近台资料对近震相对定位算法的影响

从地震定位的基本原理出发,分析认为近台资料可用于双差定位算法,但不能用于其他相对定位方法.在此基础上,通过分析和模拟计算表明,应用近台资料时,双差法有可能给出一定精度的地震绝对位置.但仅采用近台资料时,相对位置的误差会比使用远台资料时有所增加.近台和远台资料的联合使用,有利于得到较为精确的定位结果.当震源深度远小于震中距时,如果没有深度震相的参与,只能得到误差较小的震中相对分布,深度的相对位置仍有较大的误差.对2003年新疆伽师地震余震序列中部分余震的重新定位试验,验证了近台资料对双差定位算法的上述影响.     

Crustal phases in earthquake location

For crustal earthquakes of moderate or large size, the first reported phases at distant stations are usually the first predicted by the crustal model used. For smaller events, however, or for stations at larger distances, the first phase detected is often a later crustal phase of larger amplitude. This may be eitherPg which travels entirely in the upper crustal layer with a velocity of about 5.6 km/s, orP ^* with a path mainly in the lower crustal layer at a velocity of about 6.7 km/s. Many earthquake location programs do not take account of these phases, and treat their arrivals as if they were the earlier phasePn. At the International Seismological Centre we re-identify up to 200 crustal phases each month. This often results in significant improvement in position, the direct determination of depth or even the obtaining of a formal solution where none was possible before. We find that these re-identifications are needed in most continental areas of the world, and that the original crustal model of Jeffreys and Bullen still remains a useful standard.On leave from the Seismological Laboratory, Institute for Earth Physics, P.

利用矩张量反演法研究江苏高邮—宝应M_S4.9级地震震源机制解和震源深度

基于江苏、安徽、山东和浙江等省区域台网共19个宽频带数字台站的地震波形,采用HypoDD双差定位方法确定了2012年7月20日江苏高邮—宝应MS4.9级地震震中位置,再利用时间域矩张量反演法TDMT_INV获得了其震源机制解和震源深度.反演结果显示:最佳双力偶解为节面Ⅰ走向290°,倾角88°,滑动角-21°;节面Ⅱ走向21°,倾角69°,滑动角-177°,地震矩震级为MW4.95,震源深度约为7~9km.利用滑动时窗相关法提取sPn震相测定震源深度为8.95km,两者一致性较好.随后不同地壳模型和不同震中定位误差对反演结果的影响试验揭示了反演结果具有稳定性.通过以下几种分析:1与利用CAP(Cut and Paste)矩张量反演法得到的结果进行对比;2P波初动投影;3正反演试验探求反演结果不稳定的影响因素等方法,验证了反演结果的可靠性.综合本文研究成果、震后科学考察结果(包括重力测量和地震烈度分布图)及现有的地质构造资料,推测此次地震的发震构造为杨汊仓—桑树头断裂,节面Ⅱ为断层面,是一个右旋走滑兼有少量正断层性质的错动.     

汶川8.0级地震以及其它大震前的地电阻率异常特征

对2008年汶川8.0级地震前周边远近台站的电阻率异常特征进行了分析.离震中400 km内的郫县、甘孜、冕宁、武都四个台站基本都存在1年以上的中期异常;距震中较远的兰州台和天水台则出现了短临异常变化.总结了我国9次7级以上大震前地电阻率台观测资料,认为电阻率异常形态以负异常为主,在极值附近或转折恢复过程中发生地震.震中附近台站多数有异常,大部分为一年以上中期的变化,年变形态消失;震前能观测到短临变化;一般在极值点附近发震.较远台站部分存在异常;短期和临震异常变化相对增多;在回升过程中或异常恢复后发震.     

