Supplementary material includes four figures and a movie that supplement the article.

The underlying data were all processed as described in the main text.

Figure S1. Record sections of all nine cross-correlation functions of broadband data.

Earthquake-station pairs with propagation directions between 220 and 370 degrees were reversed, so that the positive lag times correspond to energy arriving from NNE through SSW. The gray lines on the ZZ and RR components denote a 1.1 km/s moveout speed. Each waveform is normalized relative to its own maximum amplitude.

Figure S2. Sensitivity of the phase velocity of Rayleigh waves calculated for the fundamental and first higher modes, using the velocity model in Table 1. Red solid line is for Vs, green dashed line for Vp and blue dashed line for density. Left: sensitivity of the fundamental mode. Right: sensitivity of the first higher mode. Top:

Phase velocity sensitivity. Bottom: Sensitivity of H/V ratio.

19 Figure S3. More detailed version of Figure 4. Absolute value of H/V ratios from

20 synthetic modeling (curve), and the observed distributions over all station pairs of the

21 maximum amplitude of the radial component divided by the maximum amplitude of

22 the vertical component for the given mode (see text for definition). Box and whiskers

23 plots are separated into those from the entire distribution (gray); from just the

24 westward-propagating paths (blue); and from the eastward-propagating paths (red).

25 Note that the same shape as a function of period is seen in all manifestations (a) 1st

26 order mode (b) fundamental mode. Note the change of scale for the period axis,

27 since the windows of the 1st order mode had smaller window lengths than that of the

28

29 Figure S4. SNR for the (a) fundamental (mode 0 for frequencies between 0.08 and

30 0.2 Hz) and (b) first higher mode (mode 1 for frequencies between 0.4 and 1 Hz). For

31 each station pair, two bars with opposite directions are plotted at each station. The

32 length of each bar is proportional to the SNR at positive or negative lag (whichever is

33 appropriate) multiplied by the square root of the inter-station distance (Lin et al.,

34 2007). The directions point along the great-circle linking the stations in the direction

35 toward which the energy propagates. For example, energy propagating from the south

36 will be represented by a northward pointing bar. Colors represent different

37 components: Yellow are RR, red is ZZ and blue is TT.

39 S5. Movie of the Rayleigh wave propagation for the velocity model in Table 1. Red

40 circles represent the synthetic particle motion due to a horizontal force at 0.75 km

41 depth calculated from the velocity model in Table 1. The particle motion is band

42 passed between 0.4-1 Hz.
