Shear-wave velocity structure of sediments from the inversion of explosion-induced Rayleigh waves: Comparison with cross-hole measurements

Rayleigh waves generated by a 10-kg dynamite explosion were recorded along a dense, linear array of 47 seismic stations. The array had a total length of 1.4 km, and it was deployed on the sediments of the Po River floodplain near the city of Ferrara (Northern Italy).