sPL,一个近距离确定震源深度的震相

实际地震波形观测表明,对于大陆结构相对简单的地壳中的地震而言,有一震相出现在P 波和S波之间.一般在30~50 km附近发育得较好,其能量主要集中在径向分量,而垂向分量的振幅相对径向要小,切向分量上的振幅很弱,且波形以低频为主,通常没有P波尖锐.在利用FK方法计算合成地震图的基础上,发现该震相是由S波入射到自由地表形成水平传播的P波(文献称为surface P wave,自由地表P波)或者包括S波入射到地表后形成的多次P波或其散射震相.由于该震相是由S波和P波之间耦合而形成,本文将其定义为sPL(s coupled into P) 震相.理论波形研究表明,sPL相对直达P波的到时差对震中距离不敏感,而随着震源深度的增加几乎呈线性增加,因此可以很好的约束震源深度.本文以2005年江西九江地震为例,证实了sPL确定震源深度的可行性和可靠性.在观测到sPL震相的情况下,离震源50 km以内的一个三分量地震台站的波形就可以帮助获得可靠的震源深度,而不需要精确的震中距离.由于sPL震相出现距离较近,对于较小(三级以上)的地震也可以应用,因此在稀疏台网布局情形下sPL对于确定中小地震深度应该具有很好的应用意义.     

Analysis of Anomalous Characteristics of Regional Crustal Deformation before the September 16th, 2019 Zhangye MS5.0 Earthquake, Gansu, China

To study the crustal movement in the vicinity of the epicenter before the Zhangye M_S5.0 earthquake in 2019, the characteristics of crustal deformation before the earthquake are discussed through the GPS velocity field analysis based on the CMONOC data observed from GPS. The baseline time series between two continuous GPS stations and the strain time series of an area among several stations are analyzed in the epicenter area. The resulting time series of baseline azimuth around the epicenter reflects that the energy of the fault in the northern margin of Qilian Mountain is accumulated continuously before 2017. Besides, the movement trend of azimuth slows down after 2017, indicating the stress accumulation on both sides of the seismogenic fault zone has reached a certain degree. The first shear strain and EW-direction linear strain in the epicentral area of the Zhangye M_S5.0 earthquake remain steady after 2017, and the surface strain rate decreases gradually after 2016. It is illustrated that there is an obvious deformation loss at the epicentral region three years before the earthquake, indicating that a certain degree of strain energy is accumulated in this area before the earthquake.     

Focal Mechanisms of Weak Earthquakes from Amplitude Spectra and Polarities

—?The ASPO method (Amplitude Spectra and POlarities) for the focal-mechanism retrieval from relatively weak events is based on a widely available instrumental setup: A few broadband stations within a denser short-period network. Collectively all stations provide the epicenter location. Complete records are taken from three-component broadband stations, without selecting a particular wave type, or picking amplitudes. It makes the method suitable for automated data processing, and enables studies of the interference crustal phases. Only the amplitude spectra are inverted. This is a robust feature which makes the method insensitive to any timing problems (such as those due to uncertain origin time, or due to technical failures). The first-motion polarities serve as an additional constraint of the amplitude-spectra inversion; only few (clear) polarities are taken from the nearest stations, wher e they mostly belong to direct P waves. The method seeks five parameters: The focal depth, scalar moment, strike, dip, and rake. Green's function, automatically including possible near-field effects and interference (e.g., surface) waves, is calculated by the discrete wavenumber method. ASPO works below the corner frequency, and the time function is not being retrieved. This feature not only minimizes the number of the inverted parameters, but also speeds up the calculation, because the lower the frequency, the faster the discrete wavenumber run. Instead of an exceedingly slow 5-parameter grid search, the inversion is organized in two steps: (i) the depth and moment determination with a coarse grid search of the strike, dip and rake, and (ii) a fine grid search of the three source angles. Uncertainty of the best-fitting solution is assessed from the minimum error value and from the scatter of the nodal lines (and/or P and T axes) between min and min?+?10%. The method was tested on the clustered M?≈?3.5 earthquakes recorded by a temporary network of three CMG3-T broadband stations in western Corinth Gulf. A fundamental problem is that the broadband stations suffer systematically from event-induced instabilities at horizontal components if earthquakes of the studied magnitudes occur at short distances, 10–30?km. Therefore, the ASPO method could not be applied below 0.1?Hz. As such, the results are sensitive with respect to unknown crustal structure details, and the focal mechanisms remain rather uncertain (minimum error higher than 0.34). Compared to synthetic tests with perturbed data, in which the error is lower than 0.2, it is concluded that the crustal model needs further improvement.     

