Three dimensional velocity structure beneath the Kunming Telemetered Seismic Network

Based on the P wave first arrival time data of 275 local earthquakes recorded by Kunming Telemetered Seismic Network from 1982 to 1989, a 3-D velocity structure beneath the network was obtained by the separationmethod of focal parameter and medium structure parameter and 3-D approximate ray tracing. In view of 'thesituation that the intervals between stations in the network is relatively long, and the local first arrival phasemay be Pn instead of P, so we simulated Pn as the diving wave from the layer beneath Moho and using approximate ray tracing method on the grid model. The final 3-D velocity structure is basically consistent withthe result from the deep seismic sounding and the anomaly inversion of Bouguer gravity. The Dianzhong area(in the vicinity of Dukou and Chuxiong) shows an obvious high velocity zone at depth of 45 km, which canbe interpreted as the uplift of Moho discontinuity. The upper crust in this area displays lower velocity zone,so the uplift of Moho discontinuity is considered as the result of isostatic compensation. The configuration ofvelocity contours indicates that the upper crust and lower crust are complicated, while the middle crust is relatively simple. This feature reveals that Yunnan area belongs to modern tectonically active region. As themain boundary of the major tectonic units in the study area, although there is no obvious evidence about lowvelocity anomaly zone along the Red River Fault, the fault shows up th feature of sturctural divide on themid-lower crustal velocity contours, and it is inferred that the fault passes through the Moho-discontinuity atleast.
