Abstract
The cross-correlations of ambient noise or earthquake codas are massively used in seismic tomography to measure the dispersion curves of surface waves and the travel times of body waves. Such measurements are based on the assumption that these kinematic parameters in the cross-correlations of noise coincide with those in Green's functions. However, the relation between the cross-correlations of noise and Green's functions deserves to be studied more precisely. In this paper, we use the asymptotic analysis to study the dispersion relations of surface waves and the travel times of body waves, and come to the conclusion that for the spherically symmetric Earth model, when the distribution of noise sources is laterally uniform, the dispersion relations of surface waves and the travel times of SH body-wave phases in noise correlations should be exactly the same as those in Green's functions.
