Ambient Noise Attenuation Tomography Reveals an Asymmetric Damage Zone Across San Jacinto Fault Near Anza, California by Xin Liu, Gregory C. Beroza, Yehuda Ben‐Zion

“…We extract amplitude decay information, with uncertainty, from noise interferometry functions. To account for strong heterogeneities in the complex shallow fault zone structure, we apply a frequency‐dependent amplitude correction for focusing/defocusing effects using inverted phase velocity maps obtained by solving the transport equation. …”
