Abstract
Abstract The assessment of site response is an important task for improved seismic hazard estimation. The standard tools and approaches, however, generally neglect the cross-coupling effect among the three components of motion due to heterogeneities in the underground structure. In this study, we propose a means to estimate cross-coupling effects by the inversion of the deconvolved wavefield derived from seismic noise analysis. These functions are obtained by deconvolving the three components of the ground motion recorded at a site with those recorded at a reference site. The proposed procedure is applied to a set of recordings collected in the Sarca Valley (northeastern Italy) by a temporary seismometric network. The results show that the cross-coupling components are not negligible, and are related to lateral variations in the bedrock surface and heterogeneities within the sedimentary cover.
