Abstract
AbstractTo study the depths of seismic discontinuities in the upper mantle using the observed receiver function, this paper developed an inversion method of peeling genetic algorithm: dividing the whole depth into several sections from surface and doing inversion for the velocity gradually; peeling the effects of multiple reflected and reflect‐transformed phases at the shallower discontinuities on the refract‐transformed phase at the deeper one. Floating point coding, arithmetical crossover, and non‐uniform mutation were used in the genetic algorithm of inversion in each section. The method was checked using the model ispai'91 and applied to the inversion of velocity structure beneath HIA station.