多层介质中利用sPn与Pn到时差确定震源深度的研究

为利用sPn与Pn波的走时差测定震源深度,进一步提高地震震源深度的测定精度,推导多层介质下sPn与Pn波的走时差与震源深度的关系,发现走时差与震中距无关,只与震源深度及区域地壳速度模型有关。震源在同一层中,走时差曲线的斜率不变,而当震源位于不同层中时,sPn-Pn走时差曲线的斜率不同,并呈分段直线的走时差曲线形态。地壳速度结构纵向越不均匀,多层和单层介质下利用sPn-Pn走时差计算的震源深度误差就越大,走时曲线的各分段直线斜率相差越大;探讨地壳中sPn与Pn波传播路径相同但波速不同的单层地壳速度模型,发现单层介质下波速越大,测定的震源深度越大;对于同一地区相同的地壳分层结构,测得的震源深度随着泊松比的增大而减小。基于前人给出的中国五个典型块体多层平均地壳模型,给出sPn-Pn走时差与震源深度计算公式速查表。     

2022年1月8日青海门源MS6.9地震前地磁垂直强度极化异常变化特征

基于甘青川地区的14个地磁台站秒采样资料,对2022年1月8日青海门源M_S6.9地震前地磁垂直强度极化异常的时空变化特征进行分析研究。计算结果显示,在2021年10月底出现了地磁极化超阈值高值异常变化,异常台站主要分布在青海、甘肃和四川地区,异常出现后73天发生了门源地震,震中位于极化高值异常阈值线附近。研究还发现,此次地磁极化异常具有一定的时空变化特征,时间上,不同台站极化异常具有较好的时间同步性;空间上,极化异常高值区呈现出沿震中附近出现后不断扩展最终再向震中收缩的特点。此外,各地磁极化异常台站的归一置零极化值、异常持续时间与震中距存在较好的负相关性,异常台站距离地震震中越近,其归一置零极化值越高,异常持续时间也越长,这一特征符合地震电磁扰动信号的衰减特征。根据极化异常和地震的时空关系分析认为,此次地磁极化高值异常对应了之后在异常高值区边缘发生的门源M_S6.9地震。     

地壳形变前兆及其应变量转换

归纳了自1975年以后华北地区13次中强以上地震的地壳形变短临前兆异常60例。统计地壳形变短临异常与地震的定性关系，发现距震中较远的台站异常出现较早，较近的台站异常出现较晚，地震的震级与异常的空间展布范围成正比，异常往往倾向震中或背向震中。跨断层的位移型形变异常形态有两大类：一类是趋势性异常变化，另一类是高频波动。本文提出了将连续型形变转化为应变的方法。从1989年10月16日大同－阳高61级地　震和1991年3月26日大同－阳高5．8缓地震的实例可见，地震往往发生在高应变区或其附　近，异常量级可达10－6。     

