Abstract: | The quality factors of coda and shear waves have been estimated for the SE Sabalan Mountain, geothermal region in northwestern
Iran. We have analyzed 65 local earthquakes with magnitude of 2.8 to 6.1 and 2.8 to 5 for shear and coda wave quality factor
estimation, respectively. These events were recorded on five stations installed by Building and Housing Research Center Network.
Coda normalization and Spectral decay methods have been used to estimate the frequency dependence attenuation relation for
shear wave, and single back-scattering method for coda waves. We have observed that the coda normalization method has supplied
significantly higher Q
S
values as compared to the spectral method. The results show that, in general, Q values are significantly smaller for the entire frequency range as compared to tectonically active areas and are close to
the values for volcanic areas. |
