“…In particular, Wang et al (2019) proposed an array-based method (the frequency-Bessel transform method, abbreviated as the F-J method) to obtain the higher-mode Rayleigh wave dispersion from NCFs. Subsequently, a series of higher-mode surface wave studies were conducted based on this method: Li and Chen (2020) extended this method to earthquake surface waves; Hu et al (2020) applied this method to Love waves; Wu et al (2020) extracted higher-mode dispersion curves from multiple regions of the USArray; Chen et al (2022), Fu et al (2022) and Zhan et al (2020) used this method to image the three-dimensional Vs structure in Southeast China, Long Beach and Northeast China, respectively; Li, Shi, and Chen (2021) and Li et al (2022) observed leaking mode dispersion curves by using this method.…”
