英文摘要Seismic anisotropy beneath the Tian Shan Mt range has been well studied with shear wave splitting. The origin of asthenospheric anisotropy is mainly attributed to the north-south shortening. However, the crustal anisotropy and its depth variation are poorly constrained. In this study, we focus on inversion of Rayleigh wave phase velocity azimuthal anisotropy in the 5-35 s period bands beneath the Tian Shan Mt range through analysis of continuous seismic ambient noise. We use approximately 7 months of available continuous seismic data recorded by 31 broadband seismic stations deployed in the Tian Shan Mt range. The tomographic results reveal substantial variations in the azimuthal anisotropy with an increase in the depth. In the upper crustal depths, the orogen-parallel or orogen-subparallel azimuthal anisotropy observed in the Tian Shan Mt range likely originates from the lattice-preferred orientation of crustal minerals in response to compression, whereas the orogen-perpendicular or orogen-sub-perpendicular azimuthal anisotropy in the southern and northern piedmont of the Tian Shan Mt range is related to the stress-alignment of cracks/fractures due to ongoing north-south shortening. The pattern of azimuthal anisotropy in the middle to lower crustal and upper-most mantle is different from that at the upper crustal depths. An orogen-perpendicular or orogen-sub-perpendicular fast direction associated with prominent lower velocities has been observed north and south of Lake Issyk-Kul. The spatial correlation between the azimuthal anisotropy and the lower velocity anomalies at the middle to lower crustal and upper-most mantle depths may suggest a warm, melt-rich upper mantle below the Tian Shan Mt range, which could be attributed to the upwelling asthenospheric mantle flow in that region.
