods were used in the program TVEL that helped modeling the missing part of the RSP line. This model allowed to get relations between distance and the time S-P of the arrival of these waves.
