weathered layer

Thispaper makes use of surface waves to find Q-Value in weathered layer.

Weathered layer absorbs seismic waves greatly. Compensation for the absorption due to weathered layer can improve resolution of seismic data.

There are 4 layers in typical profile of slope disintegration: the red soil layer, the sandy soil layer, the detritus layer and the crack weathered layer(also claimed the globular weathered layer);
