Extracting Seismic Body and Rayleigh Waves from the Ambient Seismic Noise Using the rms‐Stacking Method

The cross correlation of ambient seismic noise recordings can be used to extract the empirical Green’s functions (hereafter EGFs) between pair of receivers (Shapiro and Compillo, 2004). In the past few years, extensive research has been performed on this topic around the world in various fields including travel‐time tomography (Sabra et al., 2005; Shapiro et al., 2005; Yao et al., 2006; Yang et al., 2007; Ward et al. 2013; Young et al., 2013), anisotropy (Guo et al., 2012; Shirzad and Shomali, 2014),...