STUDY ON THE ELECTRICAL STRUCTURE OF THE ANQIU AND JUXIAN ELECTROMAGNETIC STATIONS IN THE TANLU FAULT ZONE

The Yishu fault zone is one of the branch faults of the Tanlu fault zone in its central part. Moderate and strong earthquakes occurred in the Yishu fault zone repeatedly. Due to its complex structure, the Yishu fault zone attracts much attention from earthquake researches. The Anqiu and Juxian electromagnetic stations in Shandong Province locate near the Anqiu-Juxian Fault and Changyi-Dadian Fault, which are branches of the Yishu fault zone, respectively. Geoelectric field and geomagnetic field observation were carried out in these two stations. The Wudi electromagnetic station is in the west of Tanlu fault zone in the Jidong-Bohai block and 230km from Anqiu electromagnetic station. This paper firstly describes the crustal structure near the electromagnetic stations by using magnetotelluric(MT)method. By processing the data carefully, we obtain the MT data in good quality near the stations. The MT data of each electromagnetic station and its nearby area suggests that the electrical structure and geological structure of the station are comparable. This paper applied 1-D and 2-D inversion for MT data and obtained the crustal electrical structure model beneath the Anqiu and Juxian seismic station. The shallow electrical structure from the MT method was compared with the results of symmetrical quadrupole electrical sounding. The model suggests that the electrical structure beneath the Anqiu and Juxian electromagnetic stations is complex and shows the feature of block boundary. The Wudi electromagnetic station is located inside a basin, the crustal structure shows layered feature typical for the stable blocks. Beneath the Anqiu electromagnetic station, there is a 1km-thick relative low resistivity layer in the shallow crust and a high resistivity body beneath it with a depth of 13km. There is a high resistivity structure in the crust beneath the Juxian electromagnetic station. The crustal structures are divided into two different parts by Anqiu-Juxian Fault and Changyi-Dadian Fault, respectively. More conductive layers appear to the west of the two faults. Plenty of fluid possibly exists within the conductive body to the west of Changyi-Dadian Fault, which plays important role in the earthquake generation. There is a relative low resistivity layer in the crust within 1~2km beneath the Wudi electromagnetic station. Beneath the relatively low resistivity layer, a relatively high resistivity layer extends to a depth of around 15km, and the resistivity value decreases with the increase of depth. The electrical resistivity model suggests the seismic activity of the Yishu fault zone around the Anqiu and Juxian electromagnetic stations should be taken into account seriously, and monitoring and research on it need to be strengthened. The results of this paper provide a certain reference value for the crustal structure research to similar stations.

The Crustal Velocity Structure of Western Inner Mongolia

The terrain of Inner Mongolia is long and narrow, and the geological structure is complicated. The South China crustal velocity model and Inner Mongolias optimal crustal velocity model 2015 cannot fully meet the earthquake location requirements of Inner Mongolia. Based on the seismological observations produced by Inner Mongolia Seismic Digital Network from 2009 to 2016,the initial model was obtained by using the linear fit of the seismic phases and the converted travel time curve. The Hyposat results of 225 earthquakes that occurred in western Inner Mongolia were scanned using this model,and the velocity model for western Inner Mongolia was determined as follows: V1= 6. 06 km/s;VPb= 6. 61 km/s; Vn= 8. 12 km/s; H1= 30 m; and the Moho depth H = 44 km. Comparison of the test results of the new model and the reference model shows that the residual error of the new model and the mean deviation of the epicenter location have obviously decreased.     

新疆精河M_W6.3地震产生的静态应力变化研究

利用精河M_W6.3地震有限断层破裂模型,计算了精河地震产生的位移场、应力场、周围主要断层上的静态库仑应力变化以及主震对余震的触发作用。结果表明:(1)精河地震产生的地表隆升最大值约为6.6cm,沉降最大值约为1.8cm;水平位移方向呈现震中南北侧向震中汇聚、震中东西侧向外"流出"的特点。(2)精河地震产生的水平面应力场展布南北侧物质主要受到指向震中的拉张力作用,东西两侧物质主要受到因震中过剩物质东西向排出而导致的东西向挤压力作用。(3)震中西侧距震中约20km的库松木契克山前断裂中段和震中东北部距震中约50km的四棵树-古尔图南断裂西段的库仑应力加载均大于0.01MPa,即2处为地震危险区。(4)在震源深度为8~12km的余震事件中,约有85.5%处于库仑应力加载区,即受到主震的的触发作用;在深度为4~8km的余震事件中,约有87%受到主震的应力触发作用。

2017年9月4日河北临城M_L4.4地震震源深度测定

震源深度是地震定位中的重要参数之一。对于一个地震,sPn与Pn震相到时差是一个常量,与震中距无关,只与震源深度和地壳模型有关。基于该理论,以河北数字台网数据为基础,识别sPn震相和Pn震相,计算2017年9月4日河北临城ML4.4地震震源深度,结果为6.86km。双差定位法是目前确定震源深度比较精确的方法,双差定位得到的震源深度为7.01km。双差定位法所用数据量比较大,计算过程繁杂。利用sPn与Pn到时差计算震源深度的结果与双差定位法结果接近,计算快速、简单,所需数据量小。因此,将该方法应用到实际工作中,可以快速、准确地测定近震震源深度。     

