On their way to the surface seismic waves undergo modifications through effects of geometric and inelastic attenuation as well as through reflection and refraction. In seismology these phenomena are treated mathematically with the so-called Green’s function. In the context of synthetic seismogram generation the simulated seismogram is obtained as the convolution of the source time [...]

The description of the seismic source follows an approach proposed by Boore (1983). Boore’s method starts with the generation of a gaussian white noise. A window is applied to the noise which has the form

a is set to 1 since the scaling is done in the frequency domain, H(t) is the Heaviside function, and [...]
