The effect of P wave velocity on the H-k stacking results of receiver functions

This paper systematically investigates the effect of P wave velocity on the H-k stacking results of receiver functions by three aspects of theoretical analyses, numerical tests and observed data processing. The results show that the P wave velocity is positively correlated with crustal depth H, and negatively correlated with wave velocity ratio k. Moreover, the more complex the crust model is, the larger effect P wave velocity has on H.