多种方法测定广东阳西3.7级地震震源深度

应用CAP和深度震相方法,对2018年3月20日发生在广东阳西的M3.7级地震震源深度进行了测定。首先通过CAP方法反演获得震源机制解,拟合最佳震源深度为12km。然后在震中距100km以内的近台识别出清晰的sPL和PmP、sPmP震相,利用频率-波数(F-K)方法,计算出深度震相在不同深度下的理论地震图,与实际观测波形对比测定震源深度为12km。再利用250~400km震中距范围内台站上识别出的sPn与Pn震相的走时差,测得震源深度12.6km。多种方法的研究结果一致,表明该地震震源深度为12km比较可靠。     

Automatic detection,location and quantification of earthquakes: Application to tsunami warning

We describe a fully automated seismic event detection and location system, providing for real-time estimates of the epicentral parameters of both local and distant earthquakes. The system uses 12 telemetered short-period stations, with a regional aperture of 350 km, as well as two 3-component broad-band stations. Detection and location of teleseismic events is achieved independently and concurrently on the short-period and long-period channels. The long-period data is then used to obtain an estimate of the seismic momentM ₀ of the earthquake through the mantle magnitudeM _m, as introduced byOkal andTalandier (1989). In turn, this estimate ofM ₀ is used to infer the expected tsunami amplitude at Papeete, within 15 minutes of the recording of Rayleigh waves. The performance of the method is discussed in terms of the accuracy of the epicentral parameters and seismic moment obtained in real time, as compared to the values later published by the reporting agencies. Our estimates are usually within 3 degrees of the reported epicenter, and the standard deviation on the seismic moment only 0.19 unit of magnitude for a population of 154 teleseismic events.     

一种修定震源参数的方法

本文描述了空间域中的一种定位方法。此方法的主要特点是:1.震中位置与震源深度、发震时刻分离求解;2.震中位置的确定是采用Romney提出的曾融生改进的台偶到时差来建立最小平方条件方程,几乎不受结构的影响;3.震源深度和发震时刻的确定是采用慢度定深度、到时曲线时间截距定发震时刻的方法来实现的。本文用四川境内的5个工业爆破资料,作了方法试验并修定了近年发生的50个天然地震。修定后的震中位置更加靠近断裂带,走时残差减小了,震源深度呈现出沿龙门山断裂由北东向南西逐渐加深的规律性。     

Co-seismic deformation derived from GPS observations during April 20th, 2013 Lushan Earthquake,Sichuan, China

We process the standard 30 s, static GPS data and the 1 s, high-rate GPS (HRGPS) data provided by the Crustal Movement Observation Network of China with GAMIT/GLOBK software package, and obtain the co-seismic displacements of near field and far field, and the epoch-by-epoch time series of HRGPS during Lushan earthquake. GPS data from about 20 sites in Sichuan province, which located between 40 and 450 km from the epicenter, are analyzed so as to study the characteristics of the static displacements and the dynamic crustal deformations, with periods ranging from several minutes to over a month. The result shows that: the static displacements caused by Lushan earthquake are limited to several centimeters; the nearest station SCTQ at 43 km from the epicenter has the largest static displacement of about 2 cm, while the other stations generally have insignificant displacements of less than 5 mm. the stations in the east of Sichuan–Yunnan region shifts 5–10 mm toward the southwest, and the stations in the middle-west of Sichuan Basin moves indistinctively 1–2 mm toward the northwest; station SCTQ has the largest kinematic displacement of about 4 and 3 cm peak-to-peak on the north and east component, respectively, and is much greater than the static permanent displacement; for the stations located at a distance greater than 150 km from the epicenter, the kinematic motions are generally insignificant; exceptionally, station SCNC and station SCSN in central Sichuan Basin have significant kinematic motions although they are more than 200 km away from the epicenter.
